!!!! Breaking News !!!

As you all are aware, MA ABE incurred a $1M cut to help relieve the state budget crisis.  SABES statewide has been cut $100,000.  This reduction in funds has forced CMA SABES to make some difficult decisions including the need to eliminate all refreshments at trainings.  

The most upsetting decision for us to reach was the need to cancel "Do the Write Thing" for this year.  Thank you for your past support of "Do the Write Thing" and we hope next year it will be back bigger and stronger. 

 

What is “Do the Write Thing” about?

DTWT is a SABES publication that gives adult learners a voice in their communities.

This publication has become a truly empowering and rewarding experience for all involved.

Adult learners submit writings or art work for consideration, which are of personal interest and full of life experiences.
