Dear ______:

Thank you again for your interest in my ethnographic research project

“TITLE OF PROJECT.” I am grateful for the support, insight, and rich
information I was able to obtain throughout the research process.

In that spirit of collaboration and as a token of this appreciation, I

wish to invite you to the following events taking place later this
semester.

The Celebration of Student Writing (December 11, 2009, from

4:00-5:00 @The Club in the Sam Rayburn Student Center)
The Commerce Writes Symposium (December 17, 10:30-12:30,
@ the Auditorium in the Hall of Languages, Room 203)

The Celebration of Student Writing is a loud, interactive affair

that includes all students who took English 102 this fall. It is a poster
session where researchers display their findings and answer questions
of passers-by. For additional details, see video about the event called
“Worth Celebrating” available
http://www.ncow.org/browse/video/carter_worthcelebrating.html).

The Commerce Writes Symposium is a new event. Here,

researchers investigating literacy practices and communities in
Commerce share their work in individual presentations of 10-15
minutes each. This event is a much smaller event, providing
researchers in one section of English 102 with the opportunity to share
multimedia and more traditional presentations of their work in a
conference-like format.
All of these undergraduate researchers are eager to share their work
with interested community members like you. I hope you can join us at
this, the end of our first semester of college. I, for one, am looking
forward to what the next few years will bring.

Yours in Celebration,

Your Name
