Saturday, July 22
WELCOME TO LETTERFORUM 2006!

Arrival and check-in, 11–6 in Warren Hall. (After 6 pm, please register at the Letterforum Office.) Your registration packet will contain your Letterforum catalog and calendar, scheduling information, tutorial assignment (if you requested), a campus map, and your special gift, the Scribe Sampler. Every participant and guest staying on campus will receive a key card, which will be your access pass to the dorms as well as your meal pass. Please guard this card carefully, as there will be a lost card charge of $20.

Also at registration you will receive a receipt for your payments to date and an ending balance statement. (Balance may reflect additional charges for a single room, a room in the Bluestone area, a tour, or the Tuesday barbecue.) Then proceed to your dorm to unpack and relax!

Things to do after unpacking:

• Bring your unframed art to the Participants Exhibit in the Duke Art Building.
• Stop by the Peanut Gallery to pick up your conference pre-order.
• Start shopping! Visit the Trade Show (open through Tuesday), John Neal Books and Paper & Ink Arts (open through Friday) and the Peanut Gallery (open through the week).
