Message From the Director
February was a very productive month for the Literacy Council. Activities included tutor/student recruitment at the North County, Crofton, and Brooklyn Park libraries; a well attended math workshop led by Larry Smith: February 22/March 8 tutor-training preparations for our class of 36 new tutors, including the completion of student assessments for their tutor/student matches; and the fine-tuning of our new AACLC database as well as the initial training for data entry. A tremendous thanks goes out to the team of volunteers who made this progress possible through their hard work, time, and talents.
Our April 8th Appreciation Event for tutors, students, and volunteers is next month. Please make plans to attend!
Warmest Regards,
Lisa Vernon

Tutor Spotlight
 | | Mary Jane McCarthy |
Mary Jane McCarthy has served as our recording secretary and AACLC board member since 2012, and has tutored several students as well--including her current student, Alfred. Mary Jane describes Alfred as a very dedicated man who is working hard to improve his reading, writing, and comprehension skills. "I'm really proud to be able to help Alfred reach his personal goals," Mary Jane notes.
Alfred tells Mary Jane that the AACLC program has not only made him feel more confident at work; he's even started to participate in more activities outside work. Alfred also credits his wife Sandra with providing unfailing support for his hard work. Sandra attends all his tutor sessions and reports an unexpected side benefit: her English-speaking abilities are also improving!
