[Reading-hall-of-fame] Celebration

[jim hoffman]

(We posted this message to the NRC listserv but we want to put it 
here as well just in case we might miss someone who is not on that 
list and would like to participate).

This year marks the retirement of two of our esteemed colleagues: 
Alan Farstrup as Executive Director of the International Reading 
Association and Cathy Roller as Director of Research and Policy for 
the IRA. We are gathering at NRC in Albuquerque to honor these two 
individuals for the contributions they have made to the reading 
profession and to reading research. We hope you will join us in this 
celebration.

We are planning a dinner (and a few surprises) at the Doubletree 
Hotel in Albuquerque on Thursday night starting at 8:00 pm - just 
after the close of the NRC Town Meeting.

We require notice in advance of your plans to attend in order to get 
an accurate estimate of those who wish to participate. The cost of 
the dinner (and the evening) will be $50 dollars per person. We need 
to have a firm number of participants to the hotel by Nov. 10th. 
Payment can be made at the conference. We will provide receipts for 
the cost of the dinner for those of you who require them.

This event is not sponsored formally by the NRC as part of the 
program but the organization is facilitating our work with the hotel 
in making arrangements.

Please follow this link for details:

If you have further questions or would like to participate in the 
planning, please write to me or any member of the planning committee 
off of the NRC listserv.

Regards from the Planning Committee
