Thanks to all who made the 2008 Convention such a success! There are still some reports, pictures, and summaries to post, but you’ll find a lot of information below!
Reminder: the deadline for the Tar Heel News is May 23. There’s already a preliminary list of articles. Post your information in time to get it distributed to all — or e-mail to editor@aauwnc.org. (Apologies, but if there’s something in your branch newsletter that’s of general interest, please do mail it separately — or post it! — to be sure it’s considered for the state newsletter.)
