2006 WLA CONVENTION - MAKING CONNECTIONS

This year's WLA Convention will be held at the Kalahari Resort in Wisconsin Dells, October 31st thru November 3rd. The Convention is being held in consort with the Wisconsin Health Science Library Association, with the theme being MAKING CONNECTIONS. Today is the last day to have your mailed or faxed registration accepted at the "Advance Registration" rates. Take a look at the agenda and you will be sure to find something very important for you, your library or your Friends group.

Thursday noon the WLTA will be sponsoring a luncheon. Since the demise of FOWL (Friends of Wisconsin Libraries) Friends activities are coming under the umbrella of WLTA (Wisconsin Library Trustees & Advocates). Exactly what direction these activities are going to take is still under discussion, so this would be a great time for Friends leaders to get to know the WLTA officers and offer them input.

My wife tells me that the Kalahari Resort is a fantastic place. There will be lots of time for play as well as work at this convention, and the WLA could hardly have picked a better spot. I hope to see you there. I'll be the guy in the red sweatshirt ..... NO ..... that was at the Badger game. Look for my name tag !!
