Dear %user.name_f%,

Thank you for your membership during the 2014-2015 year. Because you help us put the "network" in the National Network for Early Language Learning, we want to say thank you by entering everyone that renews their membership by the end of September in a drawing for either a free NNELL membership for 2016-2017 or a free ticket to the 2015 NNELL Breakfast at ACTFL in San Diego.

Here are a few highlights from the organization:

• Early language learning specialists offered their knowledge through articles in Learning Languages, our professional journal,which focused on, "Teaching for Global Competence and Developing 21st Century Leaders through Language Instruction" Vol. 20 Issue 2 (2015).
• NNELL's webinars inspired new strategies, watch for more webinars to come this fall!
  The launching of #earlylang on Twitter enabled the conversation about early language learning to continue virtually.
• NNELL continues to collaborate with other national organizations such as ACTFL and JNCL-NCLIS to advocate for early language learning and empower emerging leaders.
• Past President, Rita Oleksak, hosted another successful and well-attended NNELL Summer Institute in Glastonbury,CT.

Join us as NNELL offers more opportunities for advocacy and quality professional development during the 2015-2016 membership year. These opportunities include:

• A new webinars series.
• Join us at the 2016 NNELL Networking Breakfast in San Diego, CA during the ACTFL Convention.
• Can't make it to ACTFL? Look for networking opportunities at your local state or regional conference.
• Let us know how you are "Exploring Creativity and Innovation Through Language Learning." as we prepare the Fall/Winter (2015) Learning Languages Journal. The deadline has been extended to submit an article!
• And more to come!
