On October 16, we held our annual fall conference at the Bentley Hotel in Alexandria. I want to take the opportunity to thank the officers and other members of the chapter who contributed to the success of the meeting. Special recognition goes to Dr. Chip Holloway who worked hard to plan and organize the conference. We want to continue to expand our sharing session during our next fall confe-rence. They will now have the opportunity to compete at the national level.
Plans are underway for a Spanish festival for high school students.
Hopefully, we will be able to accomplish this during my tenure as president. Dr. Ruth Smith is chair of this committee. We would appreciate any ideas and contributions anyone might have toward this project. In closing, I am hoping to see as many of you as possible at our spring meeting to be held Friday afternoon, February 18 in conjunction with the Louisisana Foreign Language Teachers Association Conference in Hammond. The conference is a two-day event, both Friday and Saturday, and promises to be filled with plenty of ideas for teaching and learning.
