  will there be movie and popcorn night this year?

  We don’t have a movie night on the schedule this year. However, if there is enough interest, I’m sure it could be a possibility for next year.

  At the Presidental Bash will food be provided at no charge or do you have to pay for the food? And do you know what’s on the menu for that nights event?

  Will transportation be provided for the Presidental Bash maybe a charter bus or something?

  At the Bash/Fundraiser food, punch, and coffee (and musical entertainment!) will be provided at no cost. The menu includes: sliced meats/bread, fruit/cheese, Spinach Madeline, tomato sandwiches, and chocolate mold with strawberries. A cash bar will also be available.

  Remember – all ticket proceeds go to our scholarships. SirsiDynix is sponsoring the event.

  No transportation will be provided, but it’s only a short drive from the covention center and hotels.

  Are there any programs with respect to minorities/African Americans at this year’s conference?

• 12. Jeff Slagell&hellip  |  October 4th, 2007 at 7:16 pm

  You may find Dr. Leatha Hayes’ presentation at the Black Caucus Luncheon or Eddie Spencer’s program entitled “From Imprisonment to Freedom” of interest. Dates/times can be found in the preliminary conference program on the web site.

  If you have a specific topic in mind, I would encourage you to suggest it for next year’s conference on your conference evaluation form.

  Please bring back movie night. That was the best part of the conference!
