ARLIS/Southeast Hosting 1996 ARLIS/NA Meeting in Miami Beach.

Discussion: Any money accumulated in our account will be needed for expenses involved with hosting the national. Jim Findlay is in charge of local arrangements. Lee Sorensen is in charge of events planning. There will be a 24-month planner to help organize all the arrangements. A conference planner may be used. ALA is meeting in Miami next year. This may give us some ideas of the type of problems to expect. We should expect from 300 - 500 members to attend. The conference can look to Mexico, the Caribbean, and South America for ideas.

Twentieth Anniversary of ARLIS/SE: Stephen Patrick has been researching the history of the chapter. He has information on 17 out of nineteen meetings. Stephen requested all information, newsletters and meetings concerning the past of the chapter be sent to him to fill in "black holes" in the chapter's history. We planned to make an announcement at the Providence Meeting of ARLIS/NA.
