Great Opportunities to Present a Talk -- Deadline April 15, 2014 -- Get Involved in State Activities!

Thank you, Anita Ratwik, for the following:

Central States Conference (on the Teaching of Foreign Languages) i.e. CSCTFL, will be in Minneapolis March 12- 14, 2015. 
It is co-sponsored by MCTLC. CSC is one of the five regional organizations of ACTFL. CSC's web address is www.CSCTFL.org 

We especially want to have sessions for German teachers and to have good attendance by world language teachers in Minnesota. This conference includes 17 states, and we expect close to 1000 participants. All right in our own backyard!

Please consider presenting a session. The website for proposals is http://www.web-reg.com/csc-prop/
The deadline for submission is April 15, 2014.  You can even do one presentation at the MCTLC conference in October 2014 and use the same one for CSC 2015 the following March!

This conference will also require many volunteers from Minnesota. I will send out information as that time comes closer. Please consider volunteering. It is one of the best ways to get to know other language teachers and networking. Participants and presenters to CSC come from all 17 CSC members states, plus many additional states.

This year's CSC conference is in St Louis, MO, March 20-22, 2014. In preparation for CSC 2015, we are responsible for an exhibit booth at this year's conference. We need volunteers to help staff that booth. If any of you will be at CSC 2014 in St Louis, please consider helping staff that booth for a couple of hours. No need to bring anything, but a smile and energy to talk with perspective attendees who might also want information about Minneapolis and Minnesota.

If you are willing, please contact Anita Ratwik, at ratwi001@umn.edu 

Lots to think about, many opportunities.
Thank you.
