DARE Newsletters



If you are one of DARE's eighty-plus fieldworkers from the 1965-70 period, or one of the people who helped in DARE's home office or on the reading project, please get in touch with us.  We'd love to have you add to our Fieldworker Reminiscences in the newsletter, or update us on what you have been doing.  Thanks!
