President's Report to MBS
Because of the efforts of Joan Knoertzer, and approved by
the MBS Board of Governors meeting at the San Diego
Conclave, the MBS is now a member of the Fellowship of
American Bibliophilic Societies (FABS). MBS members
will receive the FABS Newsletter twice a year beginning in
2009. With over 40 member clubs, FABS is an organization
with a goal of keeping member clubs informed of news,
events, publications, and activities that take place during
the year in the world of books. And, of course, other book
collectors will be aware of the existence of MBS as a resultark Ial
Mark P alkovicof this new partnership. Thanks again to Joan for her work on behalf of the MBS.
Yearbook editor Jim Brogan and Treasurer and Membership Officer Karen Nyman have
been compiling the 2009 Yearbook which will be in your hands shortly. There are a few
changes in committee memberships: Angelika Jaeck is chair of the Awards Committee,
with Frank Anderson and Barbara Williamson as additional members; and Gabrielle
Fox is chair of the Nominating Committee, with Evron Collins and James Reid-
Cunningham as additional members. Phil Morrison has agreed to serve as a member of
the Miniature Book Publishing Committee. Thanks to these volunteers and to the many
others who serve the MBS. Plans are underway for a wonderful meeting August 27-31,
2009 at Princeton, New Jersey, hosted by Jim Brogan. Jim has some great things planned
for us--please plan to attend! The 2010 Grand Conclave is being planned to take place in
Lexington, Kentucky September 2-7, and hosted by new member Kathleen Bryson and
colleagues from the University of Kentucky. Paul Holbrook, director of the University
of Kentucky's King Library Press has promised to provide us with a tour. In addition,
James Birchfield, Curator of Books at UK Libraries' Special Collections Program will be
on hand to share his collections' treasures. In 2010, Lexington will be the host city for
the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games September 25 to October 10. Lexington has
been preparing for an expected ticket sales of 600,000 for this event, so the hotels and
merchants should have everything shined up and ready for us!mbs newsletter march 2009 3
