GVR and Area Chairs Corner

Connie G. from Area 7 writes in to say that she attended ACYPAA in Fresno, Calif. from March 14 - 17 this year. She spoke with many attendees about ebooks and audio uploads.

To help explain Grapevine's new audio project, they printed instructions from the website and also showed people how to navigate www.aagrapevine.org and how to sign up for the free daily quote.

All GV area chairs are encouraged to submit event information, photos or great ideas. Please send your news to gvrc@aagrapevine.org.
