Thanks for the comments, Mary Alice. We don't have the date set yet - got
to check the Librarian's calendar and the availability of space here. It's
the Library's bicentennial and space is at a premium.
But - we are looking at the last two weeks in July. The application will
be on the website the first/second week in January, with a due date
sometime around the beginning of March. Remember, it's not engraved even
in sand yet, but these are our target timeframes.
Thanks for the input on the orientation. It will be put to good use.
Judy
ps- bonne chance, buena suerte, bona fortuna, (sorry, I don't know the
German for good luck but the thought's there! Hope all goes well with the
lesson.)
