I was very curious about the African-American Mutual Assistance Network's Clara Fields Multi-cultural Literacy Program until I received an email from my very good friend Margie. Margie shared AAMAN's Press Release of their "Top-Rated Children & Families Nonprofit" standing they received from GrateNonprofits. Then I received my Coulee Parenting Magazine, and there they were again; there is no need for further curiosity. I am looking forward to joining their literacy program and felt I needed to give a positive voice to an African-American organization in our community.

As a single parent of two children, ages 3 and 4-years old, I know the importance of reading. I myself was functionally illiterate. Times are hard for me these days and I find myself not having the time to teach my kids. I placed them is so called "Daycare Preschool" and I'm very disappointed. I asked around, friends and family members, if they knew of an affordable preschool literacy programs? Five out of six said, Mrs. Adams' literacy program. I check them out on the web at: http://aaman.us/fields.html and was very impressed. I trust my friends and family so I intend to enroll both my kids in Mrs. Adams' literacy program!

Many people has contacted me and asked if I knew anything about the Clara Fields Multicultural Literacy Program; I said, well of course. You see, my daughter was one of the lucky ones that got the benefit of Mrs. Adams' teaching. They wanted my opinion because they were thinking about registering their kids. I responded, "there is nothing to think about, do it!"

As a retired teacher that raised three children, I learned that reading was the most important skill necessary to succeed. If you cannot read, you cannot write or comprehend; therefore, you cannot learn! With all of the publicity they received as recipients of the Pepsi Refresh Project Grant, I attended their CFMLP's Open House a few weeks ago to conceder placing my grandchild in their literacy program. After viewing the students and all of the innovative educational tools, plus the Executive Director's teaching methods, I decided I will register my grandchild.

My daughter's best friend attends the Clara Fields Multicultural Literacy Program. Every night that we have a sleepover, her best friend reads a new book to all of us. Honestly, I thought she was reading from memory. Then one night, she got one of my daughter's books we checked out from the library and began to read. My daughter no longer has to ask, "Mommy can I go".

I have, without hesitation, donated to AAMAN's Youth Programs since 2003. I will continue to support AAMAN, not just because of its leadership, but because of their commitment to the health, education and welfare of our Nation's youth.

I volunteer at the site far less than I would like to. However, when I do get to see the children, the development that transpired has been tremendous. This program will place the children far above their peers in the classroom. In a time when school budgets continue to shrink and teachers will be faced with growing class sizes, this sort of advantage will be invaluable. Let's face it; there will probably never be a time again when a child will be able to receive the student to teacher ratio that is provided through the Clara Fields Multicultural Literacy Program.

I have been there to see the children grow in their reading and writing abilities. Each child is at a different place. Some of the advanced children are reading books on their own. Some of our younger students are able to recognize and name letters and are at the stage where they will start writing the letters.

I would like to see the word spread about this progam, and attendance grow. Reading and writing is such a vital skill in the world today, and I know there are more children here in La Crosse who would benefit from program.

Thank you, Mrs. Adams, for your gift of time and skill to our community. I admire your knowledge of reading and education and your passion for helping young children get a sound foundation in preparation for their school years and beyond. As I watch you work with each child I can see your commitment to and love for each one. I am sure you and the Clara Fields Literacy program will make a difference in many of their lives.

This organization has had a big impact on my life. I have been working with them for about ten years, before the organization was established and continue to work with them. Kids my age need to understand just how important education is to their future. I am excited to see the growth daily and every family should be involved.

This non-profit organization is vital to the community, education and the public. With so many problems going on in the United States as it pertains to education, I believe this is the way to reach the children and educate them. Schools are closing every day and funding is being cut. We are so fortunate to have this organization and I believe I can speak for others when I say, we are eagerly waiting for this to reach other communities.
