We recently received the Manitoba E Association application to become a NARALO ALS. Manitoba E Association has its roots in the CAP program and Telecommunities Canada which many of our NARALO members have their origins Despite the federal government cutbacks to this program the organization continues to be active and a viable group outreaching especially to the First Nations through their Summer Internship program. They are an active organization with good addition to the NARALO family of ALS's Given our outreach efforts to Canada and the US to the first nations I believe their active involvement will be a real asset to building a stronger RALO. I endorse this application. Glenn McKnight NARALO Secretariat *secretariat@naralo.org <secretariat@naralo.org>* *www.naralo.org <http://www.naralo.org>*
