THE FIRST WMFCE GRANT IS GIVEN

The Kalamazoo Literacy Council is the recipient of the 2014 West Michigan Federation of College Educators (WMFCE) Community Outreach Grant. The grant provides a one-time contribution of $1,000 to a Kalamazoo-based charitable organization chosen by the members of the Professional Instructors Organization, the Teaching Assistants Union, and the KVCC Federation of Teachers, to support to a member-nominated charitable organization, encourage volunteer opportunities for WMFCE members, educate WMFCE members regarding the charity’s specific goals and programs, and to promote labor solidarity in the Kalamazoo area.

A very special thank you to Erin Praedel (center) for nominating the KLC and to Tom Kostrzewa (left, President of the PIO) for presenting the award to the KLC Board President Antonio Mitchell.
