Note from Greg St. Clair:
I wanted to tell you what a great time I had presenting to your group. I hope they were able to benefit in some small way. If you get any feedback on your groups experiences working through our grant process I would appreciate that.
I did have one question which was not answered at the presentation about the literacy grant. The grant can be applied to and an existing ESL program. If you could share this with your group I would appreciate that as well.
