SPEAKER: Gail Baugniet ­– gave us a great overview and tour of GoodReads.

1. SPEAKING ENGAGEMENT UPDATES: The class you will be speaking for is in the Krauss building room 113 and 111 (rooms joined)

• The rear of Krauss Hall backs up to Dole street

• A simple rectangular room with space for about 30 (but that would be crowded)

• You sit on the long side of the room so it is only a few long rows deep of chairs.

• The students are age 50 plus, some are authors and others wanna-be's -Some just there to learn

• Very casual atmosphere

• You can have a power-point if you want- it is not required, necessary so don't feel obligated

• Your choice to run the class as you see fit.

• I did not have a power-point-I wanted the class to watch me and not read stuff. It helped me connect with them better.

• Katharine did, but she had photos and other things that made her talk need a power-point

• You may have handouts if you like

• If you have a power-point you must notify and e-mail it to Will Cecil no later than the day before. olliuhm@hawaii.edu

• Parking is awful. Took me 40 min and Katharine 1 hour to park

• There is a garage across the street but it closes early. Definitely by or before 10

• In the campus lots you can park only in green stalls and pay the machine.

• SAVE PARKING RECEIPT. You will need to mail it back to them to be reimbursed.

• We had about 10 students.

• There was a big event the day we talked to ... on the following days (when there is no other event) there may be better parking and more students.

• The director felt that think some students did not come because the parking was almost impossible

• I sold 4 Dark Paradise books, I don't know about Katharine

• You have one hour but there must be a 15 in break between the 10 and the 11 class talks.

• Remember we are here on behalf of Sisters in Crime National - so introduce SinC and offer them to join our meetings or join SinC. Also tell them about us-our meetings-outings ...

• I will attach the SinC benefits again to help and SinC membership form (bring several copies)

• So give about 15 min at end of your hour for Q&A, book sales and break.

• There is coffee and water available for you.
