Lee Leaves Literacy PlusBy now, most of you will know that Program Coordinator Lee Torvi is leaving Literacy Plus. The Board of Directors accepted her resignation, with regret, at their October meeting. Lee has been with Literacy Plus for nine years and through her time with us the program has grown and changed in many ways - we have taken on new programs, a new name and a new location. And we have become more connected with other agencies throughout Renfrew County. How will we replace Lee? From January through March, Diane Litchfield will act as Interim Coordinator, taking on many of Lee's jobs; Peggy Bridgland and Sue Rupert will take on others. Pam Contant has been hired to teach the upgrading program two days a week. Pam has experience teaching this kind of multidimensional program and we are very pleased that she has agreed to join us. Between January and March, Board and staff will review the administrative jobs and needs, and plan for staffing for the new fiscal year starting April 1. It's a time of change for Literacy Plus, both a loss and a challenge, but we are looking to the positive things ahead. We'll miss you Lee, but we wish you well in your new teaching job. We look forward to working with you in a new capacity. Christmas Open HouseJoin staff and students at the Christmas Open House on Wednesday, December 13, between 11:00 and 2:00 p.m. Enjoy hot cider and snacks, pick up your calendars, wish Lee well, and celebrate the season with us. Holiday ClosingThe Literacy Plus office will close for two weeks over Christmas and New Year’s. It will close at the end of the day on December 15 and reopen on Wednesday, January 3. Most classes start again the week of January 8. Happy Holidays!  Merry Christmas
