Conference</title></head><body>
<div>Hi Everyone,</div>
<div><br></div>
<div><b>General Information:</b></div>
<div><br></div>
<div><x-tab> </x-tab>As has
been mentioned, the 23rd Siouan and Caddoan conference is quickly
approaching. General information can be found at our website at
<http://wings.buffalo.edu/linguistics/ss<span
></span>ila/SACCweb/SACC.htm>. Please check it out.
Abstracts are due July 3rd. The early date is so we can try and
get the information into the LSA brochure (Names, titles etc.).
Please use e-mail as I seldom get to campus in the summer and I don't
want to leave anyone out.</div>

<div><b>Lodging:</b></div>
<div><br></div>
<div><x-tab> </x-tab>We
originally had planned to use the Ramada Inn for our lodging but it
recently burned down. Our new hotel of choice is the
Clarion. We receive a discount rate of $69.00/night. (Just let
them know that you are with the LSA). I would suggest making
reservations sooner rather than latter as there is some other event
that weekend which has nothing to do with Linguistics. The toll free
number for the Clarion is: 877-533-1200. It is located at 3600
Dunkel Dr., Lansing, MI. (East Lansing is right across the
street). It is close to the university, a little under a mile
from the student center. (I'm not sure where we will be meeting
yet).</div>

</x-tab>Alternative lodging can be found on campus at the Kellogg
center, although prices range from $69.00 - $89.00. There are
also several other places on campus but the Clarion is the cheapest
lodging close by. If you are interested in other options,
please let me know.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div><b>Parasession:</b></div>
<div><br></div>
<div><x-tab> </x-tab>The
conference dates will be Friday and Saturday August 8th &
9th. There will be an informal syntax parasession on August
7th. The topic we had previously discussed is
"junction/juncture". Which means it is pretty wide
open. Nothing formal need be done for this although I would
like to know who is interested in attending and/or presenting so that
we can arrange for a space.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to
contact me.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I look forward to hearing from you and seeing you all at the
conference.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Best wishes,</div>
