[LM_NET] FWD: ALA 2005 Election Demographics -- Reminder to Vote

[Sara Kelly Johns <sarakellyjohns@YAHOO.COM>]

I find Blanche Woolls' demographics of ALA Council
candidates very interesting and see them as another
reason to get our ballots in before April 22nd.

With the help of LM_NET members who responded to my
post and the candidates' statements, I'm ready to
vote! Hope you are, too.

Thanks, Sara Kelly Johns
