Box 907 <br />San Marcos, Texas 78667-0907 <br /> <br />Dear Ms. Langenkamp: <br /> <br />Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Josefina Tobias. I <br />am writing this letter on behalf of the 40% of adults in San Marcos <br />over 25 years of age who do not have a high school education. I <br />wish to officially declare my interest in and support of the federal <br />grant for disadvantaged persons which is being applied for by the <br />San Marcos Public Library. The implentation of a long range project <br />at the library that would include: 1) training for new tutors, 2) <br />the recruitment of many more students and volunteer tutors, and 3) <br />the purchase of new materials, will unmistakably provide the needed <br />services to a significant number of adults with less than a 12th <br />grade education. <br /> <br />As the Director of the Adult Education Night School at San Marcos <br />High School, I am keenly aware of the importance and benefits which <br />will accrue from this proposed project. May I also say that the pro- <br />ject's provisions for offering a series of life skills workshops is <br />of special interest and generates particular enthusiasm. As one who <br />is in constant contact with the city's special populations, I can <br />assure you that the library has the staunch support of the community <br />in the planning of this project. <br /> <br />Finally, having been an immigrant and having gone to night school <br />(adult education) to receive my G.E.D. before entering Southwest <br />Texas State University, I have a personal reason for wanting this <br />project to succeed. I want others who are now educationally disad- <br />vantaged to have the same chance to succeed as I did. I am confident <br />that your success in securing this federal grant will be forthcoming <br />and please know that all citizens who will profit from this project <br />thank you in advance for your time, efforts, and hard work. <br /> <br />Sincerely yours, <br /> <br />J9.~a::?::e~ <br /> <br />Adult Education Night School <br />San Marcos Public Schools <br /> <br />JT/jp <br /> <br />Dedicated to Education. . .
