Are you the owner of a home based daycare or does your non-profit organization deal with young families? Eartha’s United Learning Advocacy (EULA) Program has successfully donated books to the local community, to include the United Service Organizations (USO). The goal of EULA is to provide organizations and independently owned daycare/preschools with quality books that make learning about staying healthy fun. Dream Ellison sponsors the EULA Program and looks forward to collaborating with other authors who focus on early education. In addition to opportunities to collaborate, the EULA Program is a proud supporter of the Fairfax County Park Foundation – McLean Central Park Playground.
