MS Walk - May 4

Every hour of every day, someone is diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. That's why I registered for Walk MS: Christopher & Banks Walk 2008 presented by Anchor Bank and that's why I'm asking you to support my fund raising efforts with a tax-deductible donation.

The National Multiple Sclerosis Society is a collective of passionate individuals, moving together to create a world free of multiple sclerosis. But they can't do it alone. It's faster and easier than ever to support this cause that's so important to me. Simply click on the link at the bottom of this message. If you prefer, you can send your contribution to the address listed below.

Any amount, great or small, helps to make a difference in the lives of people with MS. I appreciate your support and look forward to letting you know how I do.

P.S. If you would like more information about the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, how proceeds from Walk MS are used, or the other ways you can get involved in the fight against MS, please visit nationalmssociety.org.

New Challenges

Today is my last day at Minnesota School of Business as their campus librarian, and my feelings are very bittersweet in leaving. I have learned so much here from faculty, staff, students & other librarians, & I've really enjoyed my job. Unfortunately for MSB, I wasn't really challenged in this position, which is why I applied for the position at SELCO that I start on Monday.

I begin at SELCO on Monday, February 4, & am taking on the roll of Project Librarian for a Smart Investing @ Your Library grant they received. This means for the next 16 months or so, I'll be doing research & reference work for investing programs for both local libraries, AND the local public TV station. Should be very exciting & challenging, & totally different from what I've been doing in an academic setting over the last 2 years.

23 things...

I am participating in 23 Things on a Stick. It is a program for Minnesota librarians to improve their Web 2.0 skills - Flickr, blogs and the like. I'm looking forward to seeing all the things this will have to offer. :)
