"My name is Joan Tousey, President of the Board of the Reading Group for the past three months and a member of the board for six years."
"We are delighted to now be located in our new home in SW Champaign, since the beginning of the 2008 and in this lovely new home in the Village Office Place for the past few weeks."
"Many people are responsible for making the new location a special place for children and families, not the least of which is the fine staff at TRG. We would also like to acknowledge our friends at Sunbuilt Homes and Dave Huddelston who have gone out of their way to make this day possible and to provide for this warm (hopefully not hot!), comfortable, and extremely professional looking place."
"We would also like to acknowledge Dr. Robert Shafer for providing temporary office space for TRG for the first few months of the year, after the space was vacated in Lincoln Square. Everyone enjoyed the great space at the northeast corner of Windsor and Duncan Road."
"Thanks to those of you who have joined us today, whether you be former, current or future students and family members; fellow board members; staff; business neighbors; community friends, or donors. We rely on your ongoing involvement, as a client, supporter, or volunteer, to help TRG grow and make a difference in the lives of children."
"Special acknowledgement to the founder and former Executive Director, Marilyn Kay, and her husband, David. It is because of Marilyn’s interest in improving the reading abilities of children that this organization exists today. Thank you for joining us Marilyn and David."
"Also thank you to current ED, Kathy Wimer for continuing Marilyn’s vision and taking TRG through a series of moves over the past few years. One more “David” to acknowledge – Kathy’s husband, David, who has given countless hours of his time, serving as the IT manager, and other not so attractive jobs, such as mover, painter, janitor, etc. Kathy and David, like Marilyn and David before them, are extremely caring and generous people."
"Now, I would like to introduce his honor, Mayor Jerry Schweighart, mayor of the City of Champaign. We are grateful to have the mayor here today to help us celebrate this important occasion."
