Each regional alliance meets to bring together representatives from HSM member historical organizations in several counties.

The speaker will offer insights on a topic of concern or opportunity, and the networking and collaboration portion allows for conversations among a region's historical organizations. Attendance at a Michigan History Alliance meeting is FREE of charge for current member organizations of HSM. Since the Alliance is a benefit for HSM member organizations, membership is required for participation. Attendees must represent a member historical organization in order to attend the Alliance meeting in the morning. The afternoon workshops are open to ALL! There is a fee to attend the History Skills Workshops. To further the educational experience of the Alliance meetings, a separate three-hour History Skills Workshop will be offered in the afternoon.

There is a fee to attend the History Skills Workshops, which are open to members and nonmembers alike.

Presenter Recommendation: Amanda Bulgarelli of Positive Approach to Care
by Brandi Tambasco 07 Oct '19

07 Oct '19

This past weekend, the Howell Carnegie District Library had the second of 2 seminars on dementia awareness led by Amanda Bulgarelli of Positive Approach to Care <https://teepasnow.com/>. Both seminars were well attended, with Amanda speaking about "Normal Aging vs. Not-Normal Aging" at the first one in September, and "What is Dementia?" at the second. The audience feedback was terrific for both and the staff, who sat in for each program, were impressed too. She had the audience voluntarily interacting: responding to questions, partaking in short role-play scenarios, and even singing along to a mnemonic device for how to treat people with dementia. Amanda was an excellent speaker, gave relevant and important information related to dementia, and was so easy to work with--no-hassle booking, great communication, and reasonable presenter fee. She also has other dementia-related presentations, so she's more than likely got a program appropriate for any library. We'd like to give a shout-out to TLN, since we discovered Amanda at the TLN's Adult Services Presenters Showcase last December. If you're interested in having Amanda Bulgarelli present at your library, she can be reached at amandab(a)teepasnow.com. Have a marvelous Monday, Brandi Brandi Tambasco Adult Services Librarian Pronouns: she, her, hers Howell Carnegie District Library 314 W Grand River Howell, MI 48843 T: 517-546-0720 x131 F: 517-546-1494 tambasco(a)howelllibrary.org www.howelllibrary.org

by Joann Simmons 04 Oct '19

04 Oct '19

So I have been following the rubber band / tape issue this week. It's time to lay it to rest.There are rules to be followed and they are stated in the Policies that Sue Alt so kindly remindsus of, quite frequently actually. If everyone could follow the rules we would all be on the samepage and ILL life would be simple and easy.Just my 2 cents.Enjoy your weekend.
