Interpreters for SignWriting Linguistics Society Conference

Tue May 20 14:34:57 UTC 2008

Hi Cherie -
I offered that the Center for Sutton Movement Writing, our non-profit  
organization, will pay for all interpreters needed for the conference,  
which includes ASL interpreters, Deaf-Blind interpreters and possibly  
international interpreters...so that way the costs are less for all  
participants...Val ;-)
