Tutor Spotlights
MARY COLE PATTERSON
We want to introduce Mary Cole Patterson.
Mary is a native of Altus with family spanning generations.
Mary is not only one of GPLC’s board members, she is also a volunteer tutor for ESL & Hi Set.
She donated her time making the beautiful "So Many Titles...So Little Time quilt" for a silent bid auction fundraiser, which brought in over $1000.00 towards the continued mission of the GPLC.
Mary goes above and beyond for her learners. She meets a small group of learners at their place of business before serving hours once a week.
She is very dedicated to her learners and does all she can to ensure they are confident in their learning.
We are proud to have Mary as our tutor spotlight of our summer issue.
Thank you Mary for all you do for your students and GPLC!!
