June is finally upon us and with that it is time for the GNYMLA spring/summer chapter meeting. As announced in an earlier save the date e-mail, the meeting will be hosted at Columbia University on June 16th. This meeting will be an all day event and consist of three presentations and a business meeting with two hours for a lunch break.
Links for directions and maps to Columbia University by public transportation and car are at the bottom of the page. Please RSVP to toulasa@newschool.edu if you plan on attending this meeting.
It would be helpful to the hosting institution for lunch and meeting room arrangements.
Also – the new membership year (2010-11) begins July 1. This meeting would be a perfect time to get current with past/present/future membership dues. You can print out a membership form from the link below, fill it out and bring cash or a check to the meeting.
I hope to see many of you there.
