Hi, Martha, Cornelia, and other P-NW-ers:
I am really excited to be coming out the the Pacific Northwest for the
first time in my life!
For those of us who have a day before the meeting and/or a day after the
meeting to do some sightseeing, could you make recommendations? Would it
be best to stay in Salem, or to travel westward or northward? And what
sights would be within a reasonable distance to see?
Thanks--
Linda

Subject: ATEG Summer Conference
Dear Fellow ATEGers and friends,
Please check out ATEG.org for information about our summer conference.
We're meeting in July at Willamette University in Salem, Oregon (just
down the road from my hometown of Silverton), in conjunction with the
Oregon Writers Conference: July 11-12. (The minicourse meets July
9-10.)
Amy Benjamin, our President, tells me that we have a splendid program
planned. Our keynoter this summer is our journal editor, Tim Hadley,
who will have some really important information for us. Here's his
title: "Seeing Grammar With New Eyes: New Insight and Expanded Vision
About How Grammar and Writing Instruction Converge."
Salem is a lovely drive of 50 miles or so from the Portland airport--but
there are also flights into Salem if you don't have a car. Oregon is a
lovely spot to visit in July. And our conference is a very special kind
of conference--where we all get to meet one another and hear all the
papers. You'll not find a friendlier get-together. And I guarantee
you'll go back to your school with renewed energy.
Please put ATEG on your calendar.
Martha
