folklore conference in Ukraine

[Natalie O. Kononenko]

Dear Seelangers,
        I am forwarding this message from IMFE in Kiev.  This
is a preliminary schedule and the 11:30 time applies to my
talk.  Those who want the times of their talks can try
contacting IMFE directly.  The e-mail address is below.  
        I also want to let people know that we expect to mail
out hard copies of invitations to the conference early next
week.  My grad student, Anne Ingram returns from Kiev on the
18th.  I will be out of town, but I have prepared everything so
that she can post invitations early the week of July 21. Should
someone who needs an invitation fail to get one by late next
week, early the week of July 28, please contact me at
nkm at virginia.edu.

Sincerely,
Natalie Kononenko
