Hello my Literacy Friend,

I am writing you today to invite you to join us in celebrating the launch
of our new website - Writenet.ca!
Welcome to a new website devoted to writing.  The goal of Writenet.ca is
to promote the use and value of writing in literacy and social/special
programming.  Based on many years of experience working with new and/or
reluctant adult writers, we believe that writing is a fun and effective
way to increase literacy skills, feel part of the community and make
healthy changes in our lives.  A dedicated group of Writing Out Loud
Literacy Instructors from across Canada has worked together to develop and
build Writenet.ca as a place for you to find a wealth of information and
support to help bring writing to your learning settings in new and
engaging ways.

A Writing Community
What makes Writenet.ca different than other websites about writing?  Well,
in short, it's the growing community of like-minded people who recognize
that writing is more than just spelling and grammar.  You'll quickly feel
apart of this community when you join in the dynamic and educational
discussions on the Writenet.ca Bulletin Boards.  

Writenet.ca as is stands now, is a starting point.  This space is designed
to change and grow according to the needs and interests of the membership.
 We look forward to sharing information and learning together as we go
along.  So please visit www.writenet.ca to read all about us, register for
discussions and join us in this exciting learning adventure.

Training Opportunities
If you are interested in becoming a Certified Writing Out Loud Instructor,
there are two training opportunities coming up.  Contact me by phone or
email if you are interested.
October 18th, 2004 - January 28th, 2005  (with  2 wk break for Christmas)
February 14th, 2005 - May 13th, 2005 (with 1 wk break for Easter)

Happy World Literacy Day!
