As the incoming AJL President I read Alba’s kind words with great pleasure. The fact that Alba tie it in with the renewal message, makes it even better. The system send last year’s notices before we caught it, but the link works. A new reminder will be sent soon. Amalia Warshenbrot President, Association of Jewish Libraries Phone: (704) 365-3313
From: ALBA TOSCANO Sent: Friday, August 12, 2016 2:00 AM To: AJL-HasafranLists Subject: [ha-Safran] AJL membership: A little pep talk about re-upping; the personal experience Hiyya All! I don't think Valencia could get any hotter and not go up in a poof of smoke. I got the AJL Re-up Reminder from the Membership Chairperson Shulamis Hes. As we can read by the note I got from Sheryl Stahl (30 june 2016): Hi Alba, Congratulations! You are the first person to send in their 2016/17 membership! And I love the little card you sent. Ill put it on my wall next to the Cat alone in Catalonia card! I will let our new VP Membership, Shulamis Hes know that you sent in payment. After 8 years, I am off the AJL board (still on council as webmaster). All the best, Sheryl. Over these last 18 years I've always been Mrs Nº999. Since I couldn't come to the 2016 Convention, I dashed off a sweetened re-up check to Sheryl as the next best thing: 75$US. This makes me Mrs Sweet Nº One for the AJL's 2016/17's re-upping season! How's them apples and honey, eh? What would I do without all you AJL librarians who have sent me books, filmstrips, calendars, and moral support over the years? The Sinagoga La Javurá Library (Valencia, Spain) would have never happened without AJL. The plan is to sweeten it a little more and work my way up from there with each passing year. I've already paid back the 1999 Boca Raton first-time attendee scholarship and about half of the Littauer Travel Stipend so generously given to me for the Seattle 2010 Convention. However.... Sweetened re-up cheques might get the debt paid off and others that same chance to attend and travel but they will never ever ever pay back the Good Will and Generosity of the members of AJL. These and so many unsung qualities of all the members of AJL will get us modern librarians to the other side of Google, Amazon and a whole bunch of other future things we have yet to dream of.... together.

If you would like to see the work on the apartment I bought to be turned into a real home for the Sinagoga La Javurá, click HERE Have a gander at a bunch of persons scurrying about and a lot of rubble but you'll get the general gist. I manically rock between giddy-happy and scared-out-of-my socks. ************************* Alba Toscano, presª Sinagoga conservador La Javurá calle Uruguay 59, pta 13, 46007 Valencia SKYPE: albatoscanovalencia UStream : http://www.ustream.tv/channel/la-javura-on-line email [email protected] página web: http://www.lajavura.org 96 380 2129 658 721 769 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- __ Messages and opinions expressed on Hasafran are those of the individual author and are not necessarily endorsed by the Association of Jewish Libraries (AJL) ================================== Submissions for Ha-Safran, send to: [email protected] To join Ha-Safran, update or change your subscription, etc. - click here: https://lists.service.ohio-state.edu/mailman/listinfo/hasafran Questions, problems, complaints, compliments send to: [email protected] Ha-Safran Archives: Current: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.service.ohio-state.edu/maillist.html Earlier Listserver: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.acs.ohio-state.edu/maillist.html AJL HomePage http://www.JewishLibraries.org -- Hasafran mailing list [email protected] https://lists.osu.edu/mailman/listinfo/hasafran
