International Translation Day
at Word on the Street
August 29 , 2002

This year ATINS will celebrate International Translation Day in conjunction with Word on the Street. On Sunday, Sept. 29, between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. we will be sharing a table in the Village at Pier 20 with the Editors’ Association of Canada (EAC).

This is your chance to take part in the very first of what we hope will become an annual event for ATINS. We would like to schedule people to work in pairs for one-hour shifts at the ATINS booth. So please sign up for a shift: get to know a colleague better, meet some editors, and then explore the rest of the Word on the Street festival.

Our presence at WOTS is an excellent opportunity to promote ourselves and our Association. Copies of the ATINS directory and brochure will be available at the booth. We invite individual members to add their business cards to the display by mailing them to: ATINS, P.O. Box 372, Halifax, N.S. B3J 2P8.

Also at the booth, there will be copies of Circuit magazine and a poster announcing that we are celebrating International Translation Day. Other suggestions for our 4`of tabletop are welcome.

To volunteer for a shift or to suggest other materials for the display, phone Colleen Heenan at 425-8242 or send an e-mail to: Colleen.Heenan@ns.sympatico.ca.
