On behalf of the Southeast Chapter membership of ARLIS, I would like to thank the Gainevilles, FL, organizers Tom Caswell, incoming President and Ann Lindell, Secretary, for sponsoring both a stimulating and delightful meeting in St. Petersburg, Florida this past weekend. The chapter awarded its annual Mary Ellen LoPresti awards for excellence in art book publishing in the southeast. The membership toured library- and art-museum facilities in the city (Museum of Fine Arts, St. Petersburg and the Salvador Dali Museum). Planning for the Atlanta 2007 Society conference began in earnest as well as architectural tours and old friendships rekindled through evening meals. Attendees came from as far away as Oregon. Successful meetings from chapters of broad geographical distances such as ours don't happen without thoughtful planning and hard work. The substantial attendance reaffirming the vitality of our chapter is always gratifying. A tremendous thanks is duly in order.
