Joining IGALA/Enjoying the Gender and Language journal

[Bonnie McElhinny]

Dear all,

Sara Mills and I have lists of all of the people who have subscribed to the
journal of GENDER AND LANGUAGE.  If you have questions about your
subscription, I suggest you contact us, rather than sending messages to
GALA-L, and we can clarify your individual situation.  Thanks to those of
you who have subscribed, and thanks for bearing with us in this period of
growth, from being merely the International Gender and Language Association,
to being an association with a conference and a journal, and complex
inter-relationships among these three.

Bonnie
