Congresswoman Davis Visits San Diego Family Care, Mid-City Community Clinic
October 16, 2008
Congresswoman Davis shares her love for reading
with
a visit to San Diego Family Care, Mid-City Community
Clinic. On
October 16
Family Health Center hosted
Congresswoman Susan Davis during a visit for the
Reach
Out and Read Program.
"When my boys were young, I began reading to them
at a very early age. Today, I take great joy in sharing
stories with my grandchildren. As a former member of
the San Diego School Board, I know that literacy is
fundamental to every child's education", said
Congresswoman Davis.
Thank you to Adell Bateman
for making this a great event.

profit organization that serves more than 92,000
