Wish I could be there, but I'm flying back from the DC area that day and can't make it. I'm going to see if someone from my library will come and see how it works. We've been thinking about starting a foundation and this might be a good fundraising idea. We have a mini-golf place in town. Has Rick's group ever solicited help from that type of business? Looks like a natural tie-in, especially if he does winter tournaments when he could borrow putters from the local mini-putt, and the business could hand out coupons and be a sponsor. Neat idea. Note that I would never have realized this was even happening except that: 1. I attended the Illinois Library Assocation Trustee Forum on 2/28 2. Michael Stephens was the main speaker in the morning session 3. His presentation got me into trying Twitter 4. Looking at his Twitter info I spotted your shifted name and looked you up 5. I know you slightly from being on the ALA Advisory Committee representing ALTA/now ALTAFF 6. I decided to follow you 7. You mentioned an intriguing event title in a tweet 8. I guessed that the DGPL in the title was the Downers Grove Library (I lived in DG 1972-1976) and was curious 9. I clicked on the URL and found this entry If I had not gone for the Trustee Forum, I'd never have heard about Library Mini-Golf. Now my entire life may be changed! Enjoy the event and I hope to read about it next week. Dave Hargett Oh, this sounds like fun! Wish I could be there, but I’m flying back from the DC area that day and can’t make it.
