Summer Meeting!
On
June 19 several WYBDA members gathered at Pulaski Middle
School. We discussed our two sessions that were
accepted for the WMEA conference in October. Watch for e-mails from Brenda &
Kathy for information and ways you can be part of the 2008 WMEA
Conference in Madison.
Highlights of the
meeting include introduction of our two new officers: Rebekah Mueller is
now our Vice-President and Jill Casper is our Secretary. However, in
October we will have a new slate of officers. Congratulations and thank
you! If anyone is interested in
being a member rep or any other of the offices, please e-mail Kathy.
Looking Ahead to
WMEA ...
We have had two
sessions approved and put on the schedule for October’s Conference!
