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.
