[NLA] Commercial/Ad

[Kevin O'Connor]

Yes, they called us and asked the same thing.  It's always hard to reach the
truly low-level learners who need our ABE classes.  Hopefully this may find
at least one.  If it works maybe we'll go to NASCAR next!

Subject: [NLA] Commercial/Ad


I received a call yesterday from a Wal-Mart representative saying that
Wal-Mart is sponsoring a commercial on a country music TV award  show on
May 21 (?). The ad centers on adult literacy and an 800 number will be
given for individuals interested in improving their reading skills or
attaining a GED. The caller wanted to verify my name and number for
possible referrals. Has anyone else heard about this? I also wonder what
Wal-Mart projects the response will be.
