[Bookstoprisoners] Re: Hosting the next National BTP Conference

[jamie storm]

I will be out of town this Saturday.

My 2 cents:  hosting the conference is an exciting idea but I worry that our 
volunteer pool won't have the energy and time to add this big task to our 
operation.  It seems to me that we are already struggling to meet our 
commitments to the jail and IDOC inmates.  If the group decides to go for it 
I will help as I can with the caveat that I will be away off and on much of 
the summer.
