a COOL mystery

This past Saturday, the Horry County Literacy Council in Myrtle Beach, SC held its primary annual fundraiser to bring awareness to the importance of reading and literacy. The Literacy Council held its seventh annual murder mystery dinner "Hulas and Homicide." To help make the mystery dinner a success a variety of local personalities signed up for roles in the play including a crew from WPDE-TV 15's news division. Joel Allen, a local reporter for WPDE enjoyed playing the role of detective in the mystery and loved having fun for a good cause, "It's something we all believe in, because reading and literacy are a real important cause for me, and for all of us." He expresses that the literacy council does a great job of trying to spread the love of reading around and realizes the impact reading could have on society, "I think if we could get more kids hooked on reading, instead of bullying and fighting, this would be a better world." Here's to Joel Allen and the rest of the cast that helped make "Hulas and Homicide" a successful fundraiser for the Horry Literacy Council in Myrtle Beach, SC-stay positive, stay generous, and STAY COOL! Would you play a role in play for what you felt was an important cause? What are your thoughts on reading making the world a better place?
