[Libs-Or] Fwd: Speak at Oregon Library Association conference?

[Buzzy Nielsen, OLA Legislative Committee Chair]

Hey Amanda and Nicole,

I haven't heard back from Representative Zika's office confirming that he
can participate in our conference session. Could you possibly please
follow-up? Maybe they'll respond better to you.

Cheers!
Buzzy

Hello Representative Zika:

Thank you again for agreeing to speak on a panel at the Oregon Library
Association conference in Bend this year. Just as a reminder, the panel is
directed at library staff and supporters and will address how best to
advocate to elected officials. We'd really appreciate hearing your
perspective on what's effective and what's not. OLA's lobbyist, Amanda
Dalton, will also be on the panel.

I just got word of the date and time of the panel: Friday, May 1,
3.30-5.00p at the Riverhouse. Are you perhaps still willing and able
to attend? We would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you again. I hope that the short session goes well for you!

Cheers!
Buzzy Nielsen
