Hi All - just a quick reminder about the national community literacy  
conference, Read, Rattle and Roll, in Memphis in March.  The deadline for  
registration is January 30th so if you are planning on joining us please do go  to the 
website and register (_www.literacypowerline.com_ 
(http://www.literacypowerline.com) ).   You might want to check out the four pre-conference sessions for 
new coalitions,  coalition evaluation, funders and health literacy that take 
place on March  12.  Please let me know if you have any questions.
 
Hope to see you there,
Margaret

Jim,
Literacy Powerline is an organization that supports literacy  coalitions 
around the country, and helps to build community literacy plans.  Literacy 
Powerline was influential in helping to form coalitions in many  communities-some 
examples are Buffalo, Baton Rouge, and Fort Worth.
I think  that if you go to the following website: www.literacypowerline.com 
you will  find a lot of helpful information. 
Margaret Doughty's contact information  is also on the website. She is an 
amazing leader, someone who has helped  communities "get it together". She has a 
wealth of ideas, tips and  suggestions.
If you and your colleagues can go to this conference, I highly  recommend it. 
It is probably THE conference to go to, if you are interested in  community 
literacy building. I have highly recommended it to folks in my  community!

Julie, or  Anyone... 

Could individuals/organizations that have had interactions  with
Literacypowerline please provide some comment/feedback on  the
organization and their conferences/programming?  At a glance  it
certainly appears to be addressing issues that need addressing...  But
I've never heard of it and would appreciate information from anyone  who
has. 

Thanks,
