Highlighting this year's reception are remarks by Susie Schechter, executive director of Reading Works, a collaborative initiative dedicated to raising the level of adult literacy in metro Detroit, who will speak on finding your community passion.
In addition, Just the Beginning Foundation, an organization dedicated to educational programs aimed at minority and underrepresented students in middle and high school who demonstrate an interest in pursuing careers in the legal field, will be recognized as a community honoree.
Attendees may bring a self-help or children's books to donate to Reading Works.
