<p class="MsoNormal">Hey all and happy February:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The best thing about February is it is short, it sometimes has good snow, and my mama (and many of my favorite people) was born in February. Another upside: we are already having another Coffee Connection and it will be in February. This
definitely will help counter the less wonderful things about February, which I will not take the time to list here.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Here’s the scoop:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Who</b>: calling all managers and directors of any kind of library (we can learn a lot from each other!) Please note: we are not strict or exclusive: retired librarians, consultants, supervisors, etc. – please give this a go. You are
welcome.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>What:</b> essentially conversations with coffee (or tea or whatever; I promise not to make you drink coffee) about things like board meetings, budgets, etc.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>When:</b> Friday, February 16, 8-10, drop-in<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Why</b>: to learn from our collective experiences, connect, support, grow, and laugh-ok main thing-laugh<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>How:</b> see above-conversation, discussion, stories, tales, bad jokes, puns, etc.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Where</b>: this month we will meet at <b>Well and Good</b> (which I want to rename Good and Plenty. I mean, right?) in
<b>Tigard, 7357 SW Beveland St. <a href="http://www.wellandgoodcoffee.com/">http://www.wellandgoodcoffee.com/</a>
</b>It’s really easy to get to; whoever gets there first, grab the big table, please.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please note: this will be Eva Calcagno’s last Coffee Connection as a non-retired person. Although she will always be welcome to join us (right, Ed House?) come see her in her countdown to freedom.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This is your last reminder; I’m going skiing (February=snow, see above) for a few days and I may forget when I get back. Yes, I did need to say that in order to make myself feel better about Eva retiring. And me not retiring.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Happy Tuesday! Hope to see you soon!!!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Mo<o:p></o:p></p>
