A Chairdean choire / Dear Friends,

  I am pleased to announce the forthcoming conference "Highland Settlers:
Scottish Highland Immigrants in North America", November 6-8 in Richmond,
Virginia, at the Virginia Historical Society and the University of Richmond.

  This will be the first conference held in the US to address specifically
the cultural and literary legacy of Scottish Highland immigrants in North
America, and will feature a constellation of Gaeldom's best and brightest
scholars and performers to present this exciting material to the public.

  The Gaelic Studies Program website is currently being renovated, and when
it is done (I expect by May 8), it will contain all of the relevant
information about the conference, concert, speakers, performers,
accommodation, etc.

  The registration form for attendees can be downloaded from the internet as
part of the conference brochure, which is currently on the UR website at:

www.richmond.edu/~mnewton/HighSettBrochure.pdf

  Note that this is a 600K PDF file, and that this is a low-res version of
the PDF.

  I hope that you will pass this information on to all other interested
parties.  If you would like printed copies of the brochure, please send me
your address and the number you would like.

  Tha mi an dochas gum faic mi sibh aig a' cho-labhairt!

  Is mise le meas / Yours, aye
  Michael Newton
