X-Listprocessor-Version: 6.0c -- ListProcessor by Anastasios Kotsikonas Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Content-Type: text/plain; Status: O Content-Length: 2092 Lines: 48 I'd like to repeat the plug for the ProLiteracy Conference, mainly because the focus in ESL is usually on TESOL and state TESOL organizations. ProLit is the national organization for volunteer- and community-based organizations, and has featured many workshops on ESL topics in the past. This year's ProLit Conference is in November in Washington D.C. In line with the plug for conferences that also target volunteer- and community-based organizations and teachers, I'll mention my organization's Annual State Conference. California Literacy is hosting our 38th Annual State Conference in Pasadena from October 1-4, 2003. We have over 70 workshops each year, including 15-20 specifically targetted to ESL professionals.

ProLiteracy is the organization that was formed with the merger of Literacy Volunteers of America and Laubach Literacy. I don't know much about the 2003 conference, but I know that the 2002 conference was held in San Diego, CA in May. You could probably find out more information about the upcoming yearly conference on the ProLiteracy website at www.proliteracy.org. Hope that helps!! Amanda Wendt, Oshkosh, WI
