The goals of LIFE are lofty to say the least. This impressive drive will take place until January 1, 2000. Here, everyone involved in LIFE will have the opportunity enroll in the program while meeting local celebrities, receiving free children's books and enjoying a day of festivities. I believe combining the efforts of Holy Cross and St. Mary's University are those first steps in transforming our city and our community through the power of literacy. Father Jimmy Drennan Instrumental to the success of the LIFE program is the ability to collect the new or used children's books.
Families deserve the opportunity to increase and enhance their reading and writing skills.
As a former teacher at Holy Cross and current professor at St. Mary's University, I see LIFE as a terrific joint venture. The more sponsors involved, the greater the success of the LIFE program. Because the LIFE program directors understand that we all benefit from a society where its citizens are given a real opportunity to act as contributors rather than beneficiaries, we actively seek all those interested in contributing to the betterment of our West Side community today and the world tomorrow. I'm very happy to be involved with the LIFE Literacy Program. Combating illiteracy on the West Side is very important.
