Daily Thoughts 12/16/2010 (library, budget)

Daily Thoughts 12/16/2010

Today is a quiet day.  I checked the displays and am going to be speaking with the SCORE small business counselor.

There is a certain amount of trepidation in not being able to go to the board meeting last night because I was working.  The board meeting ran until midnight.  There is a lot which I would like to know about.  Maybe, I will learn it later today.

Ernie Garcia who writes for the Westchester Journal News was at the City Council Budget Meeting on November 14, 2010.  I am waiting for an article to come out on the meeting in the paper.

If you have not done so, please consider sending a letter in support of the Mount Vernon Public Library http://www.voteyesforourlibrary.org/mtvernon

I am going to try and get to the TechDrinks XXmas! party at Amity Hall this evening so I can do some networking.  I think it will be useful.  It is part of the New Work City Coworking Community.

Sometimes you wish that you can afford some of the latest conferences.  I wish I could have afforded the Mediabistro Ebooks Summit this Wednesday, but I have to be careful with my money.  Right now, I can afford many of the meetup type presentations and some of the other one day conferences that are sponsored by different companies.

When I came home from the Meetup, there was an article posted on the Lower Hudson Political Blog on the Mount Vernon Public Library Board Meeting. http://polhudson.lohudblogs.com/2010/12/16/mount-vernon-library-not-closing-dec-31/
