Hi, everyone-- In the light of our talk this past weekend about the future of the MT House in Hartford, I thought this would be of interest. Maybe you all received this, too?

With your help, Pearson Education can make a difference. By packaging a Pearson Longman Literature text with a Penguin novel, you can join Pearson Longman in the challenge to save these literary landmarks. We will donate $1.00 to the home of your choice, for every value pack ordered by your bookstore. We will also enter participating instructors in a raffle to win a weekend excursion to these historic homes in June 2009. Pearson will provide transportation, food, and lodging for five winners and their guests. Winners will be announced March 31, 2009. For instructions on how to join Pearson in saving these homes and to enter a raffle for a weekend excursion visit: http://www.pearsonhighered.com/litlandmarks If you have questions about any of our texts, please contact your Pearson representative ([log in to unmask]). Sincerely, Joyce ---------------------------------------------------------- Joyce Nilsen Marketing Manager, Literature Pearson Higher Education 51 Madison Avenue New York, NY 10010
