October 7, 8: ICTE in Pocatello

October 8, 9: Our own fall reunion meetings and 2010 follow ups will take place Friday evening October 8 and all day Saturday October 9.  It will start on Friday evening with an ELDER CEREMONY to induct our retiring fellows, Jan Meeks and Frank Dehoney, into Elder status.  
On Saturday we have Todd Stiger coming to do work with us on technology and literacy.
We have arranged all this so it will not conflict with our partner organization's conference, ICTE, which will be in Pocatello through Friday noon.
We encourage you all to attend ICTE and then to come back to Boise for our own meetings.
We also encourage you to present at ICTE. We would love to have some of your demos featured, as well as a panel on BSWP.
