"Once you learn to read, you will be forever free" - Frederick Douglass
Join us for a celebration of literacy and all it can do to change lives.
About the Event
Join the Columbia Town Center Rotary Club on Monday, August 18, 2025, 6-9 pm, at 18th & 21st, for Books, Bubbles and All That Jazz - a fun evening of delectable cocktails, delicious appetizers & live music, while helping support kids in Howard County through signature books & reading programs. These programs stimulate a love for reading and the fundamental skill of learning, enabling the development of solid community members, AND, they bring so much joy to the kids who might not otherwise have books of their own to cherish. Jamie Costello, WMAR-TV News Anchor, will be our Master of Ceremonies.
Proceeds from this event go directly to the Columbia Town Center Rotary Club Foundation, Inc., a 501(c)(3) organization (EIN 20-2858354) to fund our signature literacy-based programs in Howard County and beyond.
