[Youth-outreach] Hello

[Al Spooner]

Hi Angela,

Nice meeting you.
Yes, I do work at BLIND, Incorporated!
I just read those articles about BLIND Incorporated last night, and I was
very pleased with the articles.  It was a real pleasure having Barbara, Dan,
and Sylvia visit us.

This ELL program is relatively new, and we are experiencing tremendous
success too.  We now currently have 4 students that are now enrolled in our
adult comprehensive program, because of this E LL program.  They are
continuing the ELL classes along with taking all of our other classes.  We
also have two more that are just in the ELL class, two more are starting
next week, and we are receiving many more inquiries!  In the manner that
this ELL Program is structured, we can work with a blind person speaking any
language.
Only time will tell where it goes from here!

Hello, Al. My name is Angela Fowler, and I am a student in community college
in northern California, just north of Sacramento.
	So, you work at Blind Inc? I just read the stuff in the monitor. I
was especially intrigued by the program which instructs people in English. I
wish the Colorado Center had something like that. Denver has a high
Spanish-speaking population, and you'd have to think that there are a lot of
blind folks who don't speak English. Must be very lonely for them.
