Dallas Continentals has partnered with First Book, a longtime supporter of the Continental Societies’ National Literacy initiative. According to Judith T. Nix, President of the Dallas Chapter, “Nationally, Continentals feel literacy is the basic ability to read and write. This Literacy project is designed to enhance the literacy skills of our children and youth through reading and hopefully, it will propel them to process the educational materials they encounter daily.”
