Greetings and welcome to the November issue of Between the Lines! Here at NALC we have been busy preparing for our…

ANNUAL STUDENT/TUTOR BANQUET, taking place this year:

Thursday, November 17, 2011

5:30 PM

Cohn Adult Learning Center, 2^nd Floor Gymnasium

We can’t wait to taste all of the wonderful dishes you will prepare (don’t forget to bring a serving spoon!), and we are even more eager to give our learners and tutors the recognition you deserve for your hard work and dedication throughout the year. To RSVP, call the Cohn office at 615-298-8060. Our volunteers are the backbone of this program, so we hope that you will attend and allow us to express our gratitude.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED DAY OF BANQUET

NALC is looking for volunteers to help staff set up the day of banquet. Responsibilities may include decorating the room and tables, setting up chairs, monitoring food lines during the event, or cleaning up and tearing down after the banquet.

If you are interested in helping, please contact our Cohn office at 298-8060, or info@nashvilleliteracy.org. Please be sure to indicate whether you would like to volunteer during the day (10 AM – 2 PM) or in the evening (5 PM – 9 PM).

CONVERSATION CLUB

Conversation club is led by volunteers and is designed to expose learners to day-to-day conversation, culture, and idioms they might not be otherwise exposed to. Tutors are welcome and encouraged to attend with their learners, to keep conversation flowing, and to expose our learners to a variety of accents and dialects. Please note the upcoming Conversation Club dates:

Cohn: November 9 12:00 PM -1:30 PM

and EVERY Tuesday evening 6:00 PM – 7:00 PM

Antioch: November 16 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM
