OBS table

Dear OBS-SIS,

I'm setting up the OBS-SIS Exhibit Table this time, so please send me info about any time you have available Sunday-early Tuesday to sit at the table. Any time you have free would be appreciated in hour or half hour stints.

Thanks and looking forward to seeing everyone,

Susan Karpuk

AALL: July 28 EOSi Roundtable Room 144C Reminder

EOSi Roundtable
July 28, 2009
Noon-1:15
Convention Center Room 144C [Check your final program to confirm that the room has not changed]

This is our second annual meeting. This year we will have light snacks only. It was decided last year that we would rather have EOSi personnel rather than a big lunch. This year we will have a speaker phone in the room to talk to EOSi personnel. They will be available for our questions and concerns.

Needed for the meeting:
1. Volunteer to write a report for OBS. Jackie Prentice will be taking notes so she will have the names of the people in her report.
2. Topics you are interested in so EOSi can schedule the appropriate personnel.

Thank you.
