Awards/Checks -- who takes care of? Program -- who speaks/who creates the program booklet/costs? Plaques? Arrangements with the Hotel Monteleone for food and drinks. Do we need drink tickets like last year?
ALA handles all the checks for the Awards. Someone will meet us at the Reception and give us the checks. We will use $2500 for the reception. Vicky will make the arrangements with the hotel. One drink ticket per person and hors d’oeuvres for about 75 people. The Reception will last from 6-8 in the Queen Anne Ballroom at the Hotel Monteleone. Awards ceremony will start at 7 to give folks a chance to socialize first. Vicky said we are in good shape. She will take care of getting the drink tickets to give out. Maria needs the names of the sponsors so she can put them on the Program.
Recipient Rebecca Carlson will not be able to attend. Candice is not sure. If Maria is able to go to ALA, she will present awards and will do the “Program”. If not, the presentations will be divided between Karl and Vicky. Karl will do opening remarks. Karl will bring a camera and take photographs. Shirley is having the plaques done. Certificates will be done by Maria. Question arose as to whether Eileen Welch is still coordinating the booth at ALA Annual. Karl will email her to see if she is still attending (she was and set up the FAFLRT information in the exhibit hall). Maria will send her the photos from last year’s award ceremony for posting at the ALA booth.
