Hello SISCO Loyalists,

The next few weeks are going to be a busy time for us, which is great news! We have two volunteer opportunities lined up before Thanksgiving. The first, described in the previous post, is a service day with Bookem' (Sunday November 2nd). The second will be a day of volunteering at the Millvale Library(Saturday November 8th). This is an exciting opportunity for students in the LIS program (really in all programs) to help build a library (literally) from the ground up. The Millvale project will entail some renovation work. So, be prepared to get your hands dirty! The Millvale library is also looking for volunteers to help redesign their website. Please contact sisco.pitt@gmail.com if you can help in this regard.

It would be great for us (and for the organizations involved) to know how many people will be attending these events. As such, please RSVP to sisco.pitt@gmail.com if you're planning to come. We'll try to work out transportation to both events over the next week.

Our next meeting is scheduled for Wednesday October 29th, from 5-6pm, in IS 522. The goal is to discuss our upcoming projects and hold elections for SISCO officers. The offices available are President, Vice President and Business Manager. Please contact sisco.pitt@gmail.com if you'd like to hear more about these positions.

Finally, Beginning with Books - a local nonprofit focusing on youth literacy- is seeking volunteers to read to children in public libraries. Anyone interested should contact Gloria Townsend. A link to more information can be found on our links tab to the right.

Thanks!!
