Tutor Support Meeting Held in January
A cocoa and cookies tutor support meeting was held at 6:00 pm on January 25, 2011 in the VITA Training Room. Twelve tutors sat in a round-robin discussion and shared their successes and challenges. Topics discussed were spelling, cool websites to find lesson plans and material, and TABE preparation. Additionally, tutors checked out materials from the library and were given free materials that could be used with their students.

The meeting was a good opportunity for tutors to share. "I'm always impressed with the dedication that our tutors display,
and how they are always interested in getting new ideas and materials from each other," said Janel Fontenot, cocoordinator of the event.

Plans for the next tutor support meeting are ongoing, with the next meeting tentatively scheduled for May.
