TSS Annual Meeting Clarification
by T'ang Studies Society 25 Mar '21

25 Mar '21

Hello all, You may have noticed in my message this morning that I referred to the Annual Meeting as "tomorrow." That was due to a system delay. I wrote the message last evening. The Annual Meeting is TODAY (Thursday, March 25) at 9:00 p.m. EDT, as indicated in Jon Skaff's various reminders. My apologies for any confusion. But my heart-felt wish that you attend still stands! All best, Tony Anthony DeBlasi President T'ang Studies Society

T'ang Studies Society Annual Meeting
by DeBlasi, Anthony 25 Mar '21

25 Mar '21

Dear Friends of the T'ang Studies Society, You have been receiving regular reminders from Jonathan Skaff, the Society's Secretary, about tomorrow's Annual Meeting. I would like to add my personal encouragement that you to attend. I realize that many of our members found last year's meeting too impersonal - a marked departure from the Society's traditional conviviality. This year we will be using a straight Zoom format (as opposed to the dreaded webinar mode) and will opening the proceedings up for member interaction, so I truly hope that you will find the time to attend. The Society is only a society because of its members. And feel free to bring your favored beverage. We may not have catering, but we can still raise a toast to each other. Looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow evening. All best, Tony Anthony DeBlasi, Ph.D. President, T'ang Studies Society Associate Professor Department of East Asian Studies University at Albany
