I would be very willing to help host a TORCH workshop in my area, but
probably we should wait until I get back in late June of next summer
to plan for the Fall or winter when it would work best for here.
I'll be out of the country on my Fulbright until then and will be
back in time to help out in the summer workshops, if needed
but can't work on TORCH until afterwards.
Best of luck on getting them going.
