[Imc-outreach] Begining of an orientation Agenda

[Radical Librarian]

Hi Kids,

I know that I said I would have a draft agenda out by Friday... But hey three days late ain't too bad. Anyhow this is just a 
starting point, that I based on the Agenda that Paul R used back in April 2001. At our meeting Wednesday we should 
probably finalize it if we indeed want to have the first orientation on July 17. It's only two weeks away and we definitely 
have to start with the PR for it.
