Bonjour mes collègues!
Bonjour mes collègues!
A special welcome to the new President of the AATF of Minnesota, Christine Lac!
Hope that all is well with all of you and that you have or will find these last days/weeks of the school year to be the most enjoyable yet!

It's also that time of year when I will need to collect information from you for my Regional Representative Report to the Executive Council. You will soon receive a form as an attachment to an email to pass that information on to me.
Just wanted to pass along a reminder that the Early Bird Registration ($250) Deadline for our AATF national convention in Austin, TX is today. But I wanted to also point out that the "Full Registration" at $350 which is still available until June 15 is a great deal because it includes the Welcome Luncheon where we sit at tables designated for our Region VI ($55) and includes the Banquet ($75) where the AATF offers the recognition that is one of the very few ways that we have to thank those who do such amazing work for our professional organization. The "Full Registration" also includes a Workshop ($30). So the Full Registration of $350 which is only $100 more than the Early Bird Registration is a great deal and is available through June 15.
Wanted to let you know that, I omitted to mention that the Journée d'Immersion referred to in my last blog should have been attributed to the AATF of Chicago/N IL. The initiative for this event in fact came from a session at the AATF convention in Baton Rouge quite a few years ago by members of the leadership of the AATF of New Jersey including president, Viviane Levy. This is a superb event in IL created for high school students but that in recent years has also included as helpers college French students, some of whom are studying French with the goal of becoming French teachers. I point this out to correct the error but also to show that the sharing of information at AATF events, small and large, is critical to the continued health and well-being of our profession and of our professional organization.
Looking forward to seeing you in Austin, TX. We generally find a way to meet informally with Region VI leaders and members during the convention for a glass of wine sometimes in the hotel lobby. Looking forward to seeing you there and getting a chance to socialize and celebrate our common commitment!
