PADGers:
My apologies all for the slight error in my email address as listed in the below text. The actual address is aebell78@xxxxxxxxx. I do indeed frequently forget how to spell my name.

I am in the process of putting together a panel for the Chicago meeting of the Promoting Preservation Interest Group (the merged Pres Ed and Small to Mid-Sized DGs) for PARS. The group will meet on Sunday, July 12th from 10:30 to 12:30 am at the Hilton, Continental C. The intended topic is Preservation Grant Funding and I have tentative involvement from both IMLS and NEH for presenters. What I now need are two or three volunteers from the preservation masses to speak about their experiences: 1) finding appropriate grants; 2) writing the application (once, twice, thrice, whatever); 3) undergoing the project; and 4) writing the final reports. It might be interesting to have someone speak who is somewhere in the middle of the process instead of all the way through. Ideally, I would like to have someone from a small institution or even a historical society as well a representative from a big institution. If you are yourself a brillant match, or know of someone else who is, and are also planning to attend in Chicago, please, please, please, send me an email at abell78@xxxxxxxxx and volunteer to speak.
My sincere thanks, Adrienne Bell Chair, Promoting Preservation IG
