As of this week, July 1, 2004 - here is the latest AvCon update.
We may have another speaker in RH Thomson; if that goes through, I'll let you all know.
Sarah Polley and Zach Bennett have declined. Lally Cadeau has also declined (she'll be busy at the Stratford Festival this year) but asked us to keep her in mind for next year. Gema, Cedric Smith and Mag Ruffman (!) have not responded to our invitation (even though the latter seemed to express interest, she still hasn't given us an answer, and we were supposed to have one months ago). Sadly, we don't have contact info for Joel Blake (Andrew) or Kay Tremblay (Aunt Eliza).
We did recently hear from Jackie Burroughs, who informed us that she
wouldn't speak; but if her schedule allows, she would like to come by
and
meet with everyone. :) ... and possibly see if Mag
Ruffman will also attend
Financial
