[Bookstoprisoners] National Books to Prisoners Conference (in Urbana?!)

[Jay Schubert]

All,

There has been some recent discussion on the national books to prisoners
email list about doing a National Conference.  Apparently there was one in
2003, and it sounds like it was successful and groups from several cities
might be interested in attending another one.

Naturally, I feel like our IMC is the best place to hold the next
conference.  I'd like to get a read on how others in our group feel about
this.  I've only started gathering information about the last conference,
but I'd like to know A.)  If you'd like to see it happen  B.) If you think
we could pull it off  C.) What kind of support YOU might be able to provide
in the event that we decide to propose hosting the next conference here.

If you think that (under the right circumstances) you might be able to help
by hosting one or two visitors for a weekend, organizing and holding a forum
on a particular topic, or could help in some other way, I'd like to know.
Again, I'm just brain storming here and of course haven't committed to
anything, but would like to open the topic for discussion before some other
BTP group announces they'll be hosting the conference and we miss our
chance.
