Brian, Hi. I will be facilitating the Archiving section, is there anything specific I should cover? I've never done anything like this and would be interested to know expectations, wishes, etc. Thanks.

Dani, Hi, no expectations just bring your knowledge of archiving to start a group discussion on the topic. To let you know that the rooms have wi-fi and computer overheads, the works. Were also getting easel with large notepads for note taking. Would you need anything else? It should be fun day at camp.

Thank you, Brian. I think you have listed everything I will need. I am definitely looking forward to getting to meet everyone and have a fun time learning, listening and sharing.
