Welcome to the Fall Issue of VAN.  Feel free to use this link if you just want to scroll through all the stories directly on the website, or take a look below for highlights of the issue with links directly to each story.  

We are gearing up for the annual meeting this summer in San Antonio, May 6-9.  In this issue we have the call for papers, deadlines for fellowships and awards to attend the conference, and also nominations for our awards.  There is a feature article on the Miami Vernacular Project from Ridout recipient Jose Vasquez and several announcements for conferences and workshops. In addition, we have lots of member news, from profiles of board members to honors, publications, and presentations.

In publications news, the Fall Bibliography is packed with useful resources that contribute to vernacular studies.  If you are thinking of contributing to the scholarly conversation, consider submitting to the VAF Journal Buildings & Landscapes. Thanks as always for the contributions to the newsletter, love to share all the wonderful work our community is doing!
