Literacy Powerline It is wonderful to see so many mayors signing the scroll. The US Conference of mayors have been very supportive and have invited us to send more photos of mayors for their 'Right to Literacy Scroll Gallery' in the US Mayors newspaper. The scroll will also be available at the national conference of the US Conference o...f Mayors. If your mayor has not signed let me know and I'll get the scroll to you.

Literacy Powerline Have just finished tracing the banner for Scroll #2! It was fun. There have been so many requests for the scroll that in order for each requesting community to get it we have to have two on the go. Maybe we need a map to keep up with the journeys.

Literacy Powerline I have come to believe that a great teacher is a great artist and that there are as few as there are any other great artists. Teaching might even be the greatest of the arts since the medium is the human mind and spirit. John Steinbeck
