Carol will present our poster to the City Commission and invite all there to attend our events. A videocassette of the event will be available for us. Heather is asked to bring her digital camera.

IV. Banner Hanging

We will hang our Archives Week banner Sunday 10/14/01 at 5pm instead of at 6pm as is currently noted on our web site. Jennifer will bring extra rope. We may celebrate with dinner afterward.

V. Dinner for guest speakers

We will leave it to each speaker to decide whether she would like to go out to dinner with Dr. Gracy (and any of us who so wish) after her talk.

VI. Archives Clinic

Amy reports that all of our volunteer slots are filled for the Clinic.

VII. Mugs

  1. Over 36 mugs are at Carol's house, and Dr. Gracy has about 34 mugs in his office. Costs and materials needed for shipping mugs needs to be researched. Charles may be looking into it.li>Sue Soy will have mugs at AHC to sell.

VIII. Larry Hackman

Since his original talk at the LBJ was cancelled due to the September 11 attacks and the resulting flight difficulties, Larry Hackman finds that the week after Thanksgiving is the only time he can make it to speak to GSLIS. We have decided that we cannot guarantee good attendance at that crucial point in the semester, and so we will not have Mr. Hackman come to speak this semester.

IX. Other news

  1. After seeing our press release, Heather White of News Channel 8 contacted Carol about covering our Archives Clinic on the station's Campus Beat segment. The interview must be scheduled for tomorrow. Amy, Carol, and Dr. Gracy plan to meet Ms. White at the paper lab in CDL for the interview. Jennifer and Charles may be able to attend as well, or in someone's stead.
  2. Dr. Gracy will provide transport for all of our speakers.
  3. Debbie Carter has not replied to emails or phone calls from Charles or Carol recently. Dr. Gracy will look into it.

X. Meeting adjourned at 5:50pm
