COMMITTEESalvete Omnes,
See you all soon–10 September 2011 in Charlottesville–for the fall meeting of the academic year, though we need a catchy name: “centennial + one” doesn’t quite have a ring to it. We will have two speakers at this meeting , about whom you will read elsewhere in this newsletter. Both are new to the Classical Association of Virginia, and this highlights a new effort we have begun to spread the influence and presence of our association in the schools and colleges of the state,. The most immediate manifestation of this effort is the appointment of two new membership chairs– they will keep records of our members, coordinate communication, and expand our membership by renewing or creating contacts in public schools, private schools, colleges, and universities. The two are Patricia Lister and Janice Siegel– welcome and thanks to both. All of you can help them in their job by bringing to our meetings new colleagues, friends, relatives, ... . This is also the last newletter for our multitalented editor, Cathy Daugherty. We all know how that for many years she has been a central and crucial and collegial and indispensable player in the Classical Association of Virginia. I am at a loss for what to say, so just a collective and heartfelt thank you. nos omnes gratias maximas tibi agimus. She will certainly be a tough act to follow, but I hope that doesn’t inhibit one of our members from stepping in to carry the flag. Finally, the 2012 spring meeting will be held May 5 in Blacksburg at Virginia Tech. I hope you will all plan to come (we in the more westerly parts of the state sometimes like to feel the love, too). We have developed a thriving program in Latin, Ancient Greek, and Classical Studies and would like to show it off a bit. I know it’s a drive for some of you, but come and enjoy the New River Valley for a night or two. More on this soon. Andrew S. Becker
