7
00:00:17.160 --> 00:00:20.440
<v Speaker 1>Molly from Reach Literacy. Hello, Molly, how are you hi?

8
00:00:20.600 --> 00:00:21.760
<v Speaker 2>Good morning, how are you doing.

9
00:00:21.920 --> 00:00:24.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm fabulous and I'm excited to chat about brew ha.

10
00:00:24.879 --> 00:00:26.640
<v Speaker 1>And we were just kind of talking about the origin

11
00:00:26.679 --> 00:00:28.920
<v Speaker 1>of this. Originally was a comedy thing, which is kind

12
00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:31.399
<v Speaker 1>of fun, and it's morphed into just a beautiful night

13
00:00:31.480 --> 00:00:33.640
<v Speaker 1>where you get to listen to people speak about different

14
00:00:33.679 --> 00:00:35.640
<v Speaker 1>things and it's sneaking right up. When is this?

15
00:00:35.880 --> 00:00:39.200
<v Speaker 2>That's right October ninth, from five thirty to eight thirty,

16
00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:40.320
<v Speaker 2>and we've.

17
00:00:40.119 --> 00:00:43.719
<v Speaker 1>Got Becky Blue and Patrick Hicks and Pearl Leeferman and

18
00:00:43.799 --> 00:00:47.359
<v Speaker 1>Jim Wooster are the speakers this year, and each one

19
00:00:47.399 --> 00:00:49.840
<v Speaker 1>of them talking about different things. But it's always, like

20
00:00:49.840 --> 00:00:51.159
<v Speaker 1>I said, i've been to this event, it's always a

21
00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:53.679
<v Speaker 1>neat event. I was just telling Molly that the first

22
00:00:53.759 --> 00:00:55.240
<v Speaker 1>year I went, I thought it was a comedy event

23
00:00:55.240 --> 00:00:56.640
<v Speaker 1>and we got there and I was like, oh, this

24
00:00:56.679 --> 00:01:00.280
<v Speaker 1>is not comedy at all. So but it's still fun

25
00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:02.079
<v Speaker 1>event and it's a great event. And it's for a

26
00:01:02.119 --> 00:01:03.280
<v Speaker 1>good reason too, isn't it.

27
00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:06.599
<v Speaker 2>That's right. Yes, So this is a fundraiser, our big

28
00:01:06.599 --> 00:01:10.920
<v Speaker 2>fundraiser for the year for Reach Literacy, and it's just

29
00:01:10.959 --> 00:01:13.959
<v Speaker 2>a great way to get everybody together and share what

30
00:01:13.959 --> 00:01:16.480
<v Speaker 2>we've been doing. We're going to have learners there who

31
00:01:16.519 --> 00:01:19.799
<v Speaker 2>we teach in our different programs in Sioux Falls, and

32
00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:22.439
<v Speaker 2>they're going to share their stories as well among the

33
00:01:22.519 --> 00:01:24.879
<v Speaker 2>other fabulous speakers that you named. Nice.

34
00:01:25.159 --> 00:01:28.159
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and this is an opportunity for anybody who wants

35
00:01:28.200 --> 00:01:30.000
<v Speaker 1>to contribute to come out, be a part of it,

36
00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:33.079
<v Speaker 1>have a little bit of fun, enjoy some camaraderie with

37
00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:36.359
<v Speaker 1>other people, and probably walk away learning a little something

38
00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:37.000
<v Speaker 1>about something.

39
00:01:37.159 --> 00:01:41.799
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, And we have local beer. We have some fabulous wine,

40
00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:45.719
<v Speaker 2>handwritten wines, and we are having Nickis Taco Bar.

41
00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:46.799
<v Speaker 1>So nice.

42
00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:50.359
<v Speaker 2>If you like Nikki's, you like local brews, you like

43
00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:53.359
<v Speaker 2>just hanging out with friends and hearing some fabulous stories

00:01:53.359 --> 00:01:55.640
<v Speaker 2>by local writers. Nice. It's a good event.

45
00:01:55.760 --> 00:01:57.959
<v Speaker 1>And I love the brew part of brew Haha. Are

00:02:27.879 --> 00:02:29.719
<v Speaker 1>it sounds like it's a long way away when you're

58
00:02:29.719 --> 00:02:31.960
<v Speaker 1>talking about this event. You know it's in October. It's like, wait,

66
00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:46.800
<v Speaker 1>support this because again it's a fundraiser. It's hard to

67
00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:48.960
<v Speaker 1>raise funds if you don't have funds to you know,

68
00:02:49.039 --> 00:02:51.639
<v Speaker 1>seed this event and get the thing going. So a

69
00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:54.000
<v Speaker 1>big thank in all the sponsors, but also to everybody

72
00:02:58.800 --> 00:03:00.639
<v Speaker 1>the past, but let's remind people what you guys do,

73
00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:01.919
<v Speaker 1>because I think this is really neat.

74
00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:07.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, thank you. So Reach Literacy empowers adults through literacy education.

75
00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:09.840
<v Speaker 2>What that means is we go out into the community

76
00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:13.879
<v Speaker 2>and we offer classes for free for English language learners.

77
00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:17.199
<v Speaker 2>A lot of those folks are immigrants and refugees, but

78
00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:19.960
<v Speaker 2>we also offer classes for folks who are a native

79
00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:23.840
<v Speaker 2>English speakers but they experience low reading levels because of

80
00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:29.080
<v Speaker 2>dyslexia or other barriers. So we primarily serve adults and

81
00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:30.680
<v Speaker 2>all of our programs are free.

82
00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:34.199

83
00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:36.280

84
00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:38.639
<v Speaker 1>make them better and I think that's really cool. And again,

<v Speaker 1>this event is sneaking up next month. If you'd like
