At a recent training meeting of the Florida Implementation Team, representatives from Intelecom shared with us the most recent statistics regarding Crossroads Cafe. Since it's inception over 13 months ago, over 33 states across the country have received training materials and videos of Crossroads Cafe. The program has also distributed over 2500 sets of materials to over 50 countries.

Intelecom will be moving forward with two new initiatives: "On Common Ground" is a new citizenship series which consists of 15 1/2 hour videos focusing primarily on the Civics and History part of the Citizenship exam. "On Common Ground" is due to launch December, 1998.

The second intiative is a follow-up to the current Crossroads Cafe program and focuses primarily on Family Literacy issues. There are a number of states collaborating on this effort. Crossroads Cafe II is due out late 1999 or early 2000.
