I would also like to add my support and interest in teaching, motivating, and 
retaining TANF recipients.  As welfare to work has changed to "Work First" we 
now are facing obstacles to overcome the education barriers.  Our council has 
a program specifically for TANF recipients and meeting their educational 
needs.   I am open to discussion and any ideas on how to continue this 
program with a positive impact on the student.
