“The launch meeting is one of the most important components of starting the Greenwich United Way Reading Champions year,” said Marie Wardell. “It exhibits how the program is organized and it provides the leadership needed to service a number of children who benefit from our program every year. The launch meeting allows the team to share ideas, distribute program materials, and provide the support for the upcoming Greenwich United Way Reading Champions year.”
Wardell said that as the program grows, volunteers are needed to to service the children. Volunteer training will take place October 3, 4, and 5.
