Dear Colleagues, I hope that after a rewarding summer for all, I may share two updates with you. The deadline for proposing a seminar for the 2011 ACLA meeting in Vancouver, BC has been extended to *1 October*. While we have received many excellent proposals already, we invite you to consider making a submission in the following few weeks. We are also now accepting individual paper proposals. The deadline for individual submissions is *1 November*. Seminar and paper submissions may be made through our website at: http://www.acla.org/acla2011/?page_id=33 Attached to this email you will find a .pdf of the ACLA annual bulletin. It will also be posted on our website. In addition to eloquent letters from our president and the president of the ADPCL, as well as notices to honor our 2010 prize winners as well as colleagues whom we have lost, the bulletin contains important information about the Vancouver conference and about the ACLA and ADPCL sessions that will take place at the January 2011 MLA meeting in Los Angeles. Please also allow me to draw your attention to the new dues schedule, listed in the bulletin, which becomes effective on 1 November when we begin accepting 2011 memberships. The board approved a schedule with membership categories based upon income so as to reflect more accurately the diversity of professional profiles in today's world and so as to make explicit that the ACLA is trying to avoid raising dues for those members in the lower income categories. We have retained a special category for students. Please, as ever, feel warmly invited to contact us at the Secretariat in Austin. With all best wishes Dr. Elizabeth M.
