President's Message i !
I am very much looking forward to our 27th Grand Conclave, to \
take place August 27-31, 2009 at the Wyndham Princeton Forrestal
Hotel and Conference Center in Princeton, New Jersey, hosted by
MBS member Jim Brogan. Registration information is available
elsewhere in this issue of the MBS Newsletter. Jim has designed a
schedule of events for us-including some time on the campus of /
Princeton University-that promises to be interesting, educational '
and fun! Please plan to attend. ALrk l,/kovic
If you have never attended a conclave before, I guarantee that you'll quickly make many new
friends. I look forward to seeing you in Princeton!
Editor's Note
One more plea--actually a series of them! As usual we are hoping for volunteers to help out
at the Princeton Conclave. You don't have to be terribly organized; just willing. We often
recruit people as they show up since life carries no guarantees, especially with travel plans.
Also please be generous with donations for the Auction, the Silent Auction, and what I so
gracelessly refer to as freebies. That's for the Keepsakes bag that everyone looks forward to
each year. It is always fun to see what incredibly clever items people manage to create.
Caroline Lindemann is doing a brief series on her memories of Conclaves past, as well as
providing the cover photos from her visits. This should jog some happy memories in other
attendees or at least give you a glimpse into what you may have missed.
And you don't want to miss out this year or in the future. It seems that each Conclave just
gets better and better, as do the offerings from miniature book publishers. I am trying to save
as much as possible for visiting those display tables. If you haven't been to a Conclave you
will understand what I mean when you see all the tempting creations laid out for you. See
you there!
Welcome to FABS!
Congratulations to all of us as we are now members of the Fellowship of American
Bibliophiles Society (FABS). For us this means a copy of their twice a year publication which
goes to the other 31 Book Club members nationally, and to nine international Book Clubs.
Our message will appear in each edition and reaches about 9500 people, all of whom are
interested in the printed word. I am the representative for the MBS as well as the Book
Club of Detroit. In 2007 I approached the FABS Executive Committee with an attempt to
tweak their interest in MBS. They gave me permission to approach the MBS Board, which
I did in San Diego in 2008. We became ofEcially members on April 2, 2009, at the annual
FABS Board meeting in New York City at the Grolier Club, where we were accepted by
acclimation. Now the mission of the MBS will gain a much broader audience, and hopefully,
some exciting new members.
