Subject: Your Action Needed: Leading Literacy Champion
Importance: High

As you know, Verizon has championed the cause of literacy and helped all of
us advance our important work. Their support for NCFL and family literacy
has been critical to our services. They are more than a $4 million donor to
us! With their help we are expanding services, offering the first-ever
online family literacy directory, building the nation's first and premier
online training tool for practitioners and volunteers, working with a
celebrity ambassador for family literacy, and pursuing many other special
projects. 

Now is the time to let Verizon know how important their support is of
literacy. Please log onto http://foundation.verizon.com/04010.shtml
<http://foundation.verizon.com/04010.shtml > and vote, as a member of the
general public, for LITERACY as the most important cause to support.
Verizon wants to know what philanthropic cause is most important to
communities across the nation--it is imperative that our voice be heard!
Now is the time to show Verizon that their support for literacy is the most
important thing they can continue to do for the nation. 

Thank you in advance for taking this important action today.   Please
forward this urgent message so that your friends, family and colleagues can
express their support for literacy as well--as members of the general
public. 

Thank you in advance for your participation.
