Good food, good conversation and good stories

SLMSSENY members enjoy dinner and stories by Carol Birch at the Captain's Table in Monroe, NY.
A good time was had by all.  We lucked out with cold temperatures but ... no precipitation.  Yeah!  Some folks arrived a little early to enjoy shopping at Woodbury Commons where I understand there were some great bargains... shoes purchased with a teacher's discount of 15%.  Dinner was really lovely in our private party room.  Following dessert, Carol Birch regaled us with tales of books, authors, and librarians.  Mostly we talked shop as librarians are wont to do.  All in all, the evening was a success!
