<br />8 <br /> <br />Tuesday Pre-Conference Workshops <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Athenian Dialogue – “Five Little Indians,” by Michelle Good <br />Anne Uecker, Speaker <br /> <br />Taken from their families when they are very small and sent to a remote, church-run residential school, Kenny, Lucy, Clara, <br />Howie and Maisie are barely out of childhood when they are finally released after years of detention. Alone and without any <br />skills, support or families, the teens find their way to the seedy and foreign world of Downtown Eastside Vancouver, where <br />they cling together, striving to find a place of safety and belonging in a world that doesn’t want them. The paths of the five <br />friends cross and crisscross over the decades as they struggle to overcome, or at least forget, the trauma they endured during <br />their years at the Mission. Fuelled by rage and furious with God, Clara finds her way into the dangerous, highly charged world <br />of the American Indian Movement. Maisie internalizes her pain and continually places herself in dangerous situations. <br />Famous for his daring escapes from the school, Kenny can’t stop running and moves restlessly from job to job—through <br />fishing grounds, orchards and logging camps—trying to outrun his memories and his addiction. Lucy finds peace in <br />motherhood and nurtures a secret compulsive disorder as she waits for Kenny to return to the life they once hoped to share <br />together. After almost beating one of his tormentors to death, Howie serves time in prison, then tries once again to re-enter <br />society and begin life anew. With compassion and insight, Five Little Indians chronicles the desperate quest of these <br />residential school survivors to come to terms with their past and, ultimately, find a way forward. <br />Excel Basics <br />Bob Bruce, Information Architect, Trista Technology, LLC. <br /> <br />Learning outcomes: <br />• Getting started: Exploring the Excel environment <br />• Navigating, managing worksheets, and views <br />• Worksheet layout, entering and modifying Data <br />• Creating formulas and using basic functions <br />• Formatting cells, themes and cell styles <br />• Printing worksheets <br /> <br /> <br />New City Clerk Orientation & Election Administration <br />Daphney Maras, City Clerk, City of Albert Lea, & Kary Tillmann, <br />City Clerk/Treasurer, City of Zimmerman <br />In this session, new clerks will receive a toolkit to learn more <br />about the following: <br />Role of a City Clerk | Election Administration | Official Notices - <br />Types | City Council | Minute Taking | Boards & Commissions | <br />Personnel/Human Resources | Finance | Liquor Licensing | <br />Building Permits | Planning and Zoning | Records Retention | <br />Data Practices and Policies | Codification of City Ordinances | <br />Tips from the Trenches <br /> <br /> <br />Full Day – 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM (Lunch included ) <br />Half Day – 1:00 to 4:30 PM <br />Full Day – 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM (Lunch included)
