We're back from NYSLAA

















We are back from the 2008 NYSLAA conference.

It was one of the best conferences I have been to. This first post is just a general overview. I will post more information about different workshop that were attended by PLS Assistants in our area.

Some of us arrived in Liverpool on Wednesday afternoon. We had lunch at Heid's in Liverpool and then headed off to our first event. After a quick visit to the Liverpool Public Library, which had self check outs! It was fun to watch patrons pull 'holds' off the shelve and check themselves out, we headed to Onondaga Lake for a Tram ride tour and a stop at the Salt Museum.
Wednesday evening, we had a BBQ 'Mixer' on the hotel patio with live music and wonderful food. Yummy.
Thursday started the official workshops. After a full day of workshops, we had a fun dinner at Borio's Restaurant. Our entertainment for the evening was an impersonator. He sang and dressed many different artist, ranging from Neil Diamond, Willie Nelson and Elvis.
Friday was another morning filled with workshops. Our luncheon was held at 1pm followed by a keynote speaker and awards ceremony.

Most information to be posted each day this week!
Please check back often!!
