Hi Alyssa, Interesting proposal. The Executive Board will be convening for its monthly conference call tomorrow afternoon. We'll take this idea under consideration and see how it fits within our draft strategic plan for the Society (http://www.arlisna.org/organization/com/stratplan/prelimgoals-rev110307 .pdf) and our other priorities for the year ahead. My best, Jon Jon Evans President, ARLIS/NA Director, Hirsch Library Museum of Fine Arts, Houston P.O.

Why I donate or even Why I am a member. It is nice to see & hear people. -----Original Message----- From: Music Library Association Mailing List [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Cassaro, James P Sent: Wednesday, April 13, 2011 8:33 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [MLA-L] "Why I Donate to MLA" Video on the MLA Website Hello Everyone, At our recent meeting in Philadelphia, we shot a development video that is now mounted on the MLA website. Seven MLA members (David Gilbert, Gerry Ostrove, Jane Gottlieb, Tom Caw, Bruce Evans, Laura Gayle Green, and Judy Tsou) were videotaped, each giving a short statement about why they donate to the Association. The videorecorder was arranged by Dick Griscom from Media Services at the University of Pennsylvania, and its staff did the final editing of the raw video footage. You can view this video at: http://www.musiclibraryassoc.org/sub.aspx?id=951. Hope that you enjoy MLA's first foray into film, and that it makes you think about why you donate so generously to MLA.
