Fwd: Self Defense Program
by Mary Ann DeKane 12 Nov '13

12 Nov '13

Please excuse this if you've already received it. I previously sent the email with a pdf flyer and it was rejected. I'd like to resend for those of you looking for great programming ideas. Here is my original email: Hello Everyone, We had a wonderful Self-Defense workshop with Lee Shaykhet, creator of specialized methods of self defense on 9/30/13. He is a wonderful speaker, very bright and knowledgeable is also very funny and engaged the entire audience. I still have people coming back to thank me for hosting the program. He sold all of his books at the program. He's very easy to work with, his rates are negotiable; he would love to provide his workshop in different libraries. He recently gave an inservice and trained the staff at Lyon Township. I spoke to Michelle Fields and said he was delightful, they loved him. We are going to have him back in the winter/spring for a few more programs. If you have a question about his rates, you can contact me off the list, or contact him at Lee Shaykhet Shaykhet Training shaykhettraining.com lee(a)shaykhettraining.com 248.761.5632 Here's some of the information from the flyer from our program... It’s a well known fact that a crime could happen to anyone at anytime. If it happened to you what would you do? Can you defend yourself? Now is asgood a time as any to learn! Join us on Monday, September 30 at 7:00 pm in the Friend’s Auditorium for a workshop with Lee Shaykhet, creator of specialized methods of self-defense. Mr. Shaykhet will teach you how to defend yourself, as well as get in shape in as little as ten minutes a day. Mr. Shaykhet was born in Moscow, and early in his career trained members of the former Soviet Army. He has provided self defense and fitness instruction to law enforcement agencies, military organizations, and security and consulting companies all over the United States and Canada. He has also trained body guards for special events. Traditional self defense systems are normally complicated and require lots of practice, thus too hard for everyday citizens to follow and maintain. Mr. Shaykhet’s program is uncomplicated, based on natural instinct, and does not require a lot of practice. His fitness training originated from training the military; no equipment is required and it can be done anywhere, regardless of your current physical condition. Mr. Shaykhet was contacted as a self defense and security expert for an exclusive interview with Fox 2 Detroit, where he discussed the Boston Marathon Bombings and Profiling in America. Lee will also be promoting his recently published book, *Simple Self-Defense Techniques Everyone Should Know.* Please let me know if you have any questions.

Open Meetings Act question
by Dave Ewick 12 Nov '13

12 Nov '13

Does anyone have a 1-2 page summary of the Open Meetings Act? I'd like to have a single sheet to hand out to my board members for their Trustee binders; something that is quick and easy to use as a reminder. Board members sometimes use email between board meetings to keep up to date on issues - this is touched upon in the OMA, but I am still uncomfortable with how far behind the times the OMA lags. I'd like to be able to put that reminder right at our fingertips. Thanks, Dave David L. Ewick City Librarian Southfield Public Library 26300 Evergreen Southfield, Michigan 48076 248 796-4300 dewick(a)sfldlib.org P Please consider the environment before printing this e-mail.

Happy Monday! Please forward to anyone you think might be interested, and thanks! November 11, 2014 For immediate release Contact: Heidi Nagel, Communications Manager Kent District Library hnagel(a)kdl.org<mailto:hnagel@kdl.org> 616-647-4146 (office) 616-490-9399 (cell) Time is Running Out to Enter the Second Annual Write Michigan Short Story Contest Comstock Park, Mich. - The clock is ticking: today marks three weeks until the deadline to enter the second annual Write Michigan Short Story Contest. The contest, which includes cash prizes of up to $250 and publication for winners in children, teen and adult categories, is sponsored by Kent District Library, Schuler Books & Music, Pooh's Corner and Capital Area District Libraries in Lansing. Nearly 600 Michigan writers entered in its inaugural year. The goal this year is to receive 1,000 short story submissions for Write Michigan, said Heidi Nagel, KDL communications manager. "At this time, we still have fewer than 200 stories submitted, but the website visits are nearly double what we experienced over the same period last year. It wouldn't surprise me to have several hundred stories come in very close to the deadline as people tweak and tweak until their stories are perfect." Online voting to determine Readers' Choice winners runs January 6 - 31, and a panel of judges will determine the recipient of the Judges' Choice award. Winners will be honored during an awards ceremony at the Kentwood (Richard L. Root) KDL branch at 2:00 PM on March 22, 2014. The awards ceremony will feature a keynote address by author Kentwood native Kristina Riggle. Her fifth novel, The Whole Golden World, is published by HarperCollins this month. Riggle will also write the foreword to the 2014 Write Michigan Anthology of winning stories, to be published by Schuler Books & Music in a Chapbook Press book.
