<DIV>Your responses will be used to prepare the Performer Showcase schedule and Index of Performers that attendees receive. In September, I will send you your 5 minute time slot and provide additional information about the day. (Many of you already know just how awesome this is!)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>2. <STRONG>2016 Oregon Performer Directory</STRONG> survey:</DIV>

<DIV>This one is just a little longer, but still very quick and easy to complete. From information you provide, I will create the downloadable 2016 Oregon Performer Directory. It will be available on the Oregon Library Association Children's Services Division website beginning in October 2016.</DIV>
<DIV>Showcase attendees will have access to the information the day of the Showcase.</DIV>

<DIV>Thank you for your help to include all Children's, Teen and Family performers in Oregon and the Pacific Northwest!</DIV>
