Laubach Literacy of British Columbia Spring Conference

2001 Richmond BC      June 8-10, 2001

Last year's "Voyage into Learning" Conference in Kamloops was fun and a great learning opportunity for all who attended.

Your LLC of BC Board is staging another outstanding conference this spring -- this time it'll be in Richmond in the Lower Mainland.

If you have ideas or preferences for workshops and other activities, contact us soon. Call 1-800-766-4660 anywhere in BC or (604)263-6606 in the Lower Mainland.

The conference will include a day of workshops (Saturday, June 9), preceded by a Friday evening presentation and social. Saturday evening will begin with a short Annual General Meeting, followed by a feast and celebration.

On Sunday morning everyone is invited to the meeting of the board of Laubach Literacy of British Columbia.

For those travelling from outside of the Lower mainland, we'll try to arrange car-pools and accommodations. Workshop fees will be minimal (approximately $25 plus banquet fee).
