President’s Letter
Dear Colleagues,
It seems like just last week we were kicking off the new year with our first meeting at Wildfire, and here we are, already lacing up our boots and digging out our mittens to head out to Ditka’s for the November Business Meeting.
Winter is officially upon us. While many of us wish for the return of sunshine and warmth, winter can be a great time to dig into those projects we tend to put aside in the frantic summer and fall months’ influx of new students and new associates.
From the Editors
Welcome to this rather short, but very important Fall 2019 issue of the CALL Bulletin. Inside you will find the regular business information of CALL, including a recap of the September 2019 Business Meeting as well as the complete slate of candidates for the 2020 CALL Board.
Anne Hudson, recipient of a CALL grant, reviews the 2019 AALL meeting, and with it fond memories of summer. Additionally, Matt Timko provides musings on “maintaining” a work-life balance.
Fall is the perfect time to get cozy and comfortable with the CALL Bulletin, so enjoy!
