The Southern California Chapter of ARLIS/NA is currently inviting

honors the Chapter's founder Judith A. Hoffberg. This year $400 will be
awarded to support and encourage involvement in ARLIS activities by helping
to defray the costs of attending the 2006 ARLIS National Conference in
Banff. In addition the chapter has decided to offer a second travel award of
$400 due to the increased expenses of the conference location.

notified at least 6 weeks prior to the conference.
