We opened the meeting with a report on William Durden,
the student we sent to Germany as winner of the TN National German exam.
William wrote us a note of thanks and many agreed that this was a worthwhile
use of our funds.
A motion was made to designate $500 to subsidize our
chapter president attending ACTFL . The motion was approved.
Members present discussed ways to recruit new members,
get more attendees at the conference and more attendees to the business
meeting.
Plans for Frühlingsfest were discussed. Jana Engle and
Richard Apgar agreed to serve as the Frühlingsfest planning committee, which
will be responsible for preparing and running the events. Regine Schwarzmeier
volunteered Belmont University to serve as our venue. Regina will be
responsible for booking the spaces and the Frühlingsfest committee will be
responsible for planning and running the events. Date is to be determined.
It was noted that we have no chapter website. The
decision was made to send our link on the national website to our blog (newsletter).
Richard Apgar spoke about the Sewanee immersion program. The program has lost Goethe Institut
funding and Richard suggested AATG-TN might subsidize a teacher's tuition in
the amount of $900 for the two week program. The officers will discuss this.
