Please contact Celia Rodee at cer24@cornell.edu, or visit our webiste www.gecrc.org if you would like to form a team or volunteer to help.

This annual event raises money to support the Children’s Resource Center. The mission of the Resource Center is to provide literacy and life skills to low-income households in Glen Ellyn. GECRC provides tutoring in all academic subjects, with an emphasis on educating students for whom English is a second language. It relies on the support of donations, grants and volunteers.

Tickets are only $5 and are available before the event at these downtown merchants:

• Renaissance Art Studio, 481 N. Main St. 
• The Bookstore, 475 N. Main St. 
• Ten Thousand Villages, 499 Pennsylvania Ave.

Tickets will also be available at the door. It’s cheaper than a movie and a whole lot of fun!
