I'm Back...I Think

After over a year without posting, I want to get back to blogging about all things IAAP. I am hopeful that I can be more consistent with my posts and I hope that others will enjoy hearing of my adventures in IAAP land. If you actually read this blog, let me know (either in the comments or email me offlist).

I have a really exciting year coming up and can't wait to share my experiences with you!

Michigan Division Annual Meeting Photos Now Online

Did you miss attending the Michigan Division Annual Meeting in Kalamazoo on May 18 & 19?

All photo's from the 2007 Michigan Division Annual Meeting have been posted on the Scrapbook Page of the Michigan Division Web Site at www.iaapmichigan.org All pictures taken by Jan Gaulin, Michigan Division WebMaster are posted to the Kodak Gallery and will be accessed by the link as shown "Click on link for photo's." They are best viewed by hitting slideshow once you're on the Gallery. There are quite a few but all good!

Exciting news is that she was also able to post the Photo Show that was played at the end of the banquet. There are select pictures on the photo show but it's lots of fun to watch. Just click on the link that says "Click here to view Photo Show" It takes less than a minute for pics to load for viewing and 13 minutes to go through the whole show. This timing is if you are on high speed connection.

Enjoy!
