Join your colleagues at the Annual Meeting of our MLA Chapter at the Yonkers Riverfront Public Library on the banks of the Hudson River on Wednesday, October 6, 2010.

“You cannot step into the same river twice, for fresh waters are ever flowing in upon you.” – Heraclitus

The Program Committee has planned a special day based around the theme “Changing Currents”, and we hope that participants walk away empowered to embrace the fluidity of our times. In an effort to increase turnout and diversity of attendees, the Program Committee has introduced special registration rates this year. Student members and members currently between positions can attend at a special discounted rate, and members of other chapters can attend at our member rate.

Registration form, program & directions at http://www.nynjmla.org/blog/annual-meetings/changing-currents/

Spread the word and see you there!
