So, I realize we are a great volunteer organization with lots of trustworthy folks -- but this is something where if you are going to be offering child care, it cannot be by committee or volunteer. For an event like this, you will need to use someone that has been background checked and would need to be someone trained to deal with medical issues and handling special needs. Fortunately, the Oregon State University Library has a relationship with a group that offers child care to students while they are in the library -- I'm wondering if that group could be hired to provide care for this event if this was something folks wanted. --TR -----Original Message----- From: Code for Libraries [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Salazar, Christina Sent: Wednesday, August 13, 2014 5:40 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [CODE4LIB] ACTION REQUESTED: Volunteer for 2015 Conference Committees YESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!! Anyone else? And I am willing to help out in whatever capacity. (You probably don't want me taking care of your kids though.) The typical obstacle that I've seen in helping/offering childcare has been insurance stuff. Just for whatever THAT'S worth...

If so I'll propose and lead a childcare committee (seeing as I'm almost local to it.)
