[sw-l] First European SignWriting Conference ;-))

[Valerie Sutton]

SignWriting List
February 21, 2005

Dear Ingvild, Stefan, Kathleen and Shane!
This is excellent news. The First European SignWriting Conference
should have its own web page, and I will be happy to supply it, if you
give me the details...such as hotels, the exact place to come when you
arrive to attend, etc...or perhaps you want to create your own web
pages on your own server, and then I can link to it from our
SignWriting site...

Here is the information Shane posted a while back...is this accurate?
