LIBRARY SCHOOL ASSOCIATION NEWS LETTER

Number 21 June, 1935 GREETINGS F R O M T H E S U N S H I N E O F T H E ROCKIES Here's to a big reunion in Denver in J u n e ! The usual "library school dinners" evening is being scheduled for conference week. With the local Illini in charge and an enthusiastic welcome ready for the faculty and alumni from away this dinner should be a gala event. The state chairmen of the Alumni Association are hereby asked to continue their work as outlined last year by our ex-President—Bertha Schneider. The Secretary-Treasurer reminds us that the news letters are not paying for themselves. Therefore I am hoping that the state secretaries will be busily engaged in getting in new annual and life memberships to report at the June business meeting. The annual dinner and meeting will be held Thursday evening June 27th at the Shirley-Savoy Hotel. Mildred A. Kenney of the Denver Public Library is Chairman of the committee for the reunion. With greetings again and a cordial invitation to come to Denver in June, I am Yours sincerely, HARRIET E. HOWE.
