PROGRAM DESCRIPTION  *Donations to the Aspnes Scholarship are tax
deductible.

While we are fortunate to have an opportunity to hold this event in a
beautiful space just after the annual conference and have a nationally known
author on hand, the main reason for gathering is to encourage people to
donate as much or as little as they can to the Aspnes Scholarship Fund.  For
those who don't know, Grieg Aspnes was a talented librarian at Cargill, a
past president of the Special Libraries Association, and an active leader in
its Minnesota Chapter, Information Technology and Advertising Divisions and
Education Committee.  Grieg was also a strong advocate of the information
profession and was a guest lecturer in the library schools at St.
Catherine's and the University of Minnesota.  This award, made only to the
College of St. Catherine, is funded by the Minnesota Chapter of the Special
Libraries Association and by the Cargill Information Center for the purpose
of encouraging the recipient to pursue a career in special librarianship.
The College of St. Catherine expresses its appreciation to the Aspnes
family, the Minnesota Chapter of SLA and Cargill for providing this grant.
