And we had a truly perfect evening to be on the river. Special thanks and kudos to Dave Turkalo, Jeff Flynn and the rest of the Activities Planning Committee for planning this event. Thanks also go to West Group, who underwrote a portion of the cost of this event. I know that you've heard this all before, but an organization is only as good as its members make it. We're all busier than ever, with more work and perhaps fewer staff members.
Budgets are tight, nerves are frayed and the stress level is off the charts.
However, some members still make the time to participate on a committee, while others think that their participation ends with attending a lunch. ABLL is a great organization, filled with terrific women and men. Get out of the rut of your routine. Give back something worthwhile, and meet some new folks in the bargain. Librarianship has changed drastically from when many of us began our careers.
