As the deadline draws ever closer, members of the local planning committee have been increasingly preoccupied with planning for next year’s conference in Vancouver. > >Several Chapter members were able to attend the conference in Philadelphia in March 1998, where the NW Chapter promoted the 1999 Conference. Local planning committee members handed out popular miniature Canadian flag pins, and Cheryl Siegel gave an entertaining slide show presentation on the charms of Vancouver. > >In June, the Conference Planning Advisory Committee (CPAC) met in Vancouver for two intense days, to look over the conference facilities and hammer out an initial draft of the program. Local members were grateful to have the expertise and support of the CPAC group at this stage in the planning process. To attract potential conferees, Kathy Zimon initiated the Vancouver Conference Bulletins, which were posted on both arlis-l and carlis-l. Marilyn Berger, Canadian Chapter representative, kindly arranged to have the bulletins translated into French. > >On December 4, the Chapter held its annual meeting at the Seattle Art Museum. We were pleased to welcome two new potential Chapter members to the meeting. The following members gave progress reports on the Conference: Cheryl Siegel - program; Diana Cooper & Carole Goldsmith - local arrangements; John Cull - exhibits; Peter Grewenow & Connie Okada - fundraising; Sheila Wallace -registration/volunteers; and Melva Dwyer & Stan Shiebert - tours/transportation. Danuta Zwierciadlowski (website), Kathy Zimon (program), Brenda Peterson (fundraising) and Moira Steven (internet room), were unable to attend, but have been working hard on their areas of responsibility. Local conference planning committee members are grateful to Cheryl Siegel for keeping us on track. > >Stan Shiebert reported that the NW Chapter newsletter is defunct. Once the Vancouver conference is over, we would like to set up a Chapter website and focus on attracting new members. > ******************************************************************* Carole Goldsmith Tel: (604) 291-3268 Reference Division Fax: (604) 291-3023 Bennett Library Email: [log in to unmask] Simon Fraser University OR Burnaby, BC, CANADA [log in to unmask] V5A 1S6
