Volunteers Needed for DALL's March Session

DALL is sponsoring a half-day session on Saturday, March 17th. This will be a huge event! We have been given a $1,000 grant from AALL to help with this session. Because of this grant, we are not charging for the session. And, as part of the grant, AALL has asked us to create podcasts of the event and download them to their website.

The great thing about accepting this grant is that DALL will be able to bring in 2 wonderful speakers:

1. Cheryl Rae Nyberg, Gallagher Law Library
Co-Author of the State by State Survey Books starting in 1979 to current
Title: Subject Compilations of State Laws

2. Ana Sifuentes-Martinez, Texas Legislative Reference Library
Update on Texas Legislative Research resources and What's New at the Library

This session will be at the Dallas Public Library in their renovated state-of-the-art conference room. DPL has donated the room to us for that Saturday morning. The conference room has WI-FI, huge LCD screens, places to hook in your laptops, kitchen, etc. This room will hold about 75 people.

I need your help!! I need volunteers for the following:

*Public Relations/Marketing
I need help creating and emailing marketing materials to the Dallas, Austin, San Antonio and Houston Law Librarians. And, because of the topic, we are also inviting paralegals and public librarians to this session.

*Ambassadors for the Speakers
This involves picking up the speakers at their hotel on Saturday morning.

*Food
DALL needs 2 volunteers to take charge of the food for this event. We need someone to select the menu, work with the caterers (if needed) and to make sure the food arrives.

Please let me know as soon as possible if you would like to volunteer.

Thank you!!
