MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR
by Deborah Norwood, LISP Chair
Its December and I'm pondering what to write for the chairs column in the LISP newsletter. I reread earlier issues of the
newsletter and found Lee Warthen's column for the July 2001 issue particularly poignant. Lee's message ends with a
reminder that LISP is all about having a heart for little people, with little legal problems.
I encourage all of us to help not only those directly impacted by the catastrophic events of September 11 but to help each
other and to remember to help the little people, with little legal problems.
On a lighter note, we are rolling along towards the AALL annual meeting in Orlando in July 2002 and I look forward to seeing
you there. Mark your calendars for the LISP annual business meeting, scheduled for Sunday, July 21, from 5:30 - 6:30 p.m.
Use this opportunity to meet other LISPers and to contribute to the success of LISP and its mission. You will have plenty of
time to make the opening reception/event so please plan to attend the business meeting. If there is an item you would like
considered for the meeting's agenda, please let me know.
Although my column isn't due for another month, I'm writing it early because I'm moving to Washington D.C. As of January
22, 2002, I'll be working at the Bums Law Library at George Washington University as the Assistant Director for Public
Services. I'll let you know how you can reach me as soon as I'm settled. For 2002, may we all find peace and prosperity.
Wishing you joy and contentment in all that you do.
