The “Lamplighters are grateful to fellow literacy organization Woman’s Club of Radford (WCR) for their recent donation to us,” the Lamplighters announced. “WCR is a charitable organization that encourages reading at every stage of childhood. In support of Lamplighters’ efforts to fund Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library for Radford via Radford Public Library, WCR generously presented Lamplighter Barbara Ames with a check for Lamplighters and DPIL. Lamplighters is grateful to WCR for their generous donation.”
