Hello SAA!
Hi SAA!
As you’re all well aware, the end of the semester is fast approaching!
We will not have a November meeting and we have no events planned between now and next semester, but we do want to see all your smiling faces before our month long break.
So we’ll be gathering for drinks and/or food at the City Bar (at 636 State St) on December 8th at 6pm! We will be discussing the process of electing new leadership for the 2017-2018 school year so if you’re interested in a leadership position and want to talk about what we do and how SAA-SC works, please come chat with us.
If you’re unable to make it, no worries! We’re always available via email or in person if you want to talk or have interest in leading SAA-SC next year. As always, we will send out an email with any important information discussed.
You’re welcome to bring a guest. Also, there’s no pressure to buy a drink or food, so if you just want to stop by for some free high-fives and to talk, please come!
Safe travels and enjoy your Thanksgiving Break!
TLAM will be watching Smoke Signals this Friday at 7:30pm in the Cataloging Lab!
CLICK HERE TO WATCH TRAILER FOR SMOKE SIGNALS!
From Wikipedia:
Smoke Signals is an independent film released in 1998, directed and co-produced by Chris Eyre and with a screenplay by Sherman Alexie, based on the short story “This is What it Means to Say Phoenix, Arizona” from his book The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven (1993). The film won several awards and accolades, and was well received at numerous film festivals.
The film is unique as an all-Native American production: producers, director, screenwriter (Alexie), actors and technicians. Alexie wanted to give them all a chance to shine.
Bring something to snack and come hang out at SLIS this Friday!
