Redlake founder receives Spirit of Literacy Award

Warwick —The Literacy Volunteers of Western Orange County has honored Christine Regan, president of Redlake Inc. in Warwick, with its “Spirit of Literacy” award for her volunteer work for the organization over the past year. Regan was approached by several volunteer organizations to become involved with in the county, but she and her partner Michael Lake decided on two local non-profit organizations: the Literacy Volunteers of Western Orange County and Safe Homes of Orange County. Regan and Lake are both prolific readers. “If you want to better your life, reading is essential,” Regan said. “It is one of the most important building blocks for self esteem, self-knowledge and ultimately ones’ success.” Redlake is a sales and marketing firm whose clients have included Active International, Clear Channel Communications, Sony Electronics, and Footstar Inc. Redlake donated expertise to the Literacy Volunteers, including work on logo designs, invitations, and posters. “Hearing the students speak about the joy, freedom, and pride that learning to read has given them really filled my heart and reaffirmed our decision to become involved with Literacy Volunteers for the long-term,” Regan said.
