Bailey and me on Whitecap |
After morning work, we took a quick hike up Whitecap to the Black/White Trail connection. We got back in time to set up for Guido's birthday and to trek him to several places to buy a birthday present for his friend, Tay (Brazilian exchange student).
On Wednesday, I conferred with the National Writing Project's executive director, Elyse Eidman-Aadahl, and Tanya Baker, director of National Programs for NWP. Our discussion focused on my work with the Secondary School Writing Centers Association and why the two organizations should be affiliated. Our second discussion focused my Writing Athletes' work, and the thought of further developing our relationship especially with respect to securing grants. Elyse called this deeper affiliation a "legacy project," i.e., honoring and deepening my work with the help of NWP.
