Training Opportunities

"Just wanted to say thanks again for Building Literacy Skills in Children tonight!  Amy really provided us with a lot of valuable information in such a short time.  I feel so motivated and excited to become a tutor after the training session, and really feel that 2009 can be my year to help make a difference for a child (or two!)  Anyway, just wanted to let you know that you did a great job of inspiring me to reach out and try to do something good for somebody else.  I look forward to volunteering."
