Hi everyone:
It is that time of year to start planning our annual get-together. I hope that most of you directors will already have this momentous occasion - Friday, October 23 - on your calendars.  Please read to the end of this email for important information.

Let's start with the basics:

Why: to catch up on the latest news, network with colleagues, hear from the State Library etc.

The survey at the end lets you tell us if you are coming or not.

If you'd like to pay in advance, you can send a check to Mo Cole, Oregon City Library, 606 John Adams, Oregon City, OR 97045 (Please let me know what it's for as I am still receiving $ for the fundraising workshop as well)

It is located across the street from the library on the corner of SW Hall Blvd. and SW O'Mara street.

Survey: Please take the time to complete our survey to help us get a feel for how many people are coming and how many people will buy lunch from PLD. There is also a place here for your agenda suggestions. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/PLDannualdirectorsmeeting.

Reminder: PLD is providing a free (you pay for lunch only) fundraising workshop on Saturday, October 24, at the same location, the Tigard Public Library.
