The Children’s Learning Center program is a local miracle. Since it opened, children for whom reading was a mystery because of dyslexia, have literally gone from despair to honors grades. The smiles on their faces and the relief in their parents’ eyes tell you that our Center is providing the tools that will help these children succeed — all at no cost.

Since 1994, the Learning Centers, sponsored by Scottish Rite Masons, have helped thousands of children. Additionally, hundreds of teachers have received free training to provide specialized tutoring to dyslexic children. This training helps them reach many more students in their classrooms. Without the Learning Center program, thousands of children would face discouragement and hopelessness.

 

The Builders Council

 

Just as masons of old laid a cornerstone to begin the building of a great palace; the ability to read is the foundation of each child’s future. It provides the base upon which all learning depends.

 
Membership in the Builders Council means that you have made a commitment to assure that the Learning Center will continue to help children with dyslexia today and for years to come.

 

Ways to Join

 

Membership in the Builders Council requires a commitment of at least $10,000 to the Board Restricted Fund of your Learning Center. It may be made using one of the following methods:

 
        • Making a pledge of cash over a period of up to 10 years
        • Specifying a bequest to the Learning Center
        • Establishing an annuity or trust through the Learning Center

How a Tie and Scarf can Change the World

 
Every member of the Builders Council receives a commemorative green tie and scarf. The teddy bear pattern represents the Learning Center. Wearing it reminds everyone that there are children needlessly suffering because of their dyslexia and that the Learning Center program is here to help.

 

Every child is a seed of hope that may blossom into a bright future. Your membership in the Builders Council assures that children with dyslexia will enjoy the same opportunities that all children deserve.
