* Voucher In 2015: We will waive the national fees of any new AATF member for up to ten students who joins by January 1, 2015. Ten students (@$1.50 ‐ $15.00) will be augmented by a CD of the teacher’s choice ($6.00).  Total voucher value: $21.00. In addition, in 2015, for an AATF member who recruits a new member we will waive the national fee for 5 TEST BOOKLETS. AATF currently has a two for one promotion: a member who recruits two new AATF members will receive a free AATF membership for one year. If a teacher recruits two new members, he or she is eligible to receive 10 free test booklets AND have AATF membership paid for one year – this is up to a $71.50 value! *NOTE: Chapters may decide whether or not to charge local fees.

Again, I strongly encourage you to have your students participate in le Grand Concours.  Traditionally, many students in Ohio receive National and Chapter awards and we do have a great number of topnotch programs and great students from which to draw.  If you have questions about the Contest, do not hesitate to send me an e-mail.  Please continue to watch for further updates and reminders via OFLA ListServhttp://www.ofla-online.org/index.php/ofla-listserv/83-ofla-listserv-instructions, and let’s get going on motivating our students to participate in this National contest. Allons-y!
