Schedule for the conference

Here's a copy of an email from Dottie Hall, writing for Michael Lister:

We're looking forward to this weekend. We've got a great conference in store for you.

Registration will begin at 8:30 a.m.(SDT) with the first session to begin at 9:00. (The tentative schedule is below). All sessions will take place in LL38 (the lecture hall). The editor appointments will take place in the student lab.

Come to the front entrance of the Language Arts Building at Gulf Coast Community College.

Please e-mail me back with your lunch selection: Your choice is chicken or chicken--fried or baked.

For those of you with editor appointments, they will take place during the afternoon following the luncheon. You'll receive your time slot when you sign in.

Don't forget the conference bookstore. It will have the latest and best books on writing and publishing.

... Please tell all the writers you know. They can still join us, and they won't want to miss out on such inspiring and practical presentations as the ones we've lined up this year.
