The following story was written by Lois Krajchi, from Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. Lois is enrolled in literacy classes at Program Read in Sault Ste.Marie. The story below is about the time she was in Hamilton, attending a literacy conference in June, 2004.
It was a pleasant surprise that I got picked to go to Hamilton because there was a literacy workshop. There were seven happy people going to Hamilton to this workshop. John, Betty, Marilyn, Debora, Joe, Mike, myself. Lois all flew in a jet to Hamilton. We started at the Sheridan Hotel and it was a luxury! I stayed in 1102 all by myself in a king-sized bed. The food was excellent and there was lots to eat. People were in high spirits and everyone was happy. I enjoyed all the workshops and learned a lot. Deb and I shopped every day and went to McDonalds every morning! This trip was the nicest thing that ever happened to me and it didn't even cost me a cent!
