2018 WMCA “Super Clerks” 38th Annual Conference

WELCOME TO TITLETOWN SUPER HEROES

On behalf of the Conference Commi ee, we are excited to host the 38th Annual WMCA Confer‐ence. The City of Green Bay and surrounding are‐as offer many opportuni es for an enjoyable ex‐perience. Brown County is the proud home of the World Champi‐on Green Bay Packers, but that’s not all we have to offer. Green Bay and the neighboring munici‐pali es have walking trails that follow the Fox River, bike trails that go for miles, bou ques and fine ea ng establishments.

We encourage you to come early or stay an extra day to experience the many ameni es we have to offer. Downtown Green Bay has unique specialty shops, a city deck where people gather during the summer to listen to music and the Neville Museum. Whether you want to relax on the Foxy Lady, go to the Meyer Theater or Weidner Center, Green Bay has something for you. Just a short ride and you could enjoy the new Titletown Park which has a world class park—tested and approved by children from all over the state and most likely from all over the globe. Who else could come up with a world class park, than a world class football team? We are also the home of the Green Bay Bull Frogs, Green Bay Gamblers, the Botanical Gardens, the Resch Center and the Shopko Expo Hall. For more infor‐

ma on check out the Greater Green Bay Area Chamber of Commerce site at h ps://greatergbc.org/

On Wednesday evening, our President has a Su‐per night planned—that only Super Clerks would

enjoy! If you love to laugh and want to experience what it feels like to be a Superhero, you won’t want to miss this special evening. We can assure you that you won’t be disappointed.

So, grab your capes, masks, Mjölnir, Batmobile or Lasso of Truth and meet us at the Radisson. We hope you will rise to the occasion and join the Su‐per Clerks of Wisconsin in August for what is sure to be a memorable week of educa on and fun.

We can’t wait to see everyone.

What would you give up to achieve your dream? When J. P. Morgan hired Belle da

Costa Greene in 1905 to organize his rare book and manuscript collec on, she had

only her personality and a few years of experience to recommend her. Ten years later,

she had shaped the famous Pierpont Morgan Library collec on and was a proto‐

celebrity in New York and the art world, renowned for her self‐made exper se, her

acerbic wit, and her flirta ous rela onships. Born to a family of free people of color,

Greene changed her name and invented a Portuguese grandmother to enter white

society. In her new world, she dined both at the tables of the highest society and with

bohemian ar sts and ac vists. She also engaged in a decades‐long affair with art cri c

Bernard Berenson. Greene is pure fascina on—the buyer of illuminated manuscripts

who a racted others to her like moths to a flame.
