Colleagues--I just heard, and thought you'd all like to know, that Candy
Morgan is being honored with a well-deserved award by the ACLU of Oregon
Foundation at their dinner next month.

E.B. McNaughton Civil Liberties Award 
For a long record and outstanding contribution to civil liberties and
civil rights

Candace Morgan
ACLU of Oregon Board Member, Candace Morgan, has dedicated her
professional career and volunteer efforts to intellectual freedom. In
addition to her work as a librarian, she has revived the ACLU of
Oregon's participation in Banned Books Week, creating the only
state-wide effort in the nation that brings together libraries,
bookstores, and non-profits to educate around the freedom to read

If you are new to Oregon and do not know Candy, you should definitely
meet her.  She lives here in Portland but worked for many years as
Associate Director at Fort Vancouver Regional Library in Vancouver, WA.
She has had a distinguished career in ALA, and throughout Oregon,
Washington and the nation as an intellecutal freedom trainer and
activist.  She was project manager of the current version of the ALA
Intellectual Freedom Manual and is one of the founders and leading
lights of the ALA Lawyers for Libraries trainings.  These days she is an
adjunct faculty member for Emporia SLIM and continues to train
librarians around the country on IF issues.  She keeps in shape for her
IF activism by climbing mountains and teaching others to climb them.
And I could go on at length!  

If you are interested in attending the March 6 dinner where Candy will
be honored, Leila Wrathall, our former HR Manager here at MCL, is going
to try to organize a library table or two.  Details are on the attached
invitation.  Ticket info is on the ACLU web site
http://www.aclu-or.org/LibertyDinner.

Tickets are $125, but a portion of that is a tax-deductible donation to
the ACLU Foundation.
