The Literacy Council of Northern Virginia would like to thank all of the students, volunteers, and supporters who attended LCNV’s Golden Reunion this past Sunday. Bringing new and old friends together, the Golden Reunion honored the accomplishments of its students and volunteers. The event was truly a success, and included many highlights!
Every year LCNV holds a student essay contest. The Literacy Council received many essays in response to this year’s student essay contest topic: Celebrating Literacy: My Celebrations, Big and Small. Anxiously, LCNV announced the Student Essay Contest Winners which included: Nasr Youssef (1st Place Basic Literacy Tutoring Student Essay); Janice dos Santos (2nd Place Basic Literacy Tutoring Student Essay); Miriam Rosas (1st Place ESOL Tutoring Student Essay); Ann Choi (2nd Place ESOL Tutoring Student Essay); Huiyan Wang (1st Place Classroom Student Essay); and Elsa Ortiz (2nd Place Classroom Student Essay). We are incredibly proud of all the winners! Many of the winners were surprised to find that LCNV proudly displayed excerpts from their essays throughout the venue. We’d like to once again, congratulate our winners!
The Council also recognized the Beverly M. Newport Memorial Fund and the Virginia Literacy Foundation for their exceptional support of our mission. Without the help of organizations such as these, LCNV would not be able to bring much needed services to individuals who need and want to learn how to read, write, speak, and understand English. We are truly thankful to the Beverly M. Newport Memorial Fund and the Virginia Literacy Foundation for their continued support.
A special event highlight included LCNV’s “Decades of Success” panel discussion. Moderated by Laurie Hayden, a teacher and tutor, the panel included: Candelario Chavez, Kerrin Epstein, Doris Gone, Maria Henriquez, Sally Jaggar, Bobby Jo Small, and Bob Stump. Here, students, teachers, and tutors came together to discuss how LCNV has changed their lives; they commented upon the surprises and challenges they faced, as well as the lessons they learned throughout their experience at LCNV.
The Golden Reunion would not have been possible without the help of the Golden Reunion Committee and the 50th Anniversary Planning Committee. The Literacy Council extends a big thank you to the Golden Reunion Committee: Audrey Lipps, Golden Reunion Committee Chair; Doris Addo; Rena Baker ; Fatima El Amrani; Ruth Hansen; Mary Hollingshead ; Sarah (Sally) Jaggar ; Karen Lezny ; Becca Lipps ; Juana Merlo ; Jessica Raines ; Bobby Joe Small; Anne Spear ; Robin Walker ; Ron Wise ; and Michael Wolff. LCNV extends another big thank you to the 50th Anniversary Planning Committee: Jan Auerbach, 50th Anniversary Events Chair; Elsa Angell; Rena Baker; Avis Black; Rebekah Bundang; Mary Hollingshead; Anne Poad; and Jean Sweeney. The Council would also like to thank Delegate Mark Keam for attending the Golden Reunion, and showing his support.
Once again, the Literacy Council thanks all of the students, volunteers, and supporters who made the Golden Reunion such a successful and memorable event!

Setara Habib: My AmeriCorps Year

I can’t believe today is my last day of my service year here at the Literacy Council of Northern Virginia. Overall, I have had much success and feel I have gained much from this experience. I have gained confidence in myself as a teacher and pride in the work I have done. I would really once again like to thank EVERYONE at the Literacy Council for being wonderful people and doing good work. I feel lucky to have been able to work with this organization for a year. As I move forward in my life, or rather South to Richmond, I can take with me all my new skills and experiences and the knowledge that I have spent one year of my life devoted to helping others. Teaching adult ESOL was such a rewarding experience. I can only hope that I find something equally as rewarding in the future. or maybe I’ll just come back some day.

Raymond Chow: Thoughts and Thanks.

I am grateful to AmeriCorps and the Literacy Council of Northern Virginia for my exciting and rewarding year as an ESL teacher. I have nothing but admiration and respect for the dedication and hard work of both the Literacy Council’s staff, volunteers, and students. I have grown as an educator and as a member of my community through the work I’ve done here.
At the class graduations this summer I told my students that they were my family. Specifically they were all my parents, only 40 years removed. They came to America for the same reasons, the same aspirations – something better for themselves and for their children. My parents were able to own their own house, their own small business, and put two children through college. And I told them this not to brag about my parents’ successes but to confirm theirs. All those great Frank Capra American dreams are possible. I am proud of every one of my students. I only hope they continue to gain knowledge and confidence as they continue to better themselves.
But if they are my parents then I am their son. And in that I have to reflect on the question of whether I have been a good one. I can only say that AmeriCorps has been a reaffirmation that I’m trying. I want to help others. I want to do good and take advantage of all the gifts I’ve been given so that I can give back to others. To that end, when I take my leave of LCNV I will be going back to law school to become a better advocate (in some fashion) of this community.
Everyone at the Literacy Council has been both dedicated and kind. Although I will not be able to teach in the coming year I have every intention of helping LCNV in its mission. I sincerely thank the Literacy Council for helping me be a better person.

Catherine Ludwig: My AmeriCorps Experience

Throughout my year with the Literacy Council of Northern Virginia I have learned so much about teaching, my students’ lives, and ultimately, about myself. The most rewarding thing has been to see my students improve, progress at LCNV, and graduate from our program. I have several students who have graduated, but have kept in touch with me about their future plans, including one who plans on taking nursing classes in the fall. I am so proud of my students, and their dedication to learning a scary and challenging language while pursuing their dreams in a new country.
The upcoming year holds many changes for me as well as my students. I will be moving to Turkey to complete a Fulbright English Teaching Assistantship. I will be teaching English at Usak University and I am grateful that my AmeriCorps year has prepared me well to take on this task. I will be taking with me a great appreciation for patience in teachers as I myself will begin learning a new language in Turkish. This year has also helped me determine my focus for graduate school, which I plan to pursue upon my return from my Fulbright. I plan on attending a graduate program in International Studies with a concentration in International Development. After hearing my students’ stories about their home countries, and learning about the various economic and social problems that exist, I now want to study ways to alleviate those problems.
I hope the new group of AmeriCorps will have an equally transformative year of service and that they will continue to have a profound impact on our students. I plan on returning after my year in Turkey to volunteer with the ESOL classes again – I’m sure my students will hold me to it. Hopefully I will be able to volunteer teach at Lincolnia next summer and into the school year so I can continue to play a role in the betterment of our students’ lives.

The Literacy Council of Northern Virginia is hosting its Golden Reunion this Sunday! This is a great opportunity to reconnect with old and new friends, and hear about the impact the Council has had on the lives of both instructors and learners. LCNV will recognize students and volunteers, as well as exceptional partners who have consistently supported our mission.
This year, LCNV is proud to recognize the Beverly M. Newport Memorial Fund and the Virginia Literacy Foundation. Read on to learn how these organizations have impacted LCNV and furthered our mission.
The Beverly M. Newport Memorial Fund has played a critical role in the development and success of the Literacy Council of Northern Virginia. The organization first made a generous gift in 1999, which established the Family Learning Program; this gift was then matched by the Freddie Mac Foundation. This launched what is today one of LCNV’s most sought after adult English language classes for parents of school aged children. The Student Scholarship and Advancement Fund, a restricted account to support exclusively those learners who cannot afford classroom, tutoring or book fees, was made possible by the support of the Beverly M. Newport Memorial Fund, as well as personal contributions from Bill Newport. Operating like a university financial aid fund, this fund provides about 37% of adults financial assistance to LCNV’s programs.
It is evidenced in its history that the Virginia Literacy Foundation believes in partnerships and collaboration. It has long been a partner with the Literacy Council of Northern Virginia for over fifteen years, contributing more than $100,000 to support literacy and language education. In addition, the Foundation provides ongoing support in program improvement, technology and professional development through special grants, training workshops, and the annual Virginia Literacy Leadership Conference. The Literacy Council of Northern Virginia is an active participant in all of their programs.
Come to the LCNV’s Golden Reunion and join us in honoring students, volunteers, and our exceptional partners. Event Details follow:

The Literacy Council of Northern Virginia is kicking off its 50th year with its Golden Reunion! The theme for the 2012 Golden Reunion is Celebrating Literacy: My Celebrations, Big and Small. Jeannie Baliles will be LCNV’s guest speaker.
Jeannie McPherson Patterson Baliles can be recognized for many contributions, but for anyone associated with adult education and literacy, Jeannie is our hero. Jeannie’s major effort when she became Virginia’s First Lady in 1986 was fighting illiteracy in the Commonwealth, and she has been fighting for adult education every since. Her real passion is for the community-based literacy organizations, like the Literacy Council of Northern Virginia, because of their efforts to reach and teach those adults at the lowest literacy levels, but she also believes strongly in partnerships and collaborations. She established the Virginia Literacy Foundation in 1986, an organization that provides financial and technical support to literacy organizations throughout Virginia, working collaboratively with Virginia’s Office of Adult Education. This effective partnership has strengthened adult education services and promoted a continuum of adult education model from very basic literacy and language education to GED success. Jeannie continues to serve as the organization’s Chair of the Board, and is initiating new projects in Family Literacy, Workplace Skills Development, and Technology in Education. As the field of adult education and literacy has grown and changed, so has the support and training of the Virginia Literacy Foundation under the visionary leadership of Jeannie Baliles. We are so grateful to have her at the helm.
Jeannie Baliles was born in North Carolina and raised near Baltimore. She took her undergraduate and graduate degrees in history from Washington College and Wesleyan University. She started her professional career as a history teacher and taught until she became a mother. She has two grown children, Laura and Jonathan.
LCNV will also hold a panel discussion with current and former teachers, tutors, and students. Come and reconnect with old friends and hear about the impact the Council has had on the lives of both instructors and learners. Learn how the Council has evolved to support the changing needs of the community. Event details follow:
