Dear all, I just want to say a great big THANK YOU to the Jerusalem ETAI convening committee for a job very WELL DONE !! I know exactly how much work these VOLUNTEERS put in to get a conference off the ground and it's an enormous amount of work and there is lots of worrying which goes on .. The conference drew in a lot of teachers who I am sure gained and benefited from the myriad of sessions and plenaries. (and a very nice venue !!) . I would also like to thank the British Council for it's wonderful pre-conference day and it's unflagging support of ETAI . I hope that everyone who couldn't come this year will try to put aside some time next year to join us at the mini conferences around the country and the full day Winter and Spring conferences.. Furthermore I hope more teachers will join ETAI and take an active part in helping us ( ENGLISH teachers) take the organization into the 21st century !! AND last.. a huge thank you to Mitzi Geffen who worked tirelessly as the Chair of ETAI and Good Luck to MIchele Ben who has taken over this important ''job''. Come on .. JOIN us and make ETAI even bigger and better.. Enjoy the summer vacation.. and don't forget to check out all the wonderful sites you can use in class next year . ( it's a great time to surf the net and learn .. ) Again.. hats off to the committee in Jerusalem.. and get some well deserved rest .. Aviva *"Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense." - ** -- **Ralph Waldo Emerson** * *Aviva Shapiro- 052-4501830* ************************************** ** Etni homepage - http://www.etni.org ** post to list - etni@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** help - ask@xxxxxxxx ** David Lloyd: ETNI founder & manager http://david.greenlloyd.com ***************************************
