And....We're Off!

Off to the Missouri Library Association Conference. As a member of the Hospitality Committee and the Conference Arrangements Committee (CAC), my on-site responsibilities start tomorrow, the day before the conference begins.

At 10:00, I'll be driving one of several cars carrying programs and other goodies from Washington University where they've been collecting to the Millennium Hotel for the Conference. The CAC meets at 1:00, just to see how everything is going, and then we stuff bags.

The CAC meets every morning at 7:25 which I think is splendid idea, even if it is a bit early for someone who sets her own hours and almost never sets the alarm for earlier than 7:30.

Here are the places you're most likely to catch me during the conference because someone is depending on me being there. I'll be doing other things, too, but I'm going to choose those on the fly.

Wednesday, October 1
11:45 - 12:45 Welcome to MLA
3:45 - 4:30 Securing Public Access Computers

8:15 - 9:00 Welcome to MLA
9:15 - 10:00 Missouri Digital Heritage
12:15 - 1:30 Librarians who Lunch

4:30 - 5:30 Annual Business Meeting
8:00 - 10:00 VP Debate

Friday, October 3

8:15 - 9:00 CIT SIG Meeting
9:15 - 10:00 The Virtual Book Scene (that's my presentation!)
11:00 - 1:00 Hospitality Desk

In between those times, I'm always up for a walk (bring a jacket! we're transitioning to fall weather) or coffee or a meal or a drink. OK. Maybe I should pack now.     #
