I want you and all of the TASL Membership to know how very much my guest and I enjoyed our "Evening with the Authors" Thursday night. What a highlight of my conference! The view was exquisite, the meal was delectable, the visiting with other librarians was stimulating (always love it!) and the authors' presentations were impressive. I felt so very special and you made it all possible. Thank you for recognizing the value of continued membership in TASL; I felt very appreciated!...and honestly, I feel like I should be the one giving you gifts as I thank you and all of the officers for your hours of volunteer service. It has been my honor to be a member of TASL.
Gratefully,
