Hi all,

One of the amazing results from the 2nd Annual WE LEARN Conference -- 
Women & Literacy...Strengthening the Web -- has been that we actually 
are strengthening the web of folks interested in promoting and getting 
involved in the work of WE LEARN. One of those individuals is Donna 
Jones, a learner who lives in San Francisco. She has kindly agreed to 
initiate the organization of a WE LEARN Regional Advisory Board in the 
Bay area.

Here are the initial details so you can put it on your calendars...a 
more detailed event flyer will be available over the weekend on our 
website (www.litwomen.org/welearn.html).

WE LEARN Regional Advisory Board -- Organizational Meeting

This event is free and open to the public. Everyone interested in 
women's literacy and adult basic education is invited. We especially 
would like to invite ABE/ESOL students/learners, teachers, tutors, 
administrators, and volunteers.

The purpose of this meeting is for local people to learn more about the 
work of WE LEARN, and to establish a regional group interested in 
pursuing projects and opportunities to address issues related to 
women's literacies and adult basic education.

WE LEARN Mission statement: WE LEARN promotes women's literacy as a 
tool for personal growth and social change through networking, 
education, action, and resource development.

We are a grassroots, popular education organization and a 501(c)3 
non-profit membership organization. We WE LEARN is strong and viable 
due to the commitment and energy of our membership.
