<div>Dear Society for Linguistic Anthropology Members,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Well, folks, its almost time for most of us to be making our annual pilgrimage to the AAA meetings. Deadlines are approaching—November 11 for Hotels, airlines, etc. I wanted to take the opportunity to contact you to alert you to two things to take in
consideration as you make plans for your brief but intense sojourn in DC. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The first item is the comparative lateness of the SLA Business meeting. Because we needed to avoid conflicts with AAA and other Sectional events, we have been scheduled for a Business meeting that will begin Saturday, December 6, at 8:30PM to be followed
by our catered cash bar at around 10:00P and running through about 11:30P. As you probably already know, the preliminary program is available and provides us with information about the many events that will be happening. I am attaching a pdf for the SLA
events that are scheduled from Wednesday through Sunday, Dec. 3-7.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The second item is an invitation to you, and members of all AAA sections, from APLA, to attend the events listed below. </div>
<div><span style="font-family: CourierNewPSMT; font-size: 12px;">Dear Colleagues,</span><br style="font-family: CourierNewPSMT; font-size: 12px;">
