Joyce fue miembro durante mucho tiempo de la Junta Directiva de Voluntarios de Alfabetización del Condado de Washington. Le apasionaba LVWC y siempre se podía contar con ella para ayudar a los estudiantes, recaudar fondos y reclutar voluntarios.
El principio
¡Todo comenzó en 2012 con un pescador de Stonington! James Arruda Henry tenía alrededor de noventa años cuando comenzó a aprender a leer y escribir. A pesar de vivir una vida exitosa sin alfabetización, James comenzó a estudiar y luego escribió su primer libro, In a Fisherman's Language. Su vida mostró cómo el poder del compromiso, el trabajo duro y la determinación pueden redefinir a una persona a cualquier edad: ¡la verdadera misión de LVWC!
