Sample text from the file
."Night of 1,000 Stars" is an annual celebration in May held simultaneously on the south, west and north sides of Chicago to recognize adult education achievements. These three exciting "galas" allow hardworking adult learners to shine as the "Stars of the Evening" through poetry, personal stories and music. The events were hosted by the Southside Literacy Coalition at the DeLaSalle Institute, the Westside Literacy Coalition at Allison United Foundation, and the Northside Literacy Coalition at Anixter Center. Enthusiastic and proud program coordinators, tutors, family and friends came out in great numbers at each site to show support at the event of the year. "Our students were outstanding as usual. It was an emotional and fun evening with heartwarming stories delivered by adult learners. Secretary of State Jesse White, seated in the midst of coordinators, tutors and family members, was visibly moved by the presentations of the evening's stars. It was our best one yet." Joanne Jones,
