I attended the “Welcome to the Profession Open House” that was held on May 21, 2014 from 5:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at METRO (Metropolitan Library Council) in Manhattan. It was sponsored by ALLN (Archives and Library Leadership Network of New York City) and METRO. The purpose of this event was to welcome new librarians to the profession and provide them an opportunity to network with library organizations. Each participating library organization was asked to have a representative attend the event and submit a raffle item. On behalf of SUNYLA and in consultation with April Davies, SUNYLA President, I created a certificate for a free one-year student membership. I also donated an Amazon Gift Card from my own private funds in the amount of $25 to create a “bundle” package. The name of the student that won the SUNYLA Raffle is Melissa Perlzweig. I had a nice time and it was a very rewarding experience!
