FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CLEVELAND LITHO CLUB TO PARTICIPATE IN LITERACY CAMPAIGN
Cleveland, Ohio -- Date, 19XX -- The Cleveland Litho Club has announced its involvement in the Cleveland Public School's "The Power of Print" literacy program. The program was announced earlier this spring by Cleveland school superintendent, James Young, as a necessary measure in curbing the growing number of illiterate high school graduates and drop-outs.
The Cleveland Litho Club, whose objective is to advance the professional knowledge of its membership, will support the campaign through the printing of posters and the development of a video tape addressing the important role reading plays in daily life. The tape will be made available to schools and social service organizations. Litho Club members also have expressed a willingness to make personal presentations to classrooms.
Club president, Howard Johnson, said the club hopes other clubs and associations will join in the fight against illiteracy.
"The printed word truly is powerful and can open so many doors to young people," Johnson said. `We in the printing industry always are mindful of the importance of the printed word because we deal with it daily. But it touches the lives of everyone and I think too often it is taken for granted. I hope this campaign can gain broad support and impact the lives of many individuals,"
For more information on the "Power of Print" Program call the Cleveland Public School District at XXX-0000. To request additional information from the Cleveland Litho Club, call Bob Jones at XXX-0000.
