Meet Authors at the FANHS National Conference

One highlight of the FANHS national conference
is the Authors' Reception on July 22, 2010.
Plan to buy some of most recent* as well as classic favorite publications -- literary, historical, cultural studies -- by and about Filipino Americans. Join us as we celebrate with readings, food plus time for autographs and sales. Just a few of the many authors planning to be at FANHS include: Rita Cacas & Juanita Tamayo-Lott (Filipinos in Washington, DC*), Evangeline Buell (Twenty Five Chickens and a Pig for a Bride), Peter Bacho (Leaving Yesler*), Theo Gonzalves (The Day the Dancers Stayed: Performing in the Filipino/American Diaspora*), Amalia Bueno, Rebecca Mabanglo-Mayor, Oscar Penaranda, Geronimo Tagatac (Growing Up Filipino II), Enrique dela Cruz, et. al. (The Forbidden Book), FANHS Hampton Roads Chapter in VA (In Our Uncles' Words: We Fought for Freedom and In Our Aunties' Words), Allyson Tintiangco-Cubales and PEP teachers http://pepsf.org/ (Pin@y Educational Partnerships Volume II*),
Leny Strobel (Babaylan: Filipinos and the Call of the Indigenous*), Fred Cordova (Filipinos Forgotten Asian Americans), Dorothy Cordova (Filipinos in Puget Sound*), and many more.

If you'd like to be part of the FANHS Authors' Reception, please register for the conference using the form below. Contact joan.may.cordova@post.harvard.edu if you'd like to be listed in this blog. See you at FANHS in July!

Authors: Please send books to Alaska ASAP

Titania Buchholdt has just sent this reminder to all those who are planning to have books available for the FANHS Authors' Reception. If you plan to send your books to the FANHS conference,

1. The address is

[insert author's name or the person the books belong to], FANHS national conference
Attn: AIDA HAYDEN
Anchorage Hilton Hotel
500 West Third Ave
Anchorage AK 99501-2210

2. If you are sending books by mail, it is now *too late* to send via USPS Media Mail!

If you send books by First Class, allow three to six weeks for the books to arrive -- which means it is too late to send via First Class unless you are sending from the Seattle area.

If you are going to mail books ahead and you have not yet done so, you must send via Priority Mail no later than two weeks prior to the start of the conference! Yes, the USPS does advertise that Priority Mail "usually" takes two to three days. Note, this "usual" delivery time does not apply to items sent to Alaska or Hawaii!

Because it is now too late to mail books to the conference other than by Priority Mail, consider using FedEx or UPS Ground no later than this week. Delivery takes about 7 to 10 days from the West Coast. Check with your local FedEx or UPS office for the delivery time range from your location.

Hope this clarifies the situation!

Titania :)
