DC/SLA Celebrates UN Day 2010

A representative from UNICEF will describe the organization's aid program for Pakistani flood victims and discuss opportunities to assist these victims. 

• Fatmata McCormack will tell of her journey from Sierra Leone to working as a Learning Resources Specialist at USAID.
• Donna Scheeder, from the Library of Congress Congressional Research Service, will discuss how government libraries are using IFLA (The International Federation of Library Associations) as a global forum for common issues. 

The International Relations Committee (IRC) of DC/SLA will serve appetizers and drinks as part of our networking and greeting session before the speakers begin.

The proceeds from DC/SLA's celebration of UN Day will be donated to UNICEF for Pakistani flood victims.  Whether or not you can attend this special event, you will still have the opportunity to make a separate donation for Pakistan.  Please make a donation by clicking on the registration link on the event website. 

Cost for most members is $15 ($10 for student/unemployed/retired SLA members) and $20 for nonmembers.  Payment at the door is $20 - no cash accepted.
