Staff Writer The Cullman chapter of the Rainbow Reading Council was recently honored by the Alabama Reading Association for their efforts to promote literacy locally. “We have been getting a really good response from students,” President Neva Hite said. Specifically, the group was commended for its community service project, which was a theatre style booth at the recent Cullman County Fair. “Many members and volunteer students dressed as characters from their favorite books,” Hite said. “This program was designed to encourage the community to become involved in the promotion of literacy. As part of the project, students who visited the booth received free trade books and candy after viewing a play, or participating in a book reading. “Some children came back for seconds,” Hite said. “Parents, along with many grandparents, were excited over the information being distributed and the literacy project itself.” Rainbow Reading Council President Elect Lisa Campbell said the students were very excited about the fair project, and reading in general. “The students I talked with were excited about the project and enjoyed the experience,” she said. The Rainbow Reading Council also won a second place award for a similar project last year by the International Reading Association. “Cullman is now recognized for its quest to inform and promote literacy throughout our county,” Hite said. Hite wished to thank volunteers and sponsors including the Cullman Lions Club, Eva Bank, Walker Brothers Building Supply, Sharon Wilborn, Dr. Gail Pritchard and all the other volunteers. “The Rainbow Reading Council would like to thank all of those involved for another successful year,” Hite said.
