A Proud Tradition

Since its inception in 1955, with Dr. Morton Botel as our first president, DVRA has been active locally, nationally, and internationally, continuously sponsoring a variety of outstanding programs in the Delaware Valley. The finest speakers on reading in this country and abroad have appeared at DVRA-sponsored meetings. We invite you to join us in our celebration and our service as we continue to celebrate 50 years of service in the Delaware Valley.
