> Greetings, everyone, from windy New York City.

> I write with a gentle reminder about our Executive Board Meeting on
> Thursday April 3 @ 9  a.m. at CCCC in New Orleans.  Let's meet outside
> of the CBW workshop room at 9 and then find a nook or cranny close by
> conducive to serious and fruitful business.

> And now, the following items for your consideration:
>
> 1) Please RSVP for the meeting!!!!
>
> 2) Please send agenda items to Kathleen and me ASAP.
>
> 3) Please note that Barbara Gleason and Sarah Kirk are on hiatus this
> year, but are planning to join us for the 2009 meeting in San
> Francisco,  Congratulations to Sarah and her spouse Shannon Gramse on
> the birth of their daughter Frances Scout Gramse in January!
>
> 4) Please, please note the following CFP for BWe.  I've already sent
> it to the CBW list.  Would you also circulate it to other lists that

> CFP for Basic Writing Electronic Journal
> Last year CBW co-chair Kathleen Baca and I attended a dynamite session on
> Mina
> Shaunessy's legacy at CUNY, now featured in the current issue of the
> Journal of Basic Writing.  I believe it was Mary Soliday who reminded
> us that Mina Shaughnessy used to assign her colleagues to
> attend CCCC sessions related to Basic Writing so that they could
> review together important trends in the field.
>
> Kathleen and I agreed that we wanted to implement this approach for CCCC
> 2008.
> So we'd like to propose that conference attendees write a review  of
> at least one Basic Writing-related session.  We plan to publish these
> reviews in a forthcoming issue of BWe.
>
> Reviews should be 500-700 words long and should be sent to Susan Naomi
> Bernstein at sbernstein at lagcc.cuny.edu by June 15, 2008.
>
> To find a session of interest to you, please complete the following steps:
>
> --Read through the sessions in this brochure and/or the CCCC program.
>
> --Find a session that you would like to attend. We'd like to request
> that you not review your
> own presentations (wonderful as those will be!)-- but to choose
> something that is perhaps new to you or outside of your area.  This
> way we'll be able to cover a good cross section of the interesting
> work that our colleagues are doing across the country. The session you
> attend should be BW-focused or should focus on a related category,
> such as urban education, innovative pedagogy, education for social
> justice, ESL learners, learners who are differently abled, and so on.
>
> -- Please send submissions by June 15, 2008 to Susan Naomi Bernstein
> at  sbernstein at lagcc.cuny.edu .
>
> --Please feel free to email me in advance if you have questions or
> concerns or would like to suggest a session to attend.
