• Thank you to the many dear friends and colleagues who joined NECTFL in New York City this past March for a "simply irresistible" conference chaired by Jaya Vijaysekar of Vernon CT!  

  May we invite all of you to consider submitting a proposal for the 2011 conference to be held April 2-4 at the Marriott Waterfront in Baltimore?  Information is available at http://www2.dickinson.edu/prorg/nectfl/confgifford.html. The deadline for proposals is May 31.
  
  The Baltimore experience is going to be spectacular. The hotel is user-friendly and "within two feet" of everything you'll need when sessions are over and the exhibit areas close: restaurants, the Aquarium, ethnic neighborhoods, shopping, the harbor, water taxis, Fells Point, Little Italy, etc., etc.  The Baltimore location will make it easy to offer offsite workshops in immersion schools, government agencies, and more. 

  It has never been more important to join together as a profession!
