ELN Mixer June 8, 2010

Gentle Reader, 
On June 8, 2010 The San Francisco Early Literacy Network hosted our first mixer in order to showcase our partnerships and build new relationships. We met at the beautifully renovated Potrero Branch Library and were fortunate to have Luis Herrera, San Francisco City Librarian; Margaret Brodkin, Director of New Day for Learning Initiative; Mardi Lucich, DCYF Citywide Child Care Administrator; and Lisa Lee, First 5 Training and Technical Assistance Director as honored guest speakers. We also benefited from the participation of many friends and colleagues who provide service to San Francisco Bay Area families. Below are photos of this meaningful and inspiring event. No photos of Brian, though - he took all of the shots.
All the best,
Christy Estrovitz and Brian Castagne
