Thanks to everyone who attended the December 12 Research Basics Bootcamp at Northeastern University! Unfortunately, the other event scheduled for December--a public speaking workshop--had to be canceled. Don't worry, though: there's more programming just around the corner.

Next month, we kick off a year of celebration! In honor of NEDRA's 30th anniversary, we will be holding events all over New England for NEDRA members to get together and celebrate 30 years of learning together, working, and raising the profile of our industry, as an organization. The first scheduled celebration will be on January 24 in Providence, RI at Ogie's Trailer Park. The next will be on January 27 in Mystic, CT, at the Engine Room. Celebrations in western Massachusetts, Maine, Vermont, and the Boston area will follow later in the season. Join us for as many of these evenings of fun and networking as you like, because we know that NEDRA members like a good party as much as anyone!

On January 27, the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute will be hosting a Resource Refresh Think Tank. Are your organization's resources becoming dated and in need of updating? Have you recently found some new treasure troves of information that you'd like to share with your colleagues? Come participate in this Think Tank, and build up a great reading list for the new year!
