[WSCSS] Colonial Dames Supported History/Social Studies Opportunity Posting

[Dorothy Kehres]

The Colonial Dames of Washington would like to pass on this marvelous
opportunity for social studies/history teachers for next summer (Tuesday,
July 29 through Friday, August 1, 2008) in Mason Neck, Virginia.  This would
be an event that qualifies for our Washington Colonial Dames grant
applicants as well (visit www.coldameswa.net for our grant information).  We
would love to see some Washington teachers participate.
