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.


You can register online or print a registration form here. If you have trouble registering or have any questions, please contact Linda Pierce at LPierce1@kettering.edu or (810) 762-9840.

If you would like to also attend the Trustee Alliance workshop (with special guest speaker Josie Parker) on Friday, April 15th, you can register online here.

Remember, 2016 FOML members receive a discount. (If you haven't renewed your membership yet, you can do so here.) And if you want to attend BOTH workshops, you save even more.

I hope to see you at the FOML Friends Spring Workshop and Fred Ruffner Symposium!

Paul Snyder, President
