update on child care for AAASS national convention in Philadelphia

[Anne Eakin Moss]

Dear colleagues,

Thank you to all those who have expressed interest in and support of  
the AAASS Parent Child Care Co-op. We are excited to announce that we  
are finalizing arrangements with KiddieCorp, a major convention child  
care provider, to offer full-time child care services at the 2008  
AAASS National Convention in Philadelphia. They are very  
professional, completely insured, and have excellent references.

Once we have all the final details ironed out, parents attending the  
AAASS convention will be able to register on-line for however many  
hours and days of care they need during the convention. The deadline  
to register will be about 6 weeks before the convention. I don't have  
all the details on the rates yet -- stay tuned.

As we finalize the arrangements, I turn to interested parents again  
to ask about your plans. If you have not yet been in touch with  
myself or Elissa about child care at the convention, it's certainly  
not too late. Please respond to this email to put yourself on our  
mailing list. Let me know how many children you might enroll in the  
child care program this year. I also need to know how many parents  
might want care for the Thursday evening opening reception (until  
around 8) and/or the Saturday evening awards ceremony. Please note,  
however, that adding the evening care may increase the overall cost  
of the program, so we'll only have this if there is a large enough  
demand.

If you received another version of this email last week, you are  
already on the mailing list for the Parents Co-op. Please do bring  
this opportunity to the attention of other scholars who might not  
have noticed earlier announcements. I know how busy parent-scholars  
can get!

Thanks so much for your support.

Best,
Anne
