Notes from NYSLAA Conference ------- 6/2/08
By Pam Dibble
Save energy/ Save Money workshop was very informative. There were lots of different things you can do. The big thing now is the energy saving light bulbs but you just have to be careful on how you discard them. Everyone who took the workshop received a energy saving kit. This was done by Steve Chandler.
The genealogy workshop was done by Holly Sammons from Liverpool Library. We were given lots of good sights to help with finding past family members. If you are interested let me know.
The rain garden/rain catchers was presented by Cooperative Extension of Onondaga County. I learned how rain gardens help with conserving water, recharging groundwater, creating habitat for birds and butterflies and making rain barrels from recycled materials. This was a very interesting workshop.
The fourth workshop was preparing for preschoolers. This was done by Amber Basham Robson aka Mrs. Bee. This was a very energetic and fun presentation. It is always good to get suggestions of new books to try. It is also good to get new ideas.
The conference was fun and full of ideas.
