St. Catherine University: SLA

Our silent auction fundraiser was successful again this year! Thank you to all who made it happen! Many information professionals and students braved the snowy evening on Monday, January 28, to be at the SLA-MN's annual holiday party, where our fundraiser was hosted. Held at the beautiful, historic James J. Hill Center, we mingled with other professionals and dined on delicious hors d'oeuvrs. We raised $712, which will go towards funding a scholarship for one student to attend the SLA national conference this year. Thank you St. Kate's MLIS students for attending, and thank you SLA-MN and MALL for organizing!

Join us for a night of celebrating and connecting with fellow information professionals! This is SLA-MN's popular annual holiday event that includes excellent hors d'oeuvres, opportunities to connect with other local special librarians and information professionals, and a silent auction organized by us, the MLIS Program's SLA Student Chapter. Proceeds from the auction support a Travel Award for one MLIS student to attend the Annual National SLA Conference, to be determined by an essay contest. We are currently in the process of soliciting donations from alumni, professionals, and businesses. We will need volunteers to help set up the silent auction on the day of the event! Please let us know if you are interested in helping with the silent auction. This year the event will be held at the beautiful James J. Hill Center in downtown St. Paul. Whether it's to support SLA, network, or enjoy the amazing setting, we hope to see you there! Click HERE to get tick

The annual SLA MN Holiday Party is fast approaching! The event is on  December 5, 2016 from 5:30 to 8:30 , at HGA Architects and Engineers, 420 5th Street North, Suite 100, Minneapolis, MN. The cost of the party is $20 for students, but SLA members have the option to sponsor students (and several donations have already been received). You will still need to register and pay $20, and depending on how many donations are received, there will be a drawing to reimburse students. This event is an excellent networking opportunity (with really good food and drinks). More details can be found here . Several people have asked about the possibility of a carpool from St. Kate's. Please send us an email if you are interested in carpooling to the party.  The SLA Student Group is responsible for putting on the Silent Auction to raise money for a St. Kate's student to attend the SLA Conference.

Date: Monday, December 7th Time: 5:30pm - 8:30pm Location: HGA Architects and Engineers (420 N 5th Street #100) Tomorrow is the much-anticipated SLA-MN Holiday Party and SLA Student Group silent auction. We have managed to acquire about 20-25 donations for the silent auction and are ready to put this thing into action. If you haven't yet, register for the party here and come join us for an evening of low-key mingling with information professionals in the Twin Cities (not to mention fancy food and an open bar!). Hope to see you there!

Letters asking for donations from around 25 local businesses were sent out today, with a round of about 25 more going out next Sunday to new businesses we've never contacted before. The letters introduce what the donation is for and encourage the businesses to donate for a good cause (scholarship) and to get visibility at an event attended by many local professionals and students.  We will be seeking volunteers for [scripted] follow-up calls soon, so get your dialing fingers ready! On the Information Professionals Panel front, our planning group is meeting next Tuesday to figure out contacting the panelists, marketing and food for the event. It should be a good one! Have a good week!
