Congratulations on a great reception! The program was wonderful, the speakers great, the decorations beautiful and the food delicious. The Council and the staff did a superb job as always, and it was a special treat to hear from Hayward Poet Laureate Bruce Roberts, who wrote and read a heartfelt poem about literacy. Here's to another 31 very successful years! - René Besold #anniversary #celebration #reception #LiteracyCouncil #LiteracyPlus #HaywardCityHall #volunteerrecognit
