On May 1st, something special happened.
Under the Cover, Literacy Unlimited’s signature fundraiser event, brought together a full house of passionate supporters, curious readers, and community champions. The event completely sold out, and the energy in the room was undeniable from start to finish.
Held at the stunning Souffle de Vie Vineyard, the evening featured excellent wine, lively conversation, and a captivating on-stage dialogue between acclaimed author Ashley Audrain and journalist Kristy Snell. Their exchange brought inspiration, laughter, and honest reflection — exactly what this celebration of literacy deserved.
Highlights of the Night:
- A packed house filled with energy and connection
- A silent auction and raffle that had the room buzzing
- Beautiful photos by @lucybaum that perfectly captured the night’s atmosphere
- Most importantly, critical support for free, one-on-one tutoring for adults improving their reading, writing, and digital skills
