A good time was had by all!

The CMLE/MEMO Fall Annual Meeting & Workshop took place at the St. Cloud Country Club on November 4, 2010. It was a fun, yet educational event for our members and their guests. Throughout the course of the evening we had about 50 attendees, and we were so happy to see each of you!

Evaluations of the event show that it was a success, with nearly all attendees reporting that they loved the author as well as the Five in Fifty presentations. The author for the evening was Catherine Friend, who gave a fantastic and funny presentation on writing, publishing and several of her most memorable experiences on the farm.  The Five in Fifty presentations were short, ten minute presentations on technology and resources, given by CMLE members, and CMLE staff.  It seems that everyone loves these quick, yet informative sessions! Many thanks to our presenters!!
