Louise Tapper Recognized for Outstanding Service

Louise Tapper

At this year’s Volunteer Appreciation Dinner, the Adult Literacy League recognized Louise Tapper with their award for Outstanding Service. Louise has volunteered as a reader at the Winter Garden Children’s Health Center on Plant Street for over five years. Every week, Louise faithfully visits the center waiting room and reads to children and their families while they wait for their appointment with the doctor. After reading, when supplies allow, she also gives the children a free book to keep. These books are furnished by ALL. She also tells the parents about the free services the League has to offer, which include one-to-one tutoring, ESL classes, ABE classes and more. Over the course of the last five years, Louise has given books to over 1500 children and touched the lives of many, many more. “Thank you so much, Louise, for all you have done to enhance the lives of our children through reading!” For information on how you can join Louise, please call 407-422-1540 and ask about the Reach Out and Read program.
