 Planning Meeting in April or May – Date and Location TBA
Items for March 21, 2015
 Special program on “ASLology” – Joy and David Schultz of Foreign
Languages and Literatures at UNCW have planned an informative program
on American Sign Language. This is our opportunity to learn about the
history of sign language, classes at UNCW, current use with infants,
difficulties in signing, and basics of signing. Come with your questions!
 Fundraising Raffle to provide scholarships for 2015-2016
The Scholarship Fundraising Committee has been hard at work gathering
items for the raffle! As always there will be certificates from local business
for dinners, pizzas, haircuts, etc. Many items that have been donated for this
year are listed on the CFFLC Wiki. We ask that all members help the
committee by bringing baked goods, craft items, books, teaching tools,
plants, white elephants, etc. Seek out those unused and long-forgotten
treasures in your bookcases and closets!
Remember some of the highlights of years past: the much-coveted turtle
lamp, the rib eye steaks, the pound cakes and brownies, the heirloom
jewelry, the painted chairs, the baby quilt, the ceramics and artwork, the bag
of pecans, the nandina bushes, the Eiffel Tower (kit), the lotions and
hairspray, the banana pudding in a bag,…oh, I could go on and on!
As always, the raffle will be guaranteed to raise the money we need for
scholarships while entertaining a loudly laughing crowd! Did I mention to
bring lots of spare bills and change – or a check – no credit cards, please.
Last chance to pay YEARLY DUES: $20 ($10 for full-time students). Checks should be
made to Cape Fear Foreign Language Collaborative. We depend on your dues to help with
miscellaneous expenses and with the scholarships.
SPONSORSHIP: CFFLC is sponsored by the Department of Foreign Languages and
Literatures at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington.
SCHOLARSHIPS: Our scholarship program continues to be a success. We awarded three
scholarships to UNCW students last year and one to a graduating senior in high school for a total
of $1100. CFFLC is proud to announce that scholarships awarded since the inception of the
program in 1995 to November 2014 total $13, 325. This includes $300 given by Vista Higher
Learning in November 2014. All other funds have been raised by the members of CFFLC.
