This listserv has been **extremely useful** to me and my colleagues in the community-based adult and family literacy programs in which we work. We have learned so much--from policy matters to nitty-gritty, day-to-day ideas for parent-child activities. We have attended conferences that we learned of solely through the listserv. We have visited suggested websites that yielded information or articles of interest to the adults enrolled in our programs. We have received suggestions from other providers on parent-education curriculum and resources that helped us develop our own curriculum. We have learned about legislation that affects our funding (and know that we need to play a more active role ourselves in promoting family literacy on a policy level). We have... We have... We have... fill in the blank with many more benefits! Suffice it to say that the listserv has become an important resource for staff development in our programs, and, furthermore, it gives us a sense of community with the wide variety of family-literacy program providers across the continent and even over the ocean! My sincerest thanks for providing this wonderful resource, Betsy Rubin Blue Gargoyle Adult and Family Learning Programs Chicago
