Dear Colleagues

PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CIRCULATE THIS EMAIL TO COLLEAGUES

It has been some time since the last WASLI Newsletter. We apologise for this. But we now bring you 6 newsletters of the last news and happenings around the world.

From 2009 WASLI Board Member, George Major, will be collating the WASLI newsletters. If you have any news, articles or information that you would like to include in a newsletter, please send this to George at austoceania@wasli.org

The WASLI Calendar of Events has been updated and you can see this by click on this link http://www.wasli.org/Calendar.htm

If you have any sign language interpreting or related events you would like to add to the Calendar please send the details to the WASLI Secretary at secretary@wasli.org

You can also view an introductory video of the WASLI Vice President, Juan Druetta of Argentina - click on http://www.wasli.org/WordFromTheVicePresident.htm

Some volunteers have kindly agreed to translate the newsletters into Spanish and French. Once the translations are received, they will be uploaded to the website and an email will be sent out.
