CALL Nominations and Elections Committee 2019-2020 Annual Report
The CALL Nominations and Elections Committee had a very successful year. We were able to find nominees for all of the open positions: Vice President/President-elect, Treasurer, and Director. We were probably a month behind last year’s schedule with our call for nominees, but this did not seem to affect the nomination process. Despite our good luck with a late call for nominations, I think future Nominations and Elections Committee chairs should let the call for nominations start early and go long.

From the Editors
This issue has been quite a doozy to get off the ground. Like everyone else, it seems that COVID 19 has brought many extracurricular activities to a screeching halt while we navigate our new realities. But thanks to the hard work of our fellow CALL Members and the CALL Bulletin staff we happily present the much delayed Spring issue of the Bulletin (Issue 255)!
In this issue we bid farewell to Jessie LeMar as she writes her last message as President of CALL. Debbie Ginsberg gives advice for staying data safe in a time where we are all working from home. Carrie Port summarizes the Meting Committee’s Zoom happy hours, and invites you to join one in August. We send a preliminary congratulations to the 2020 CALL Award winners (before formally congratulating them when we next have a business meeting in person). Finally, we congratulate Susane Yesnick on a wonderful career as we interview her after her recent retirement.
We hope you are all staying safe, active, and engaged with CALL. We wish a healthful and fun remainder of your summer as we look toward the Fall, and we hope to (non-digitally) see you all as soon as possible. Take care and enjoy!

Zoom Happy Hours!
When the rise of the coronavirus sent us home, the CALL Meetings Committee decided to host online happy hours. It has become a great way to raise a glass to discuss with working from home, fears and concerns about Covid, and chat about our favorite movie soundtrack.
As librarians, we are skilled in learning new technologies so everyone has caught onto Zoom quickly. It has also been great to include CALL members who are living out of state (California, Indiana, Wisconsin).
After the success of the first online happy hour, we have been holding them every three weeks on Zoom. We will be having our final summer happy hours on July 29 at 5:30 and August 20 at 12:30pm.
If you have suggestions for the fall please reach out to Eugene Guidice, Mike McMillan or Carrie Port, and stay tuned for the new schedule.
