FWIW, folks: While I'm not disparaging cruises, I do think our monies are better spent supporting those official organizations that can represent us to the larger public. Attending a *conference* sponsored by an official organization, such as AASL or your state library association IS considered tax-deductible. OTOH. attending a cruise/gathering for an assemblage of folks who belong to an *informal* (e.g., unsponsored, as in unregistered with the IRS) organization such as LM_Net is NOT considered a business or educational tax expense by TPTB. I've met LM_Netters in all kinds of places, including both "official" and spontaneous gatherings at several state and national conferences. I know that many of the workshop topics at this year's AASL will reflect concerns and topics that are frequently discussed here. In the long run, however, I think we (all) get more credibility by saying we attended an LM_Net function at (fill in the blank)'s annual conference, than at Carnival Cruise Lines. Just my humble opinion...
