Adult Basic Education Association of British Columbia

Fax Trax newsletter

April, 2006	5476 45th Ave, Delta, BC. V4K 1L4

What started out as a 3 page fax document is ending up as a much longer newsletter.

I hope you will look through the pages to view the literacy information from NALD, the math article from Bob Nenninger, and a variety of other bits and pieces of information.

I hope to see many of you at the conference in Kamloops, and I extend my apologies to those who are unable to attend due to a conflict of three adult education events happening on the same days. Next year we will try hard to find an independent date.

We are looking towards next year and hope that one of our readers will offer to host an April conference for 2007. Please contact one of the board if you would like information on doing that.

The names of the current board members are at the end of this newsletter.

Yvonne Chard
President, ABEABC

GROUNDWORK MAGAZINE

We wish to thank Jo Dunaway for her wonderful service to the ABEABC over the past few years. Her editions of the Groundwork Magazine were always attractive, informative and accurate, and she did a lot of extra work for us voluntarily. Jo regrets that she can no longer continue with her production of our magazine.

We will discuss the future of the Groundwork Magazine at the AGM. One suggestion is that we invite different organizations to produce one edition each. That would give students in some centres an opportunity to gain some valuable experience.

We have talked about having an edition on-line only, but the board has felt strongly that they like the magazine to go out 'on paper'.

The next Groundwork (or Fax Trax) will contain Bursary recipient information from around the province. Your articles are welcome for the next edition.

Please send your articles and ideas to Nita Jacob.

Look for registration forms and further details on our website or contact your regional representative.
