Day of Celebration of the 10th Anniversary of the National Institute for
Literacy, Thursday, March 7th


1) Ice cream, cake, and information for Congressional staffers in the
Russell Senate Office Building, Room 188, from 3:30 to 5:30, sponsored by
Scholastic Inc.

2) Reception for Members of Congress and the public in the Hart Senate
Office Building, Room 216, 6:00 to 8:00, sponsored by AOL Time Warner.  The
public must call 1-888-269-4902 with names and SSNs by 3/5/02.
You can help make a difference by contacting your Congressional
representatives with this information, reiterating our invitation and asking
them to please attend, and by joining us for the reception if you are in the
area.



Andy has just written about what a writer Susan Green was.  Susan took the
lead writing the first Literacy*AmeriCorps grant in 1994.  NIFL ran the
program for the first couple of years and now, with over one million hours
of service to the community, NAULC manages the program.  In that grant Susan
wrote the following words, which I've used ever since, and which are in all
the invitations to Congress for this celebration of NIFL, which of course
wouldn't be complete without a celebration of Susan as well.



She wrote, "Literacy is not a cure all, but none of the social or economic
ills our nation faces today will be overcome
unless attention to the basic skills of everyone in our communities is part
of the solution."
