<p class="MsoNormal">According to our schedule, Carmen from DC will be hosting our monthly online meeting on October 17<sup>th</sup> on the topic of Summer Learning/Library Programs. Jasmine, let us know if you are still willing/able to host November’s meeting.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Speaking of November, many of us are scheduled to meet in Louisville as part of the YALSA forum. Looking at the great

info that Janet put together</a>, we have almost 24 people who are open to dinner on Sunday evening. I looked into it, and I couldn’t find a restaurant within walking distance that would take such a large group. Therefore, I am wondering if we should split

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please let me know if you have an opinion and/or what time we should try to make reservations for—maybe 7pm?<o:p></o:p></p>
