Greetings to members, RHF.  Below are announcements with important information about upcoming events/topics.



ILA, Boston, July, 2016--Mark your calendars!



            RHF Session - Saturday, July  9, 4:00-5:30, Sheraton Hotel, Room 104.  Six members of the Reading Hall of Fame will be presenting:   Octavio Henao Álvarez, James Baumann, Henrietta Dombey, Peter Freebody, Jerry Johns, and Robert Jimenez.   Please share this information with graduate students and other colleagues.  It's a wonderful opportunity to learn about the work of these distinguished scholars.  I  look forward to seeing you there.

            RHF Breakfast - Sunday, July 10, 7-9:00 a.m. in Convention Center, Room 102.  Join us for the induction of new members (living and deceased).  This celebration will be followed by a business meeting for members of the RHF.  Join us for this special occasion.

New inductees (deceased) include: Dale Johnson, Maryann Manning,  Jennifer Monaghan, and Robert M. Wilson.    As soon as details are available, you will be receiving a note from Tim Rasinski, our treasurer asking you whether you plan to attend the breakfast.



Alan Farstrup Memorial Scholarship.

Several members had written for information about how to contribute to a memorial scholarship for Alan Farstrup who died this past year.  His wife, Susan, sent the following to me.

The link for donations is https://makingagift.umn.edu/onlinegiving/enterOnlineGiving.do?owner=O_CEHD&desc_source=UWXX_EDHD_SITE.  Then type in Alan Farstrup Memorial Fund for Literacy Education.



DUES.

 Sometime in April, Tim Rasinski will be sending a note about a possible change in dues structure for the RHF.  This note includes a rationale for the suggested change and calls for a vote from members.  We ask you to please vote on this suggested change.



Best wishes for a wonderful Spring.  I look forward to seeing many of you in Boston.
Rita Bean, President
Reading Hall of Fame
