Susan and any others interested,

Try this NCFL page at 
<http://www.famlit.org/ProgramsandInitiatives/EvenStart/Even-Start-Webcast.cfm> 
.  It has information about and links to the two webcasts that have already 
been held.  I'll let the list know when I hear anything about how to tune 
in to the September 22 one, or you can call the Family Literacy Infoline 
telephone number at the bottom of their page.  Let me know if this doesn't 
answer your questions.
