Dine-Around escorts needed

By Administrator. Published on March 13, 2007 in MLA '07. Closed

Do you have a favorite restaurant in Philadelphia you would like to share with your library colleagues? Do you enjoy meeting new colleagues from all over the country? Andrea Kenyon, on behalf of the Local Assistance Committee (LAC), is coordinating the Dine-Arounds for the MLA conference in Philadelphia. She is looking for foodies/volunteers to escort groups of 6-8 conference attendees to local restaurants. LAC will promote the event, sign up diners in advance and provide you with the group list. You would be responsible for making the reservation and escorting your group to the restaurant from a pre-designated meeting place in the hotel. Pick a restaurant that you’ve eaten at before and are comfortable getting to–no trial runs! The Dine-Arounds will be Thursday, May 17, Friday May 18 and Saturday May 19. Please contact Andrea directly at kenyon@collphyphil.org with the date you are willing to be a host and the name of the restaurant.

Volunteers still needed

The conference is right around the corner and we still have many, many empty shifts to fill for the Hospitality Booth and Placement Center.

Please consider volunteering some time during the conference. Remember if you are not registering for the conference you can still attend one day for free if you volunteer for 4 hours.

Here is the link to register:
