Below Lone Tree Peer Review Group (Ongoing event)
The Below Lone Tree Peer Review Group is an informal group of people interested in indexing. We review indexes submitted prior to the meeting for discussion during the meeting and sometimes address an indexing topic as well. Newcomers and drop-ins are always welcome. For more information or to submit an index for review, please contact Donna Drialo at DMDrialo@aol.com.
The Chapter meets about three times each year, usually in Boulder, Louisville, Lafayette, Denver, Castle Rock, or Colorado Springs, Colorado. Members attend meetings from all parts of Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Kansas, and other surrounding states.
If you have an idea for a workshop or meeting that would be of interest to other indexers, please let us know about it! Please contact any of the officers of the Chapter with your suggestions.
Each fall, usually in September or October, we sponsor a full-day workshop on a topic of interest to indexers.
