Over the past few years, wait times for U.S.
citizenship have doubled, making it difficult for some adults to establish a
career to support themselves and their families. Beyond the pandemic, many
Apopka residents and Central Floridians waiting to become a citizen are also
facing other obstacles like job stability and securing permanent residency.
Vince Scalise, a tutor at Adult
Literacy League (ALL) has shared a few tips below that are
important to remember when navigating the citizenship process.
Aside from offering Basic Education courses
and English language courses, ALL offers a course centered on citizenship and
the application process. The course is available to any adult, regardless of
their residency status, and aims to assist individuals in achieving their
citizenship status.

Most everyone could use a little hope these
days, and one nonprofit team is working year-round to bring new hope and new
beginnings to families with great need.
Begin Anew of Middle Tennessee will hold a virtual fundraiser next week to
support its mission of helping community members overcome poverty. The
organization focuses not only on the financial aspects of poverty but seeks to
lift adults and their future generations out of an impoverished system.
“We’ve always seen poverty as economic,
social and spiritual, so we address economic poverty through education
opportunity, social poverty by mentoring and building community, and spiritual
poverty by sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ,” said Heather Norvell, executive
director of Begin Anew. “With that said, I think one of the things that makes
Begin Anew so special is the community atmosphere that constantly exists.” READ MORE ➤➤

Retired educators, medical professionals,
local historians and writers were recognized at the 2020 Friends of Literacy
ceremony on Tuesday. The annual event is hosted by the Taylor
County Literacy Council and
this year, due to COVID-19 concerns, the ceremony went virtual with a
combination of in-person presentations and interactive streaming.
Joseph Greget, president of the Taylor County
Literacy Council, was the master of ceremonies for the awards presentation.
The ceremony started with the presentation
of the Friend of Literacy Awards. In August 2016 Taylor County Literacy Council
began recognizing individuals, organizations, and businesses who help promote
literacy among children and adults in Taylor County with their Friend of
Literacy Awards. This year’s recipients were retired educators Judy Mader,
Julie Scott and Susie Werner.
“I feel like I am the luckiest person in the
world,” Mader said. She recently retired from Medford Area Public Schools where
she served as a Wilson Reading teacher helping students with dyslexia improve
their reading skills.
“It has been an awesome privilege and truly
a blessing to work with the students,” Scott said upon receiving the award.
Her comments were echoed by Susie Werner who
said it was a pleasure to work with the students and staff in the school
district.
In addition, Greget recognized longtime
volunteer Karen Rusch for her service to the Literacy Council as well as
Charles Prihoda who is stepping down from the post of treasurer for the
organization.
“We couldn’t exist without your personal and
professional help,” Greget said of the honorees. READ
