SACC SUMMER 2009 + MEANWHILE

[Jimm GoodTracks]

I for one, would vote in taking up Mark on his 2009 offer.  It is close enough that perhaps some Iowa and Otoe individuals could attend.  The Ioway of Okla. have just  been notified of their ANA grant being accepted.

MEANWHILE,
For the present Mid Am. Ling Conf. here in Lawrence this Fri-Sat,  The International Room is in the KU Student Union -- would that  be correct????
The KU website information was unclear, or I failed to observe it.
Was there any follow up interest for the Siouian list atendees to have a social and fellowship?

  Aloha all, 

  I would like to offer to host the SACC 2009 meeting in Lincoln, Nebraska in ths early summer... if another site is not available. 

  The University frequently uses the Holiday Express just north of campus on Cornhusker Highway and 11th street. It has an indoor pool and hot tub. There are several eateries within walking distance of the hotel. 

  We could meet in the seminar room I use for Omaha language classes in Oldfather Hall. It has all of the technology bells and whistles. 

  I could try to seek some internal funding to provide transport and honorariums to key Omaha, Winnebago, Northern Ponca, and Santee speakers/language leaders from the 4 reservations. 

  I could ask the Lincoln Indian Club to help organize a hand game or other evening activity. 

  Perhaps we can talk about this in Lawrence this weekend? 

  Regards 
  Uthighide
