NMRT is able to offer three tickets to the Newbery/Caldecott/Wilder Banquet at
the ALA Annual Conference. Tickets are $94 each, which would be out of the
financial reach of most NMRT members if it weren't for the generosity of
Marshall Cavendish.</FONT></P>

Marshall Cavendish Award Committee may enter. Just write a short essay (around
250 words) telling us why you want to attend the Newbery/Caldecott/Wilder
Banquet and how you feel you would benefit. For more information about Newbery,
