YPI CHARITY FUNDRAISER AND GRANTS
Important programs initiated by YPI Committee The young professionals group has been hard at work
this past year creating exciting new opportunities for FFF Fairs and Associates. With support of the Florida Federation of Fairs Board of Directors, we are proud to announce the continuation of two community service based programs for the 2017-2018 Fair season. The projects will conclude with activities and recognitions at the 2018 convention in Orlan- do. 1st – YPI Community Service Grants We will be awarding two, $500 grants to fairs or associ-
ate members doing great things in their community. If you are a young professional (40 and under), organizing and promoting a community service project in your area, we want to help you go further and provide future funding. Applications for our YPI Community Service Grants will be posted on the FFF’s website and should be turned in before April 1, 2018. Tell us what your young members are doing to help make the world a better place and you just might be the recipient of $500. 2nd – YPI Resource Drive to assist The Literacy Vol-
unteers of Collier County Since 1984, Literacy Volunteers of Collier County (LVCC),
a 501c3 non-profit organization, has been offering confi- dential one-to-one tutoring to adults who want to improve their reading, writing, and English speaking skills to partici- pate more fully in the daily tasks of life such as family, em- ployment, school and community.

als to be served, LVCC helps meet the challenges of Collier County’s growing population to ensure that all people from all walks of life deserve the chance to live productive and fulfilling lives. An accredited affiliate of ProLiteracy America, LVCC’s
trained and dedicated tutors work with students of all lev- els.
