[Reforma_or] Please consider serving on Oregon's LSTA Advisory Council

[Max Macias]

Hi Everyone,

I would reiterate what Ross said.

We NEED REFORMA members at the table!

I was a member and also chaired.

It allowed me the opportunity to raise issues that might not have been
raised if I were not there.

Here is a link to a post on Lowrider Librarian that I wrote about being on
the Council.

I hope everyone is safe and healthy!

Max
