The AEC Chattanooga Conference on Southern Literature is just two days
away . . . . and you can still register by calling the Arts & Education
Council at (423) 267-1218. You can register for just one day or all
three days of the conference.
I have included the conference schedule below for your reference -
Thursday's activities will be held in the Fine Arts Center at UTC, and
activities will move to the Tivoli Theatre on Fri. & Sat. There are
more than 25 distinguished Southern authors participating in the
conference, so it will be a great event. Learn more at:
