Along with starting literacy programs around the world she has been the recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, Women’s Day National Award, President’s Volunteer Action Award, and has been inducted into the National Women’s Hall of Fame.
Ruth has also written 12 books that cover the topics of tutoring, English as a Second Language, LVA, and of her travels around the world. She will be coming out with her 13th book this Spring, titled My Travels Through Life, Love, and Literacy – A Memoir.
From sharing how she adapted to loss and grief at an early age, to starting a national literacy organization in service of others, Ruth shares her struggles and successes and the stories of those who have touched her life along the way.
Join us as we celebrate literacy and hear about Ruth’s amazing journey that led her to change the world.
Ruth will bring copies of her memoir to be purchased and signed after the luncheon.
