Re: June 7 cleanup -Reply

Hi.   Lynn Jones suggests 6/25 in the a.m., can everyone confirm?  
Janice has invited us to meet at Mills College Library, Special Collections.
Please see below for directions.

Concerning whether or not we should put on a disaster workshop in the
Bay Area this year:

I appreciate Lynn Jones' suggestion that the California Preservation
Program interns are putting on a series of workshops starting this
summer.  We should certainly steer all who are interested in participating
in these sessions their way.  This will be especially good for the folks
from the Central Valley and Sacramento who attended the Symposium.

However, from the way I read Lynn's and also Marilyn McDonald's
messages, the CPP interns are mandated to conduct their workshops
outside the Bay Area.  If this is the case, we should certainly try to
organize our own workshop closer to home if at all feasible.  A corner
stone of what we have been proposing in our literature for months is the
creation of a corps of librarians, archivists, records folks (and their
respective staffs, technicians, assistants) with basic training in disaster
response.  ( As Sheryl Davis pointed out in her Symposium presentation,
an affliated organization's localized disaster may be a training opportunity
for others providing mutual aid.)

Lynn also points out that a workshop would be duplicative and would not
get funded as such by the State Library/LSCA program.  This is certainly
a concern.  However, if we held a workshop in the next six months, we
would not be asking for LSCA funds to support it.  The workshop would
be self-supporting, with seed money from existing BAPNet funds (thanks
to the hard work of many people we now have a substantial bank
account - from June 7 Symposium receipts/BAPNet dues).

So perhaps when we meet next week, we can discuss this, too?

Here is a proposed agenda:

1.  June 7 Symposium debriefing

2.  Mutual response brainstorming

3.  Future programs, including a proposal for a disaster response (and
planning?) training workshop.

Mills College is at 5000 MacArthur Blvd., Oakland.
