<p class="MsoNormal">My first OLA Conference was a lot like my first day of 7<sup>th</sup> grade: everyone else was already BFF and I didn’t have anyone to sit with at lunch. It wasn’t a fun experience for me and I’d like to ensure that this year’s newbies
(and anyone else who finds themselves alone at a conference event) have a much better experience.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">On behalf of the CSD Board, I’d like to invite you to come and sit, chat, roam, and hang out with us during at this week’s conference in Eugene. Our delightful Web Editor, Taylor Worley, has posted pictures of us on the CSD website so you
know what we look like: <a href="http://www.csdola.org/">http://www.csdola.org/</a>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please say hi to us at the conference if you can. We can’t wait to meet you!<o:p></o:p></p>
