SignWriting List
June 30, 2004

Dear SW List and Joel!
Thank you for the message below, Joel. Nice to meet you. My name is
Valerie Sutton, and I am the second-owner of the SignWriting
List...well....I moderate the SignWriting List anyway!

And thanks for making it possible for us to continue the SignWriting
List at Valencia Community College! Our List is an active List during
the school year, and is the hub of our small, but enthusiastic
SignWriting Community...The SignWriting List has members from 27
countries...educators, researchers, parents and Deaf people who write
their respective signed languages...

It is almost July, and I am going to make a very rare announcement. I
am going to take most of July to relax, and not be too busy on the SW
List...in fact, although I will be puttering around my office, working
on the IMWA, I would really like to work behind the scenes and not
worry about managing the List right now. Our List is seven years old
and we never shut down, but since so many Lists have just been moved to
Valencia Community College...at least four that I know of ....the
technicians must be exhausted and it might be nice for them to also
have a relaxed transition...

So no stress Joel and Paul - a big THANK YOU! And I am going out in the
sunshine and kicking up my heels - dancing on the beach! I only wish
you could join me...grin....

And SW List Members...post if you will, but don't be surprised if it
takes awhile to get responses...most of us will be on a partial
vacation...Feel free to write to me privately anytime -
Sutton at SignWriting.org...I always love hearing from you...

August is going to be a VERY busy month...the school year starts again
here in the US, and we may have some new SignWriting software ready to
be tested this Fall...so in August we are going to have to hold onto
our hats!!! ;-))

Have a splendid July everyone!

Val ;-)
