Hello everyone,

Every year the NSN (National Storytelling Network) hosts their annual 
conference in a different city. The 2003 conference will be in Chicago! I 
have cut and pasted the flier below but if anyone would like to recieve the 
prettier version as an attachment I will be glad to send it off list. Just 
give me a shout.

SPEAK SO OTHERS MAY LEARN; LISTEN SO OTHERS MAY TEACH
Stories empower teachers to teach, attorneys to clinch a point, and ministers 
to speak to the soul.  Stories allow librarians to engage their communities, 
boardrooms to excite their clients, and therapists to facilitate healing.  
Stories inspire families to pass on  traditions, authors to capture a 
following, and journalists to connect humanity.

I know this is a puppetry listserv but many storyteller's use puppets in 
their work so I thought there might be some interest. 

warm wishes,
Karen Chace
