I. WAFLT Conference Summary

I think it goes without saying that the WAFLT

conference was a success! We had a well-attended

AATSP meeting Friday evening, in which the results of

the elections were announced as well as the many

upcoming AATSP events. Our Saturday luncheon was

enjoyable, with a lively presentation from the

Bailadores del Sol. One last plug for Ricardo - if

you would like to buy postcards to send to colleagues,

friends, students, etc., he still has more available.

(cheetah101@earthlink.net) There were many useful

sessions for Spanish teachers during the conference.

II. ELECTION RESULTS:

Congratulations to the following winners, and thanks

to all of you who voted! Those newly elected will

start their terms in January. Also, a big thanks to

those who served in the past!
