USA SW Symposium in DC

[Charles Butler]

I want to talk about one in South America soon.  Having a symposium in the States is about the best way you can talk about it.

Hello Machado, Charles, Shane and everyone!

Yes...exactly. Machado is correct...it is harder and harder for 
people to travel today, with so many restrictions, and that is why it 
is so great to have a SW Symposium in different countries, for the 
people who live in that country...

We have already held a successful SW Symposium in Europe last summer, 
thanks to Shane, Kathleen, Sara, Ingvild and so many others, and 
another one this Autumn possibly in London...

...and now Charles, I hope you can direct the organizing committee to 
hold one in the United States..the first one for United States people!

I am afraid to say the word Americans, for fear we will comfuse 
others living on the American continents, so we are United-Statians! 
or USAers...smile... or ASL writers ;-))

And I hope someday you can have a Symposium in Brazil and Latin 
America someday too, Machado...that would be great too...

Regarding helping us, Machado, I am really touched by your ongoing 
generosity...THANK YOU for your beautiful SVG symbols...they are 
lovely...may I write to you privately about some details regarding 
the symbols? If you wish to help us further I know exactly what we 
could use...if you could help us place some of our new symbols in 
your SVG style, so we have the full IMWA in your SVG 
calligraphy...that would be an enormous gift which will be used for 
generations to come, in several computer programs...quite soon 
too...so let's Skype or talk by phone in a few days?

Val ;-)
