My year as Chair has been personally and professionally fulfilling. I have greatly enjoyed working with the wonderful Board members who energize our Chapter through their hard work and creativity. It is a privilege and an honor to have collaborated with so many stellar librarians in order to provide educational and networking opportunities, as well as foster collegiality and communication among our membership and beyond.
The Chapter’s last event was the 59th Annual Meeting and Reception, held on April 27th. The membership came together to honor our awardees, and to welcome newly elected officers. It was an evening of fun that featured a sumptuous buffet, plus an enlightening and powerful presentation by nurses Karen Slutsky, RN and Dominic Parone, RN, that detailed their medical relief work in the wake of the recent earthquake in Haiti.
For further details about Chapter activities over the past year, please consult the 2009-2010 Annual Report, which was submitted to MLA National and is posted on the Chapter’s website <http://www.mlaphil.org/wp/chapter-documents/2010/04/27/chapter-report-2009-2010/>.
Have a great summer, everyone. Thanks to all for a great year!
Cynthia
