Wednesday October 1st 7:30PM - 9:30 PM:   Archiving Your Precious Memories

Our sister chapter, the West Valley Chapter of Mothers & More, invites you to join us for a very special discussion with Archivist Alison. Alison Langmead is an archivist/records and information manager by profession, which means she helps groups of people organize, describe and maintain access to their information, both past and present, active and inactive. She holds a Ph.D. in Art History from Columbia University as well as an MLIS with a concentration in archival studies from UCLA. She has also taken an interest in the ways that individuals can come to understand how information makes an important impact on their personal lives. Alison is a regular guest on podcasts such as Manic Mommies and Jumping Monkeys. So what does all this mean for you as a mom? Well, Alison can help suggest ways to tackle those piles of artwork from your child's school. She can tell you the best approach to archiving those precious family photos whether they be physical or digital. She can offer ideas on new ways to approach putting together baby books. She can answer everything from your most basic to your most technical questions about storing and maintaining your valuable information over time. She'll be delivering a talk specially tailored for our group along with taking your questions. Don't miss this great opportunity to get a better handle on all the things that capture your child's development. For more information on Alison you go to www.archivistalison.com.

Space is limited. To RSVP and obtain specific directions please email jkurtznotary@yahoo.com or call 818.880.0178 no later than Friday 9/26/08. The event will be held in the Westfield Topanga Mall area. More information can be found at our sister chapter's site www.westvalleymothersandmore.com
