Wednesday, July 23, 2008 - Race Relations Breakfast

Our fifth of the series "My Challenges with Race" will feature Claudya Mueller, Director of the Chattahoochee Valley Regional Library System. With degrees from Georgia State University and Emory University, and broad knowledge at all levels of library administration, Claudia orchestrated the design, development, building and now operation of the CVRLS since her coming to Columbus in 2001. Her broad experiences in the Midwest, East and South give her an interesting perspective on her work as she addresses the topic "The Influence of Race on the Development of the CVRLS."

The Race Relations Breakfasts are held at Ruth Ann's on Veterans Parkway. Breakfast begins at 7:30am and you are encouraged to bring a friend with you. $6.00 is asked of regular members.  First timers and visitors are our guests.
