   Dear Members of Central Ohio SLA,

   As the world around us is in constant change, both globally and
   personally, it is a privilege for me to be a part of CO-SLA as it
   develops, adapts, and grows in its environment.  2007 is our first year
   following the conventional year-end calendar and will require
   adjustments to fit.  2007 holds great promise as a year for learning
   about our profession, about each other professionally, and about each
   other as people with common interests.

   Volunteering to help Central Ohio SLA is a way to help others in our
   profession as well as contributing on a personal level to help building
   a stronger organization.  CO-SLA has the potential and promise to change
   the career path of many local graduates as I witnessed last year during
   the Kent Student Day at Work CO-SLA held last spring.  It also has the
   potential to create a more rewarding and truly useful experience for
   those with established careers.

   Building a stronger CO-SLA depends on volunteers.  I encourage you to
   contribute your time, your news and publications, and most of all your
   ideas and energy towards how CO-SLA can do more for its members.  There
   are few better local opportunities available to network and learn than
   CO-SLA.

   I hope to see you all at SLA in Denver this June!
