Newly trained Tutors:
Trainees and Trainers had a good time sharing and learning at Yankton on October 5 and 6, 2010. Ten trainees spent time with three trainers from the Brookings Literacy Council. The new tutors are anxious and ready to get to work. From the viewpoint of one of the Trainers, the workshop was a lot of fun. There was a good interchange with both trainees and trainers learning from each other.

The South Dakota Literacy Council president, John Berglund and his wife Janice, manned a booth at Career Day on the campus of Black Hills State University. They had several people inquire about the work of the literacy council and the possibility of a training workshop. Our secretary Carol Rahja had been contacting the Black Hills Literacy Council to ask for certified trainers for a Trainee workshop.
