Here is a note regarding signing up for ACTR membership:

Dear Chairs, Hope you enjoyed a restful summer and are greeted by energetic students ready to tackle another year of the Russian language. We (George and I) will be sending you brief reminders over the next few weeks pertaining to procedural changes for the 2011 Olympiada of Spoken Russian. For now, would simply like to request that you send out a "gentle reminder" that everyone who enrolls a student in any Olympiada must be a current ACTR member in order to have their students participate in the 2011 competition. Teachers (as well as tutors, parents, or other adult chaperones--if the Chair is willing to accept their students) can update membership for 2011 on line at: www.membership.actr.org Participants must be currently studying Russian and nobody may register students who are not enrolled in Russian, if the school they attend has a Russian program. Do not hesitate to forward any questions, if anything is not clear. Happy School Year!!! Halina
