International Events

by Naomi Frenkel and Marlene Johnson

Having successfully auditioned for the roles of International Liaisons, it now becomes our responsibility to follow through and perform the parts competently. We follow in very grand footsteps: Carol Pendergrast not only provided information about classes and workshops, she also is knowledgeable about airline fares, reasonable rates for housing and has made invaluable contacts all over the world. Our sources of information are not yet as wide and varied, but we will do our best to continue the wonderful work that has been done.
