Message From Renee Cullmann, President of NJLLA:

Hello NJLLA members: [] [Linked below] is an invitation for Rutgers School of Communication, Inofrmation and Library Studies (SCILS) 25th Anniversary celebration on 10/12/07 at the Heldrich Hotel in New Brunswick. The Board thought that this event would be of interest to our members and we wanted to make you all aware of it. As our local library school we congratulate them on their 25th anniversary, and for turning out so many fine librarians, many of whom are NJLLAers. [Invitation]
