Re: Active Writing Center

Hi, I am sorry I am just now answering your request.  I am on vacation 
all of June and July so have not been reading my email. I would love to 
be a part of the NCTE booth so count me in if I am not too late. I plan 
on being at NCTE all three of those days-Nov. 21,22, and 23 so I am open 
to any time you schedule me. Thanks. I will be back at my desk answering 
my mail on a regular basis on July 30.
