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

[Sand and Sea Sells Used Books Etc.]

WOW! What a great idea Jay!  Of course we could pull it off! I think it would be perfect and loads of fun.  Just think of the networking!  I'll do what I can from making/setting up food type stuff to helping do seminars, organizing programs, or whatever needs doing.  First on the agenda would be to set a date that the IMC is available.  We may also want to get the family room for some smaller workshops.  

I hope it isn't going to be too soon (like next month).  We have a lot of prep work and cleaning to do!

  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.

  Jay
