"The Chamber's newsletter inserts make things happen! The inserts have provided Literacy Volunteers with a vehicle to advertise our annual "Literacy Run" as we recruit runners,and recognize our sponsors. As we solicit our sponsors, we tell them they'll be listed in our Chamber newsletter insert which adds value to their sponsorship. We also have successfully used the insert to recruit volunteers and make more people aware of our programs. Each time we do an insert in theChamber newsletter, we experience and increase in telephone calls requesting information and/or wanting to volunteer."

— Barb Wyman, Executive Director, Literacy Volunteers of Rensselaer County
