Upcoming Programs and Events

Linda Johnson (image below), WORDUP President, will speak about their program, which provides Board Books for children 3 years and under to parents or caregivers to encourage early reading. Linda taught for 25 years, most of that time in Springfield. Her passion for books and children inspired her to found WORDUP in 2017. Our Club partnered with her to choose and acquire age-appropriate books and work with us on distributing them as part of our District Literacy Grant. The books for our project were purchased along with a larger order for WORDUP to give us an excellent price for the books so we could get more books for our project. See President's Comments for more information on this project.

 

 

Membership Chair, Harry Mitchell will facilitate a discussion of our progress on the membership front. 

 

Leah (image below) is an experienced museum professional who has been directing the Kidzeum since 2018. She will discuss the programs and activities of this Springfield children's museum, including upcoming STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math) after-school programs and plans for the development of a new STEAM Center in the Kidzeum.
