Hi, All,

I got my postcard from ALA last week with the notification of the
dates for the e-mail blast (Mar. 17-19)  with login information, the
"Call to Action" postcard from AASL in today's mail, and my web ballot
e-mail with election login info and now it's time to do my research to
vote wisely. President-Elect Cassandra Barnett and I want to make it
easier for you to raise your voice in ALA and AASL by voting. We have
8700 possible votes and, if everyone voted, AASL would have a LOUD
voice for school library issues and concerns.

The polls open today, St. Patick's Day, and close on April 24th. All
voting is online, you can start your ballot, save it and log in later
to finish it. Take a look at the links below and vote wisely and
LOUDLY to support our issues.
