THE PRESIDENT'S CORNER

In the previous issue of Laubach Links newsletter I commented on the successful conference held in Rocky Harbour October 2002. I should have mentioned at that time that the Bay St. George Literacy Council has graciously offered to host our next Annual General Meeting in October 2003. We will have more information on this in the near future.

Last Annual General Meeting we were fortunate to receive funding from the National Literacy Secretariat and the Red Ochre Regional Board.
These funds were used to offset the costs to bring students and volunteers to the conference. However, we do not have any commitment for funding at this time. I urge all councils hoping to send students and council members to AGM 2003, to start their funding-raising efforts now. Our Vice President, Monnie Moores has a number of fund-raising ideas in this issue and I'm sure your council members will have suggestions which you could share with other councils. Good luck and I look forward to hearing about your successful efforts.
