ACRL in SL Meeting this Sunday

It's been a while since the ACRL in SL group has met - we've all been far
too busy with our rl work!  The ALA Island is under construction so I'd
like to invite you to  join me at the Wine Library on Cybrary2 for a
meeting on Sunday, Sept 24, 11am SLT.  We'll discuss setting up a regular
meeting time, plan some tours and programs for coming months, and chat
about all sorts of things.


It's fall and the grapes need crushing!  Come on over on Sunday.

Where: Seanchai Library

 Description:


As a public service, Kayden is going to give lessons on the Minnesotan
language, for anyone who may be planning a visit there in the future, and
wishes to be able to talk with the natives.  Some of the topics to be
covered are: learn how to refuse food three times before accepting it,
discover the difference between "not too bad a deal" and "a heckuva deal",
and the use of the general phrase "It could be worse".  Yah sure, it's a
pretty good deal.  Kayden will be sharing these lessons from the book "How
to Talk Minnesotan" by Howard Mohr, in voice of course.
