Hello Everyone!
I am looking forward to a wonderful week of learning and getting to know everyone. June 19 will be the start of an excellent chance to make new friends, enjoy a new city, and gain content knowledge for my classroom.
Can’t wait —

It should be a wonderful experience, I am local and I agree that the city is unique, exciting, and should be an enyoyable place to have fun and learn.

@ Donna, I sure hope so, maybe I should email/call someone and ask. I’m pretty sure it will be alright. Not flying Delta by any chance? 🙂

@ Donna @Dondrinea: Registration for the workshop runs from 3pm-7pm on Sunday at 33 Harry Agganis Way. If you don’t make it by 7pm, you can still pick up your room keys, but you will need to pick up your workshop materials on Monday morning.

@ Donna & Dondrinea: I am coming from Houston, and scheduled to arrive at 5:45pm. I was thinking to take a cab since my flight is coming in so close to the registration time. I definitely wouldn’t mind sharing. My contact # is: 713-459-1519.

I’d be happy to meet at airport, will arrive about 2:00, flying Delta. Sharing a cab or taking the train works for me:) Cathy and Jan I’ll give you a call upon arrival, or feel free to contact me at 208-761-7468. Jan enjoy the sites.

Hi Everyone,
Just checking about the person who left their charger in Great Barrington. Did you connect with Cathy Dargi there as she says she found it?
