Oct. 1, 2012

Hi Everyone: I'm sending this gentle reminder that if you have not registered for the Annual Meeting, there are 10 seats left as of this moment. The link to the registration form is here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dERHZzlDcEFfcE9nR1dJS3… If you have already registered, consider yourself registered. I don't have a mechanism at this point to send a formal confirmation. However, if you want a personal confirmation, send me a reply to this email. I am managing the registrations through Google Docs. If you have any problem opening the form and registering, let me know and I can take care of your registration for you. We will have a full day of presentations, q&a's, information from Ex Libris, information from ELUNA, etc. Most importantly, will have an open discussion on the agenda to help the membership chart a course for the group and any future meetings or activities. Continental breakfast will be courtesy of Ex Libris. Lunch will be on your own (there are many wonderful lunch spots on Capital Hill). The meeting working time frame will be 8:30 to 4:30. The finalized agenda will be forthcoming. If you are interested in making a presentation and have not submitted one, please email Suzanne Picken picken(a)wrlc.org and she can assist you. One week prior to the meeting, I will send the final agenda and other pertinent information to those that are registered. Thanks everyone for your enthusiastic interest. John John D.
