Gslisadjuncts Re: Proposed verbiage for ad in the Louis Armstrong House Museum Gala Journal 2014
by Claudia Perry 13 Nov '14

Thank you, Lauren, for the initial suggestion especially, and to all those who have agreed to contribute: Lauren Barnes, Evelyn Behar, Colleen Cool, Linda Cooper, Andrew Jackson, Ping Li, James Marcum, Kwong Bor Ng, Simone Yearwood and yours truly. This brings us to our needed $250 for the quarter page ad. I have written and called the Marketing/Communications Office and they have responded with the following minor changes: The Graduate School of Library and Information Studies (GSLIS), Queens College, CUNY is proud to salute the honorees of the Louis Armstrong House Museum’s Gala 2014: Dick Cavett Stephen Maitland-Lewis Andrew P. Jackson (Sekou Molefi Baako), GSLIS Adjunct Professor [add QC and CUNY logos at the bottom] I have a pretty booked schedule today but will try to pull something coherent together tomorrow. If anyone has more advanced graphic design skills than I, your assistance would be most welcome. Steve Whalen has shared some sample ads from past such announcements to provide guidance, which I can forward to interested volunteers. In the meantime, thanks again to all! It looks like sending a check to me and I will place the ad on our behalf tomorrow will be the way to go.
