On Tuesday, May 22, at 4:30PM, the Durham Merchants Association will present a check to the Durham Literacy Center for the establishment of a Literacy Resource Library. The presentation will take place at the Durham Literacy Center training facility, currently housed at Lakewood Baptist
Church, 2100 Chapel Hill Rd. Durham.

Everyone is invited to support The First Annual Durham Literacy Center Phantom Ball. Just estimate how much you would spend to attend a formal ball. Think about the cost of formal clothes, baby sitting, transportation as well as your valuable time. Calculate how much you would spend. A contribution of this amount would be appreciated. Now, sit down and relax.

Click “Donate Now”, at top right hand corner of this webpage, or write a check to the Durham Literacy Center. Mail checks to Durham Literacy Center, 1410 W. Chapel Hill Street, Durham NC 27701.

There is no obligation to attend an event. That’s why we call it the “Phantom Ball”. Stay home and enjoy an evening of leisure knowing that you have helped others. Proceeds from the Phantom Ball will go to support our literacy empowerment programs.
