Dear AATA Members,

I look forward to seeing you next Saturday, 17 November, at the AATA

There is so much to celebrate.  There are AATA's many accomplishments
over the past 50 years and the remarkable efforts of all AATA members.
In addition, we will see the first issue of the AATA journal

Press.  And we will recognize the career of Mushira Eid, who will
receive the AATA Lifetime Achievement Award for 2012.

The events of the Celebration are as follows:
