Calling All Volunteers: Welcome New Members with a Thank You Note
We all know that feeling of getting something “fun” in the mail. Now you have the opportunity to put some joy in someone’s snail-mail box.
The ALA New Member Welcome Notecard Program was created to welcome and thank new members and provide them with an introduction to ALA and the deep connections and relationships that members can build. That’s where you come in: We need volunteers to handwrite these “welcome and thank you” notecards for new members. ALA provides everything you need to get started, including some sample messages for inspiration!

How To Build A Killer Brand: December 7 at 2 p.m. Central
Great branding is all about putting your best face forward. It’s about standing out and being noticed as one consistent voice. It's about easily conveying what you do as a business. If your brand is not exhibiting these three major components…then it’s time to do something different.
