The program California Lifeline was also featured which provides discounts on basic telephone service to eligible low-income households. One attendee in San Rafael said "This was great and extremely useful! I will be sharing this info with city governments in Marin and the public as well as other organizations." A student at the PUENTE Learning Center of Los Angeles had this to say, "Thank you for taking time to come to our school to give us all the very useful information."
