The 2011 SLA-SCC Chapter Award winners announced
I would like to present to you the SLA-SCC Award winners for 2011. Awards were presented at the Annual Business Meeting and Awards Dinner which was held Thurs., Nov. 10th, at the Ports O’ Call Restaurant in San Pedro. The new 2012 SLA-SCC Board members were also introduced. Photos of the evening are available at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/34642745@N07/sets
The 2011 SLA-SCC Award winners are as follows:
The 2011 Billie Connor Award, Southern California Chapter, Special Libraries Association:
JOAN DUBIS for her service to the Chapter over the years in several different capacities. She was the Publications Chair that oversaw a major overhaul of our website in 2005/06. She served as Publications Chair in the late 1990’s as well. Joan also served on the Nominations Committee a couple of years ago and was on this year’s Professional Development Committee held at the Boeing facility in Seal Beach. For this event, she was responsible for all site and logistics coordination.
The 2011 Meritorious Service Award, Southern California Chapter, Special Libraries Association:
EDWARD VAZQUEZ for his efforts in tracking down and urging reluctant sponsors to follow through with their pledges .
JACKIE PRENTICE for suggesting the idea of using advertising (or sponsorship) as a means of revenue for the Chapter newsletter. Jackie set up the program’s guidelines and procured the newsletter’s initial sponsor.
CHRISTIAN GRAY for helping to put on one of the most successful professional days ever. Christian single-handedly lined up the speakers and did an excellent job as emcee. His efforts in organizing and presenting the Professional Day made the day pleasant, educational and fun. He is also recognized for assisting Jackie Prentice in implementing the Chapter newsletter sponsorship program.
SUE BREWSAUGH for her role in helping to put on this year’s very successful Professional Day. Sue saw to the presentation details including providing the host facility and arranging for the catering. Her hostessing and organizational skills helped make the day run seamlessly and effortlessly.
MARIA BRAHME for her tireless efforts the past 2 years to revitalize the mentorship program. She put a lot of energy into personally contacting potential mentors and mentees, even reaching beyond the Chapter in her search for mentors. She also worked with Chapter President Robin Dodge on last year’s mentorship event.
And our new award:
The 2011 Student Meritorious Service Award, Southern California Chapter, Special Libraries Association:
GRACE ROSALES for her role in founding the UNT/CSUN SLA student chapter. She also served as its President 2009-2011. She has been a very productive and effective participant in SLA, as well as a representative voice of the organization’s student population.

Clear your calendars folks, there’s parties to attend! After you attend our own holiday party on the 7th, you can keep right on partying the next day. The SLA-SCC has partnered up with the Digital Family Reunion this year to bring you a discounted registration for this fun event. This is a chance to network with colleagues beyond our immediate profession and to do some outreach to people and companies who need to know what we do and how we can help them. I hope you’ll consider joining me and representing SLA and the information profession at the Digital Family Reunion.

The SLA Southern California Chapter would like to invite you to a very special holiday event, for students by students.
Co-sponsored by the Los Angeles County Library and LA as Subject, and organized by and for the student groups of the CSUN/UNT, UCLA, and SJSU library school programs, this party aims to bring together local students of all library, information, and archival programs to mix and mingle and celebrate the holidays together. Alumni and professionals are welcome to attend as well, and you need not be affiliated with the local programs to attend. We welcome students and alumni from any out-of-state or online library, information, or archival program.
WHEN: December 1st, 6:00 – 8:30pm
WHERE: West Hollywood Public Library
Dinner and drinks will be provided. Attendees will have exclusive access to the West Hollywood Public Library during the event.
Attendance is FREE if you are currently enrolled in a library, information, or archival program or if you’ve graduated within the last 5 years.Professionals are welcome, and may register for $15. (There is no need to pre-pay. Cash and checks will be accepted at the door).
Details:
The evening is for connecting so it will be fairly unstructured. Some options in the planning thus far include the following ideas:
-Gathering points for library students and alumni from an institution to find each other.
-Chats with the consultant who shepherded the West Hollywood Library design and project to completion.
-Speed chat with library professionals – a fun and fast way to meet and chat with some information professionals about their jobs and anything else you want to ask them. Think of it as ‘speed dating’ for your career investigations and aspirations.
-A learn-more-about-your-colleagues scavenger hunt event.
These are subject to change so you have to show up to find out what happens!
Directions:
The West Hollywood Library is located at 625 N. San Vicente Blvd., West Hollywood, CA 90069. (310) 652-5340Three (3) hour validated parking is available in the parking facility on the west side of the library for the first 90 attendees. Enter the parking facility from either San Vicente Blvd or Robertson Blvd. Parking is available nearby as well but read the signs for any street parking restrictions.
RSVP:
Please RSVP by November 28th to Robin Dodge, rdodge@fidm.edu, 213-624-1200 x3376.

As the year winds down, I’m looking forward to the holidays, and transitions, and maybe even a bit of rest and relaxation. Well, that last bit probably won’t happen any time soon. I’m not a rest-and-relaxation sort of girl, and besides, there’s still a few irons in the fire…..

We know you’re busy, and e-mail is easy to overlook, so here’s another reminder of some upcoming chapter events.
The Annual Business and Awards Dinner
I took the liberty of reserving a few more spots for the November 10 Annual Business and Awards Dinner, so we can get the best price.
I kept the price to last year’s price so we could all have a good time and have some money to attend the other chapter events. So come support the chapter, honor our awardees, and network with your colleagues BEFORE the holiday crush begins. Come enjoy an evening in beautiful San Pedro; it’s easy to get there – and there is no 405 construction. Send in your reservation today, or sooner. http://sla-scc.blogspot.com/2011/10/2011-business-and-awards-dinner_06.html
NAVAIR China Lake
A few seats have opened up on the $10.00 limo to China Lake. It’s going to be a real fun day and we’ve worked out a great deal to spare you the driving.
