    Colleagues:
            
          In these challenging times, justifying your attendance at AALL to
    the "power's that be" is even harder. We know that library meeting and
    travel are a tiny percent of the budget and that ROI for the work we
    do at AALL and what we learn there is tremendous. Here is some
    evidence to prove the point - at least 22 programs of value to PLL
    members (and I am sure you can find more!)
          Take a look at Donna Fisher's great article "Will You Be in New
    Orleans? How to Obtain Funding for the AALL Conference" in 18 #3 PLL
    Perspectives ( Spring 2007)
    http://www.aallnet.org/sis/pllsis/newslett/spring07.asp for a great
    meeting request memo template. More information on the 102nd AALL
    meeting, programs and fees see all the information on the AALL website
    http://www.aallnet.org/events/
        See you in DC ! Lucy Curci-Gonzalez / Director of Library
    Services Kenyon & Kenyon LLP and Immediate Past Chair of PLL
     
    I've taken the liberty of highlighting the PLL sponsored meetings.
