[AAACE-NLA] Help Needed-Constructs for the Message

Dear Debbie,

A final thought.

When a person wants to buy a house, say, they go to  the bank for the extra money, a loan that is gradually paid back.

Why?  Because they don't have the necessary $ capital to pay for the whole thing. Same with literacy.  A lot of people didn't have the necessary captital to get literacy to begin with--family support, good schools, good diagnosis, whatever. 

Your business people are your bank, and the return on investment THEY  get is help for the community--civic participation, stronger families, better jobs which mean more taxes, people with more disposable income can spend more in the community.  Etc.  These business people are investors.  Different people "vibrate" to different types of returns.

Gee, good luck.

Andrea
