In an effort to be helpful, as NIFL-Family list moderator, I would like to
share with you an internal communication the staff at NCFL received a few
days prior to the GOP Convention from Sharon Darling.  See message below.

Subject: Speaking at the Republican National Convention
Importance: High


The Republican National Convention has asked that I speak at the upcoming
convention in Philadelphia. This is a tremendous opportunity to draw
attention to family literacy among a vast audience.  I will speak on Monday,
July 31 (Opening Night) at approximately 9:45 p.m. Other scheduled speakers
that night include teachers, students, General Colin Powell and Laura Bush,
First Lady of Texas.

I have exercised every caution in deciding to make this speech and did so
with the advisement of the NCFL Board of Directors. It is very important for
the organization and other interested parties to understand that I will make
this presentation as an individual advocate for family literacy, not as
President of NCFL. Furthermore, the organization’s resources will not be
used to make this opportunity possible. These distinctions ensure that I am
within the acceptable boundaries as defined by the IRS. I have extended an
offer to make the same presentation on family literacy at the Democratic
National Convention.
