** Announcing the Don
DeLillo Society **
- TO: Readers and Scholars of Don
DeLillo
- FROM: The Don DeLillo Society
- DATE: July 1, 1999
We wish to announce the formation of the Don
DeLillo Society and to invite your participation in
it. The goal of the Don DeLillo Society is to
promote matters of interest to DeLillo scholars and
readers, and we plan to hold our first meeting at
the 1999 MLA Conference in Chicago. However, in
order to allow for full participation of the
membership, important votes will be done by mail-in
ballot. Though we have officers through the
remainder of 1999, the next group of officers
(which may include current officers, if they run
and are elected) will serve three-year terms,
starting January 1, 2000. Nominations must be
received by October 1, 1999. Please include contact
information for nominees. Any member of the Don
DeLillo Society may submit nominations for any or
all of these positions. We will hold elections in
November or December of 1999. For more information,
please see our website: http://www.cofc.edu/~nelp/delillo/.
