SEAALAS Newsletter June 2006 SEAALAS Newsletter June 2006 ONLY ONE MORE SEAALAS NEWSLETTER REMAINING!!!!!! Ok, So I have gotten your attention! The September newsletter will be the last issue to go out in the mail. After this all future newsletters will be sent via email or found on the SEAALAS website.

Please make sure that Robin Kavanaugh ([email protected]) has the email address of you and your employees so no one misses an issue SUPERVISORS, if your employees don’t have email access, please make copies for them each quarter. 1 C ALENDAR OF E VENTS SEAALAS 1 -- Deadline to apply for AALAS Certification Exam 2006 OFFICERS July Grant 19 -- September JAALAS President: Kim Benjamin Submission Deadline 1 -- Deadline for Officer and President-Elect: Chris Carter BoD Nominations 15 -- Submission Deadline August Past President: Kevin Cormier for September Newsletter 15 -- Election Ballots Mailed Secretary: Amy Phillips 1 -- September Newsletter Treasurer: Lloyd Roberts Published September 18 -- November JAALAS Submission Deadline 30 - Election Deadline 2006 Directors: 1 -- Deadline for 2006 Branch A Melody Willey Applications Dean Blake 15 -- Election Results John Duktig October Tabulated Allison Smith 15-19 -- AALAS National Meeting, Salt Lake City Utah 15 -- Submission Deadline Executive Director: Robin Kavanaugh November for December Newsletter 1 -- December Newsletter Committee Chairs: Published December 1 -- New Officers Announced Awards: Ginger Peters 15 -- Membership Renewal TBR: Peg Rentz Letters Mailed Nominations/Elections: Selina Sumner Legislative: Ruth Connelly Commercial vendor: Alice McVey Communications: Pam Rudd PLEASE: Visit our Web Site: Web Site: Chris Carter To Contribute Information or make comments, contact Chris Carter @[email protected] 2 From the President: With summer quickly approaching, I am realizing that half of 2006 is gone. Even though it seems to have flown by quickly, a lot has been accomplished. The board has met two times since the January meeting and we have finally finished the SOP’s!!! Kevin Cormier started this project when he was the President in 2005, and we trotted through until we were done. I want to personally thank Robin, Pam, Kevin, Allison, Dean, Marsha, Chris, Amy, Lloyd, Melody, Kristina and Samm for all the time you put into this project. Back in February, we lost Linda Hazel who was a dedicated member of SEAALAS and had just begun her 2 year term as Director. I was just getting to know Linda but I am going to miss her desire for service. An award has been set up in her memory by Charles River so that her life will continue to be a testament to careers in Lab Animal Science. This award, along with all other SEAALAS awards is included in the newsletter. Please take the time to nominate a deserving coworker or fellow SEAALAS member. The Program committee chaired by Marsha Howard has been meeting since March and we have a great program for next years meeting. It is going to be here in my hometown (at least for the past 10 years) and we hope to have a great turnout. Thank you to everyone who has helped me out over the past 6 months and I look forward to the rest of the year! 3 Its time again for Nominations for SE/AALAS!!!!! Hello all SE/AALAS members!

Because the main role of the SG is supporting the prisoners, the newsletter can often come over a little negative, dealing as it does with issues like arrests, court cases, prison conditions etc. But we should bear in mind that prison support is not just important for those particular prisoners, it is vital to the success of the whole animal liberation movement. To paraphrase several earlier writers involved in social struggles, any movement that does not support its political internees is a movement destined to fail. At the recent AR2009 International Animal Rights Gathering in Oslo, one of the three days was devoted to the theme of repression of the movement, and how to overcome it. We heard about how repression, which used to be mostly restricted to the UK and USA, was now spreading to other countries, such as Holland and Austria, and we heard of disturbing links between our government and theirs on the subject of how to tackle animal rights “extremists”.
