It has already
helped me assist
 borrowers with
questions about
the Internet and

     offering.

whole process as a

 the staff could do
this, so could I as a
  representative of
the over-60 crowd!

The most eye-
 opening part of
 Learning 2.0 for

Thank for increasing

I want to thank all
those who made this
Learning experience
       possible.
 I hope I get to talk to
you personally to tell
  you how exciting it
was to go through the

Overall I thought this
  was a crazy good
program, really easy,
 and really made me
        think.

It helps to have nice
