SignWriting List
September 29, 2001
Thank you, Cecilia, for telling us about your application to the Deaf
Way II conference. Your presentation sounds great ;-)
And Charles....Cecilia just informed me that the deadline has been
extended for applying to the Deaf Way...Here is an excerpt of what
Cecilia just told me:
"I did get reply emails from Deaf Way saying that they have
been 'over loaded' with phone calls etc. They gave registration a grace
period up until Oct 4th. Proposals will be reviewed using the 'post mark'
and not the arrival dates."
So, go for it, Charles!
Val ;-)
