Sign Writing Linguistic Society

Thu Apr 24 14:21:53 UTC 2008

Well this is Charles Butler

We have the following people who have expressed interest:

KJ Boal - kjoanne403 at hotmail.com
Adam - icemandeaf at gmail.com
Kim from Boston - skifoot at gmail.com
Ronald Detloff - signpreach at sbcglobal,net

That's 4 people.  Until I hear from 8 people who are willing to trek to the Washington, DC area, I am hesitant to start doing anything but research on costs.  

When I have 8 people who commit themselves, then we can put out publicity, find a date, and work toward that end.  The hope is a Friday night, all day Saturday, Sunday morning seminar focused on Sign Writing and its use in Linguistics, Literature, and Literacy (three Ls).  How's that work?  

This will require financial commitment, willingness to regularly meet on line, pass along messages to the list, and ensure that we have the wherewithal and the participation to make it work.
