XRosa Maria Duenas Rios (X)  \"Reporter\" Count me in. Have you decided on the venue yet?

XEddi and Juliana Powell (X)   We are still very interested..keep us posted on updates....thanks.  
Yolanda Broad  \"Photographer\" My husband, Peter, and I think we can make it: it will give us something to do on our way to or from visiting Peter's aunt and uncle. And maybe we can stop and see Monika's new home? We'll be almost neighbors: just 4 1/2 hours away!

uncertain plans Jun 3, 2004

I would love to meet everyone. I missed the Nice Powwow, and I only live 1 1/2 hours away, but I will be in Rochester NY this summer, and DC sounds great to me. Keep me posted, I will confirm as the date gets closer.

Place of meeting: National Gallery Jun 8, 2004

Dear all,
I am so excited to meet all of you next month. I know we still have time, (a little over a month), but it would be nice to decide for the time when we will meet. What do you think about the time? Will Noon be OK, or would you rather meet a little bit later? Please send your suggestions.

Very uncertain plans Jun 9, 2004

Please, don't count on me yet, I am still hoping to come, but it looks very unlikely since my husband will be going back to France the day before, flying out from Toronto...not really a neighboring city, is it!

The National Gallery Jun 28, 2004

Hi Monica and all of you!
Just a note to mention that, since the National Gallery is rather large, I believe we should get a more specific point of encounter. Maybe in front of the glass triangles that are between the old and the new building, and from there we can decide where inside the Gallery we want to meet.
This is just a suggestion. Let's see what the others think. REgards Rosi

So what will we do? Jun 28, 2004

I'm in school to get my masters and my goal is to be an interpreter after I finish. Is this something that would be beneficial for me to attend?

Definitely it will help you.
I think the powwow will help you to learn more about other people’s experience, get contacts etc. I always learn from other interpreters/translators who are more experienced then me. Overall, come for a relaxing and fun time, make friends, and learn something new. (I always do!)
Also, I noticed from your profile that you are not VID-ed yet (VID=Verified Identity). I or some other Moderators who will be there will be happy to do an Identity Verification f... See more
