M&\ briefly
Thanks to everyone who
wrote lo comment on "Ktpl"
it's nice to know that people
are reading it!
Most readers liked the
English-language 'summary
box' before the Esperanto
articles, while others enjoyed
the little trivia facts that finish
the pages.
Among the contributions
this month is a trio of iiems
from readers in Pennsylvania.
Does this mean that
Pennsylvania will become the
California for the next
generation of Esperantists?

Local Groups to Compete for
Awards at '94 Nat'l Congress
Ĉi-jare, dum la Nacia
Esperanta Kongreso en
Sacramento. ELNA disdonos
trofeojn kaj mondonacojn ai ia
plej aktivaj loKaj ktuboj. La
nova Atingo-Premio por Lokaj
Grupoj estas ekscita kaj
bonega maniero kuragjgi
membrojn iabori en siaj iokaj
grupoj.
During the '94 National
Esperanto Congress, ELNA
will be awarding trophys and
monetary gifts to the best focal
groups as prizes for the '94
Local Group Achievement
Awards.
David Wolff, who helped
establish the Awards,
explained the reasoning for the
competition. "Local groups
are the very foundation of the
movement... But, all too often,
our local groups are in-
effective... ELNA, through the
Local Groups Commission, is
taking steps to help our local
groups grow, gain strength,
and become more effective,'
he said.
Some of the categories
include outstanding iocai event
outstanding newsietter.and
highest membership growth
rate. There is also a separate
category for the largest college
group and largest high school
group.
The competition began in
September, when Wolff sent
out a beginning survey to
numerous local groups. A
second survey will be sent to
them soon. By comparing the
two surveys, he and Don
Coleman. ELNA's Commis-
sioner for Local Groups, can
determine which groups kept
the most members, grew the
most, etc. They will use the
groups' newsletters to find
winners in the other
categories.
Although the '94 Awards
haven't been distributed yet,
it's not loo late to be thinking
about the '95 Awards.
Establishing a group now will
make you elgible for next
year's Awards, since the
second survey from this year's
competition will serve as the
first survey for next year's
Awards. There's no better
way to earn fame and
recognition (not to mention
hundreds of dollars in prize
money) for your local club.
For more details about the
competition, or to receive the
starter survey for the '95
Awards, contact USE J or the
coordinator of the Awards,

Kiel kutime, vi trovos sufice

Spring has barely arrived
for most of the country, yet it's
time to be thinking about your
summer plans You should
probably start planning now for
any summer Esperanto
conventions you might want to
attend this year, especially if
you're going overseas.
By planning early, you can
take advantage of a variety of
unique travel options, such as
train passes. You'll have
ample time to smooth out any
potential problems {especially
regarding passports and
visas). And, you'll save
yourself a bit of money by
regisirating earty.
Here are four of the most
known summer Esperanto
events:
25th SFSU Workshop
San Francisco
26 June-15 July
Duncan Charters, Stefan
MacGill and Joachim Werdin
will be teaching at this year's
special 25th anniversary
courses.
As always, several classes
are available for all levels,
ranging from beginner to
advanced. Naturally, the
Esperantists in San Francisco
will have lots of activities
planned to keep you busy
(when you're not studying, that
is.)
42nd National Convention
Sacramento, 15-13 July
If you're already in
California for the SFSU
courses, why not stay a little
longer there to   attend this
year's National Esperanto
Convention? You'll be treated
to an entertaining and exciting
Esperanto weekend, in
addition to visits to the State
Capitol and other historic and
natural attractions in
Sacramento.
79th World Congress of
Esperanto
Seoul, 23-30 July
The booming metropolis of
Seoul will be celebrating two
major events this year- its
600th anniversary as the
capita) of Korea and the 79lh
World Congress, only the third
to ever take place in Asia.
Participants of this year's
World Congress will be right in
time to enjoy not only the
cultural and historic events of
the Congress, but also those
for Seoul. EVS is planning
post-congress trips throughout
South Korea, including stops
in Pusan, Taegu andKyongju.
But the country with the most MONA TO readers in 1992 per 1 million inhabitants was Iceland
50th World Congress of Young
Esperan lists,
Chonan. 30 July - 06 August
Only six years after the
hugely successful 1966
Summer Olympics, the young
people of the world return
once again to the Republic of
Korea, to help celebrate the
most known convention of
young Esperantjsts.
South Korea is one of the
few countries where young
Esperantists actually
outnumber older Esperantists.
So, you'll definitely have a
chance to meet and know the
Koreans well.
Flyers and registration
forms for these conventions
are available from USE J.
Of course, these aren't the
only summer events! There
are literally hundreds of other
Esperanto events throughout
the globe. Just drop a note by
USEJ and we'll send you more
information. You can also
