Hello,
Effie Lee received the Reading the World Award at our USF conference. Thi s year№s conference March 6,7, 2010 will definitely do a memorial in her honor. She has been our figurehead and shining beacon since the inception of this conference, which began as a student sponsored project in 1997.
