Fall 2008 Events
ALA-SC Fundraiser:
Here is a great opportunity to help support future librarians. As a fund raiser, the ALA Student Chapter is proud to announce that it is selling plastic-lined thermal travel mugs. Some reasons why we are excited about this mug:
- Sleek design, decorated with our LIS logo
- Keeps your beverage hot or cold for hours
- Eliminates the use of wasteful disposable paper cups
- Proceeds will help fund brown bags and other professional panels, the graduation dinner, and other social events As the holiday season approaches, may we suggest that these mugs would make great presents for friends and family?
Prices are very reasonable: one for $10, two for$18. A sample, along with order forms, ARE ON DISPLAY NOW in Bilger 319.
How can you get a hold of these mugs? Contact either Joyce Tokuda (jtokuda@hawaii.edu) or Karen Brown (brownke@hawaii.edu) in person or by email. Alternatively, fill out and mail the attached order form to receive mugs by mail, or drop it in the ALA-SC mailbox in the LIS office.
Payment can be made by check (made out to ALA-SC) or cash, and we will have the mugs on campus for easy pick-up.
Thank you for your continued support of librarianship,
ALA-SC Fund Raising Committee
