Friends and Colleagues,
It is that time again.  Time to honor your student successes.  NCFL honors
four students each year at the National Conference on Family Literacy, March
19 - 21, 2006.  This year, we are again searching for accomplished adult
students to represent themselves, their families and your programs.  Please
submit your nominations ( see criteria below) by January 6, 2006.  We will
make the selection by January 13, 2006.
Thanks

Bonnie
