Well, I've evidently been a member of RR for one year and 36 weeks, and so far, I haven't done very much. I did attend ALA in New Orleans, and I was present at our gathering in that cool little bar, but since then, I've been swamped, busy finishing up my MLS and having a baby. Now I am a newly-minted librarian with lots of experience organizing and managing projects and special events (from previous lives/careers) and since I am a stay-at-home mom, I have some time on my hands each day to either contribute to an online project, or I to meet in person on an occasional basis somewhere that is baby friendly in the DC area.

So... are there any other RR activists/members out there living and working in and around DC who would want to meet up in person to discuss forming a local collective? Does one already exist? If so, I apologize for being out of the loop.

Any interested parties can e-mail me at abbygwu@gmail.com. Let's see if we can't get together in person to brainstorm, see where our vendiagrams cross, and put our energies towards something productive.

Best wishes,
