SCLC 2007

[Marino]

Dear colleagues,

I now know the intentions of about 16 people (including myself) with regard 
to attending the 2007 Siouan/Caddoan Conference.   Eight people plan to 
attend, 4 definitely are not coming, and 4 are undecided.  A couple of the 
'maybes' say that it depends upon the dates.  Two possible dates are under 
consideration:  24-25 May and 30-31 May, with 26-29 May being the dates of 
the Canadian Linguistics Association Meeting, which is also taking place in 
Saskatoon.  Two people definitely favour the 24th and 25th.  Those dates 
seem preferable to me, because people could then stay on and attend the CLA 
if they so wish, and we could also find time while the CLA conference is 
going on to hold a Workshop, if we decide to do that.  At this point, two 
days seems ample for the number of papers that we are likely to have.  But 
there could be more.  Anyway, I would like a vote on the dates at this 
time:  24-25 or 30-31?  Please let me know if your attendance crucially 
depends upon which dates are chosen.

Also, do you want to have a Workshop?  If not, do you want to have some 
other meeting in which last year's conversation about a comparative grammar 
volume or volumes can be resumed?  Could we have both "workshop" papers (if 
there are any) and ordinary papers during the two scheduled days?

I hope soon to have a preliminary CLA program to send out (I am doing local 
arrangements - the Program Chair is somebody else).

Best,
Mary
