These were some shots from the AzLA conference from April 2006. The shots include Linda Lanctot and Donna Hopkins enjoying conference; the gift baskets that were raffled off as door prizes (the largest one was created by our own Terry Morris); Jana Baumersbach, emcee for the conference; Gary J Sprague and his 'partner', Dusty, who appeared inside the building. Dusty tried to steal Jana's breakfast while Gary sang songs for our entertainment.

Ken Brooks, who appeared at our meeting Jan 9, 2006. What an interesting life he has led! He worked in the radiobroadcast industry, the infancy of the television industry, met some famous people, and traveled to all seven continents. He told just a few stories of the places he has seen and people he met. He currently is a travel correspondent for the Payson Roundup and is an afternoon broadcaster for KMOG radio.

Library's volunteer dinner. The first photo is of guests at the tables decorated by Terry Morris. The second one is Barb Brenke at the food line. We enjoyed the potluck meal very much. Everyone outdid themselves creating beautiful and tasty dishes. Terry and her staff provided the turkey and ham main courses. Each volunteer received a small gift and a card signed by all the library employees. After lunch, special door prizes were issued. It was a great day for us all.

Dot is known for her humor, her cowboy poetry, and her use of Arizona history as a source for songs and stories. She has written a number of books and has three recordings of western classics and original songs and poems. Her books and recordings were available for sale at the meeting after her performance.

Nan Pyle Award 2007

The Library Friends of Payson Bookstore is proud to announce that former manager, Mary Lou Lopez-Miller, and assistant manager, Jeanne Schoonover, have received the Nan Pyle Distinguished Service Award.
