The International Language Institute’s students, staff and board thank our many friends for their outstanding support of the school’s free English classes for area refugees and immigrants.
These classes change lives for the better, and we are grateful for the contributions of more than 200 longtime and new supporters and 32 business sponsors who participated in our annual Giving Voice benefit at Hotel Northampton on April 27.
Your generosity – more than $40,000 in all – ensures the viability of the free English classes over the next year. Thank you, Northampton, Pioneer Valley and supporters from Vermont and New Hampshire!
