SOUTH BALDWIN LITERACY COUNCIL

The South Baldwin Literacy Council is excited to share that our Executive Director, Taylor Johns, has officially completed the Nonprofit Leadership Academy - a ten-month program led by nonprofit consultant Shannon Preston. The academy covered essential topics including Board Governance, Strategic Planning, Fundraising, and Marketing.

The South Baldwin Literacy Council honored 82 incredible graduates and honorees across our youth and adult programs— our largest group yet! The Civic Center was packed with over 300 guests, and the energy in the room was incredible.

The South Baldwin Literacy Council volunteered with the Gulf Coast Hot Air Balloon Festival! We had an incredible time at this year’s festival! On Friday, we were out at the interactive balloon, sharing books, handing out prizes, and spreading the love of literacy—even with some wild wind in the mix! We can't wait for next year!

The South Baldwin Literacy Council partnered with the Orange Beach Library for our annual Snowbird Trivia Night, and it was a fantastic evening of fun, friendly competition, and community support! All proceeds from the event go directly to benefit the South Baldwin Literacy Council and the Orange Beach Library, helping us continue our missions of education and enrichment in Baldwin County. A special thank you to the local businesses who contributed to our Pick-a-Pot prizes – we couldn’t do it without your generosity! Thank you to all of our incredible players for coming to our Annual Snowbird Trivia Night on Saturday, February 22, at the Orange Beach Event Center. Together, we raised $6,320 for literacy in Baldwin County! Trivia Winners: 1st Place: Doin' Our Best, 2nd Place: Double Dribble Krewe and 3rd Place: Women Who Wine!
