Re: no handouts at GWA talks

**"* M* <B*@verizon.net>**

GWA did not pass out paper handouts at the seminars at the annual meeting in 
Indiana this year, as they used to, although individual speakers may have 
provided their own, or at least that was my impression. In earlier years I 
would pick up a few handouts from concurrent sessions.

It is a very nice member benefit now that handouts are available on the GWA 
website.

Naturally many paper handouts go to waste, but some are saved. I have some 
gems from previous years. Unused ones are compostable, of course. Handouts 
are something like advertising. If a business knew in advance which 
particular ones were going to work they would not bother spending money on 
the others.

When I spoke on publishing at the regional meeting in Boston last February 
at New England Grows I printed handouts at home and brought them along. That 
was a smaller crowd than that at an annual meeting. Surely my honorary 
sister, Mary Kate Mackey, will have a terrific paper handout and worksheet 
for her workshop at this year's GWA regional event in Boston.

Happy New Year, everyone!
