Featured Volunteer Group--USC Pi Beta Phi

This month, seven volunteers from USC Pi Beta Phi joined us for the reading clubs. The USC Pi Phi's have been volunteering with us for a couple of years. They have also raised money for us the last two years in a row at their annual pie social. This year's philanthropy chair is Carly Segal.
