[Michlib-l] FOML Friends Spring Workshop and Fred Ruffner Symposium - Save the Date!

[Linda Pierce]

Hello Friends,

The next FOML Spring Workshop & Fred Ruffner Symposium is called *"**Knowledge
is Power:  Managing Your Friends Group for Optimal Friend-ly Service**"* and
it's coming up on *Thursday, April 14, 2016* at the *Hoyt Library in
Saginaw!*

Topics include:

   - *"The Power of Friends: Winning Friends & Influencing People"* by our
   Fred Ruffner Symposium speaker *Gail Madziar, *Executive Director of the
   Michigan Library Association


   - *"Knowledge Is Power - Lessons Learned" - *a panel discussion with *Doreen
   Hannon, Darnell Gundy-Reed and Jennifer Kundak*


   - and the opportunity to share your success stories with *"Talk About
   Friends - What Knowledge Can You Share?"*


FOML will also hold the annual meeting for the membership and present the
Outstanding Friends of the Library Merit Awards to the winning groups for
2015. These workshops are a great time to network with other Friends
groups, tour the *Hoyt Library*, eat lunch at the Castle Museum, and spend
a day learning how to support your library!

*Seating is limited*, so register today.
