MN Reading Corps: Have you heard a great story recently, especially one that’s read by an elementary school child?

You can call Linda Bottelson at 379-5115 to arrange for reading with a child between 8:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. school days. Remember to leave a message saying when is the best time to return a call to you.

RSVP, a program of Senior Resources of Freeborn County, receives some funding through the United Way of Freeborn County, Minnesota Board on Aging and the Corporation for National and Community Service.
