The student employees of the Paul Simon Chicago Job Corps Center attended a community service event for Raise A Hand Illinois (RAHI) sponsored by the Illinois State Lottery and WGCI 107.5 FM Clear Channel Radio at the Sherman Elementary School, Chicago, Illinois. The Raise A Hand Illinois has a continuing mission of promoting scholastic achievement by sponsoring book fairs throughout th state of Illinois. The students assisted by unpacking books, converting a classroom into a library and preparing for the book fair. All of the students and volunteers received T-shirts. One student won tickects to the Chicago Bulls game and another student won tickets to the Lil Wayne concert in a drawing for all volunteers. The event was an enriching experience and rewarding for the students knowing they helped for a worthy cause. Lets read Illinois!
