[CALIBK12] Carol Shuey Clarification

Thu Oct 23 19:09:50 PDT 2008

I am catching up on this week's listserve. I also echo Jo and Linda  
Jewett's comments. In my five years as a TL attending the wonderful  
CSLA conferences, I always noticed the little woman with the dark  
hair, bright eyes, and walkie-talkie striding the corridors to make  
sure everything was working and in place. I had the pleasure of  
serving as treasurer of the 2007 Conference in Ontario. Carol's  
leadership made all our jobs easier and more successful. Carol gave a  
real value-added bonus to our conferences. Thanks Carol - your  
contributions have helped make CSLA the great organization that it is.
