2003 Meeting

[Carolyn Quintero]

I vote for August, on the basis that I would like to get out of OK and TX
during August heat. Plus I'd tentatively planned to be in Venezuela in July.

> Dear All,
>
> Last year at the Siouan and Caddoan languages conference (SACLC) we
> tossed around the idea of having the 2003 meeting in conjunction with
> the 2003 LSA Institute at the University of Michigan.  The Institute
> dates run from June 30 - August 8.  I am writing to see if people
> still want to do the SACLC in conjunction with the summer Institute?
> If so we need to choose a weekend for the conference (we can't have
> in Monday - Thursday).  Also the first weekend of the Institute is
> the weekend of the 4th of July, so that probably wouldn't be a good
> time and the weekend of July 18 - 20 the Committee on the Status of
> Women in Linguistics is meeting.  The possible weekend dates for the
> conference are as follows:
>
> July 4 - 6
> July 11 - 13
> July 18 - 20
> July 25 - 27
> Aug. 1 - 3
> Aug. 8 - 10
>
> In addition, could people also comment on the following:
>
> 1) We need to have an estimate of the number of participants (so we
> can reserve an appropriate size room).  I am going to estimate the
> the number of participants to be approximately 30.  Does this seem
> right?
>
> 2) What king of AV equipment will people need?
>
> 3) Do we want to have the conference advertised generally during the
Institute?
>
> 4) Do we want the conference to appear in the Institute brochure?
>
> I assume that the answers to questions 3 & 4 are' yes', but I wanted
> to check with everyone.  If people could either respond to the list
> if there is something that needs to be addressed by everyone
> (possible dates) or to me personally at <jpboyle at midway.uchicago.edu>
> about anything else, I'd appreciate it. We need to get this resolved
> in the next two or three weeks so we can get our spot reserved if we
> decide to have the conference in conjunction with the institute.

> Thanks,
