How I spent my Winter Vacation
I was at 2 meetings today. One was in Long Beach at a college and the other in Burbank at the new ASIFA center.
The first is what is called in the trade an In-Service, a teacher / administration meeting driven by administration telling teachers things they think we need to know. Yeah, the paperwork is important but it is not what I am into teaching for. Below is a little bit of what I got out of the first meeting.
Notes from the meeting
I enjoyed the other meeting a lot more. The board meeting was cool with lots of projects coming together. The energy in the room was electric. Everybody was excited and reporting on things that they had been working on.
The Annies are on track. The ballots mail on the 12th. (I`ve had some phone calls and e-mails from members on this subject, so here is your answer) The Annie screenings are scheduled and will be announced here tomorrow after they are completely locked in.
There are a lot of exciting things coming our way for 2005. The AFI screenings are returning, maybe as soon a February. The move is coming up this month. I will be begging for warm bodies soon. The archives is coming together. It is so close that I can almost taste it. I've got my white gloves all ready.
Since this was the first board meeting of the year there was an election of ASIFA officers with all of the current officers retaining their offices. Tom Sito was still in Europe, leaving the country didn`t work Tom we re-elected you anyhow. All and all a lot was accomplished and I came home feeling good about myself. Something that does not always happen at yee old college In-Service.
