Katie Baxter, who is the co-president of the NYLS Chapter has been helping me a bunch with organizing the conference, so here's a shout out to her: thank you! We're working on securing a venue for the after party. As always, I welcome any feedback/comments/suggestions, so just voice them! On a separate, but related note, the website is up, but currently under construction on the backend. We're drafting up a new Wordpress template and changing the look of our home page. The main difference (at least on the homepage) will be a slide show of images to put some face behind the organization. If anyone has pictures from previous conferences, campus events, or other free culture-related events, please send them my way! Thanks all. Stay tuned for my next update. Cheers, Jennifer
