Meeting friends, both old and new, networking, discussing programs and common concerns is an important part of what makes LOEX of the West such a popular conference.

They fed us well too!

Janet and Beth had lots of door prizes.

A happy winner, Sharon Chadwick, Humboldt State University.

Some attendees made time to visit the Albertson Library and take in the view of the Green Belt. The Friendship Bridge across the Boise River links to the Julia Davis Park with the zoo and rose gardens.  That's where the picnic was held.

Friday evening was spent in the park enjoying a Basque dinner with special entertainment from a local Basque dance group.

Volunteers from Boise State joined us at the picnic.  Dan and Gail Lester.

Heading home after a great conference!
