ARRC Conference 2010 cancelled

Hello ARRC Participants,

The Asilomar Regional Reading Conference Board would like to express to you its appreciation of your past support of and participation in our annual reading conference. Due to the terrible budget crisis schools and the state are facing, we find ourselves in the very unfortunate position of needing to cancel our March, 2010 conference. Please know that we will continue to look to the future, and plan on organizing again for the 2011 Asilomar Reading Conference.

Thank you,
ARRC Board and Staff

*******************************

The Asilomar Regional Reading Conference is an annual conference devoted to the areas of reading and language arts, providing in-service sessions of interest to educators from pre-school to middle school level. Sessions include theory, practice, administration, make-and-take, literacy, literature, etc. Authors are invited each year to present author talks as well as to autograph books for attendees. In addition to conference sessions, Asilomar tours and evening entertainment are provided. The beautiful setting enhances the educational theme of the weekend.

The conference is sponsored by the Monterey and Santa Cruz County Reading Associations and the San Benito Reading Council. If you have not become a member of your local association, please consider doing so.

Asilomar Regional Reading Conference (ARRC) is a non-profit organization affiliated with the California Reading Association, which was formed approximately 30 years ago to organize and present the annual Asilomar Regional Reading Conference. The Board consists of 16 members, five from each county (San Benito, Monterey, and Santa Cruz) and a non-voting president.
