Thank you to all of you who voted to update our caucus name to Encore. It is now officially changed.

82.5% agreed we needed to refresh our name. To see the results of the survey monkey vote done last month, please click on:

Join us at our annual meeting in Philadelphia on Tuesday June 14th from 10-11 am, to hear Stephen Abram address us: The New Retiree: Connected and Social: Stereotypes of retirees are rarely, if ever, true. Stephen Abram, contributing author to the book Boomers & Beyond (ALA Editions 2010), will share some of the expected changes in the post, post WW2 generation retired cohort. What technologies do they prefer - or not? What information and reading choices will they or are they making? What are the opportunities for a full and long retirement?

Following his talk,11:00-11:30 am we will convene a business meeting with the following agenda (please advise if you have items to add):
-discuss the WordPress evolution (or status of our wiki)
-discuss options for program and meeting for June 2012 (Lynne McCay)
-review (based on the survey done this year) the intentionality of the group for activities (Susan Fifer Canby)
-finance report (Ty Webb)
