SignWriting Workshop at NAD Conference 2006!

[Valerie Sutton]

Hi Stuart!
Thanks for telling us...If you learn of the date and time later,  
please inform us....Others have asked me too ;-)

I am definitely attending the NAD conference. I will write to the NAD  
to ask if I can get a table to give out free literature and free  
DVDs...with no sales...maybe they can give me a discount on the cost  
of a booth, since commercial booths cost a great deal of money...

Meanwhile, Sebolelo - can you tell us about your Deaf group in South  
Africa?

Val ;-)
