Central Arizona Meet-Up @ Green in Phoenix

Central Arizona Meet-Up @ Green in Phoenix

Greetings SLA Arizona Chapter Members!

In Celebration of Earth Day (Earth Week) we are gathering for a no-host meet-up at Green Vegetarian Restaurant in Downtown Phoenix. The meet-up is scheduled for Wednesday April 24th, from 6:30-8:00 PM

Green is rated among the top vegetarian restaurants in Phoenix.

Adjacent to Green (same owner) is the award wining Nami, also vegetarian. Nami serves incredibly delicious deserts and coffee/tea beverages. Most of their offerings are not only vegetarian but also gluten free.

Green is on 7th Street in a trendy downtown neighborhood in Phoenix. We have reserved the outside patio. So come out and have a great meal and converse about librarianship and planet Earth.

Green/Nami is located at 2022 N 7th Street in Phoenix. (602) 258-1870.http://greenvegetarian.com/

For questions and details or to confirm that you would like to attend, contact Robert Forman, rforman@global.t-bird.edu

Message from your Chapter President

Message from your Chapter President

Dear SLA Arizona Chapter,

This is let you know that Jennifer Martin, our Secretary-Treasurer, has resigned.  I want to thank her for her hard work during her term and I wish her all the best!

We need a replacement, and the sooner, the better.  If you are interested in fulfilling this position, please send me your contact information and I will send you the description of the duties.  The current term expires at the end of 2013 but we would be willing to accept a volunteer to cover the post through the end of the year.  Just let me know your preference when you contact me.  I am hoping to fill this role prior to the Business Meeting so the new person can take the minutes.

Just as a reminder, the Business Meeting will be held Friday, June 15th from 12-3 pm at Spinato’s in South East Phoenix.

Further details will be sent prior to the meeting.

Thanks! 
 
Tracy V. Mertens, MLIS
President, SLA Arizona Chapter
