Summer is in full swing and now seems like a 
great time to gather by the tiki bar for cool 
drinks and catching up with your 
colleagues.  (Yes, there will be a tiki 
bar!)  Listen to short recaps of some of the most 
popular sessions at the SLA Annual Conference in 
Denver or just enjoy the cool food, lemonade and 
conversation.   Dig out your best Hawaiian shirt 
and bottle of self-tanner to try and win a door prize!

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.
