Fundraisers
Planning is underway for our first fundraising event: selling souvenir photos during Homecoming weekend, November 3-5, 2011.
UA SLA is also looking into hosting a Bingo night at Bumsteds after the success of the event last year. Dates are still TBD.
Semester Service Project
To learn about and be involved in the Tucson community,UA SLA members will undertake a service project each semester. For Fall 2011 the project will be working at the BioBlitz on October 21. The event still needs volunteers. Some SLA members have conflicts with the 21 October date; after-event LIS-related volunteer opportunities may be available. Interested? Contact the UA SLA Chapter for more information.
Events and Activities
The UA SLA student chapter is currently working on some fun and ambitious projects, including more community service and a movie/speaker night. More details will be provided as the projects take shape. Interested? Not interested? Voice your opinions, take part some fun projects, and help shape UA’s SLA chapter at our next meeting: Wednesday, October 12 6pm in the SIRLS multipurpose room.
