Minutes

Evlyn Schmidt asked for corrections to the September minutes, and they were approved by acclamation.

Officer nominations

Cathy Blackman and David Oberhelman are working on nominations for chair-elect and secretary. Michele Seikel volunteered to run for either position.

Silent Auction Basket Ideas

This year, smaller baskets that won’t be so expensive and can be purchased by regular people (poor librarians) are preferred, so David will coordinate a small basket with the Star Wars theme, and Evlyn will coordinate the Round Table basket.

We will work on the baskets more at the February meeting.

Workshop

Registration will be available on the OLA website for the first time, and our workshop will be the test case for Charles’ registration form. A copy of the flyer will also be on the web page. Marc Carlson will do the basic ILL introduction, Demystifying ILL. Pat Weaver-Myers will do the keynote session in the morning. Debra Engel will do the middle management session, and Linda Edmondson will speak on staff relations. All of them are confirmed, and Evlyn will moderate the panel discussion. The speakers for the Evaluations sessions still must be contacted. Melissa Huffman is contacting City Bites to do the catering on Jan. 29^th. Everyone working on the workshop details will meet on Jan. 5^th at the Tom Steed Center at Rose State to figure out the logistics and inspect the rooms. Time for that meeting will be announced by David Oberhelman.

Refreshments volunteers:

Jo Daniel will bring a coffeemaker, drinks (coffee, juice, water), and cookies for afternoon break.

Evlyn Schmidt will bring paper goods (plates, cups, cutlery, napkins).

Michele Seikel will bring ice, fruit, bagels and muffins for morning break.
