Howard Mabe Childrens Book Fund Stokes Partnership for Children is pleased to announce the Howard Mabe Childrens Book Fund. Howard Mabe, a former Stokes County Commissioner, was an active board member of Stokes Partnership for Children for many years. He served as Treasurer of the board and was an energetic SPC committee member. He was well liked and respected by SPC staff and fellow members of the SPC Board of Directors. In order to honor his memory, Stokes Partnership for Children has established the Howard Mabe Childrens Book Fund. Donations to the fund will be used to purchase new books for young children in Stokes County, in order to encourage the love of reading beginning at an early age. Labels will be placed in the front of each book informing the recipient that the book was given through the Howard Mabe Childrens Book Fund. Howard Mabe valued the well-being of young children and appreciated the importance of literacy as it relates to school readiness and future success. This ongoing initiative will be a way for the community to continue to give back to a cause that was so important to Howard Mabe and to help honor his memory.
Donations may be made to Stokes Partnership for Children, Howard Mabe Childrens Book Fund, PO Box 2319, King, NC 27021. For more information contact SPC at 336-985-2676 or buildingfoundations@stokespfc.com.
