Gail,

I to would like to thank you for moderating this list.  It has provided many many resources and ideas that have been useful in our family literacy programs.  Discontinuing the listserve will make it more difficult to obtain or share the wonderful ideas that other programs are using or developing.  I am so sorry to see it discontinued.  Thank you for all that you have done to provide resources for our programs.

Gail,

I want to publicly THANK YOU for moderating this list. I have greatly appreciated and *used* the resources that you and others have posted here. I subscribe to other NIFL lists but they do not fill the same role - I am very sorry to see this list discontinued.

Thanks for all you have done - and are doing - for family literacy!

Betsy

Dear Subscribers,



As you read in the notice from NIFL that was posted last Friday, tomorrow will be our last day together as members of the NIFL Family Literacy Discussion List. I am sorry to see the List close and am grateful for the time I have spent as its moderator. Thank you to each of you, both contributors and lurkers, for your support and for sharing your expertise, questions and concern for families. I feel as if I have grown in my knowledge because of you and I hope that you have taken something away from the List as well.
