Hi everyone, Due to a health matter and other circumstances beyond my control, I was unable to plan the Annual Meeting for this fall. When I assumed leadership responsibilities for DC ExLibris, I sent a survey of the membership. The majority of responses favored Annual Meetings in the Fall and at locations easily accessible to public transportation. Since Annual Meetings are a vital part of our work with Ex Libris, I would like to begin working towards the next Annual Meeting as soon as possible. I offer January 17th, 2014 at Prince Georges Community College as the next Annual Meeting. My library was renovated in 2008 and still looks remarkably good. I can accommodate 50 people. This is the capacity of the largest meeting room in the library. I can also offer 3 breakout rooms. Each are wired and have monitors, projection devices, pc's, etc. At our last meeting at the Folger, in October of 2013, we were able to offer that at no-charge with a lunch-on-your-own. We will have to consider a fee for lunch for the meeting at Prince Georges. I will be in touch with Ex Libris and the larger Users Group to see about defraying expenses. When I have all the information for that, I will finalize the plans and begin the registration process. At the time the registration site goes live, I will be asking for presentation ideas. Since we will have 3 breakout rooms, we will be able to have multiple presentations in different categories. I hope this will meet with everyone's approval and I look forward to seeing many of you in January. Best, John D.
