Description:
UPDATE: Sadly, our in-person Scrabble Tournament cannot be held on April 30, 2020. We are postponing our spring fundraiser. A new date is to be determined.
The Literacy Volunteers of the New River Valley presents their 14th Annual Scrabble Tournament for Literacy on Thursday, April 30, 2020 at the German Club Manor on the campus of Virginia Tech.
Join us for this friendly word play competition, which will feature two rounds of games, a delightful selection of local appetizer offerings from Zeppoli’s, and a super fun way to support local adult and family literacy initiatives!
We will have two categories of play to the event. You can enter in the "Competitive" or the "Just for Fun" category.
The cost to register is $35.00 for individuals, $20.00 for students and teams of three for $100.00.
To sign-up online, visit: https://connect.clickandpledge.com/Organization/lvnrv/campaign/LiteracyoftheNewRiverValley1.
All proceeds support free tutoring for adults to provide them with the skills they need for personal independence and family self-sufficiency.
Awards will be given to the Top Scorer, Most BINGOS, Most Creative Team Name, Best Costumes and more.
The event will kick off with dinner at 5:30 pm and the first game will be at 6:15 pm followed by a short break and the second game.
The Literacy Volunteers of the New River Valley connects community members who want to strengthen their literacy skills with trained, volunteer tutors. We provide tutoring in both basic literacy (reading and writing) and English as a second language (conversational and basic English skills) to adults in the New River Valley.
We also promote public awareness, cooperative partnerships, information sharing and referrals between literacy programs and communities.
