CONGRATULATIONS!

The congratulations go to the cohort members who have or will graduate in 2009. Our celebration at the Waynesboro Country Club was classy and yet fun and festive.

Now we look to 2010 and the ones who will finish spring '10, summer '10, or fall '10 (December graduation). I won't ask for a show of hands yet but it won't be long until I will want to begin gathering numbers.

The cohort continues to take in members as others graduate. When you began the program, you knew you had 4 years to complete it. That has not changed but an extension is possible if you use the form that will allow that to happen.

Keep up the good work! I hear some grand things about the students in the WVVA Cohort. I know the work can be demanding in the midst of family, children, and job but an MLIS should not come without both a monetary price and a sacrificial price.

If you need me, my email address never changes: wallybug@bellsouth.net.
