Season's Greetings!

This week nearly 100 students successfully completed our 10-week Fall semester of ESOL courses. Well done! And thank you to our teachers who made it possible; they provided a combined 200+ hours of English language instruction. We look forward to seeing you all next semester.

Congrats to LVGW's three newest tutors who recently completed their 18-hour training: Joy, James and Sanika. Our students can't wait to meet you!

We're especially grateful to both the United Way and Greater Worcester Community Foundation for their support. We recently received two very generous awards from them. This funding makes all the great work we do together possible: it trains tutors, it pays teachers and it keeps English education entirely free for our students.

It was great to see many of you at our annual meeting in October. We would like to invite you to join us again at our international holiday potluck later this month (details below). We can't wait to celebrate with you!

Wishing you a happy and healthy new year.

Ping,
