Sherry Gick wins a year of free AASL membership
CHICAGO – By sharing the wealth of AASL membership with a colleague, Sherry Gick has won a free year of AASL membership for herself. Gick's name was drawn as a monthly winner of the American Association of School Librarians’ (AASL) Share the Wealth Campaign. Gick referred Erin Preder to AASL.
When asked why she recommended AASL membership, Gick replied: “I recommended AASL membership to Erin - and to all school librarians - because it is the only association completely dedicated to the profession. Our unique positions in schools and districts make it imperative that we work together and support each other. The advocacy and resources provided by AASL are pivotal to me.”
Using the “Share the Wealth” membership acceptance form located on the AASL website, all current, personal AASL members are encouraged to reach out to their colleagues and invite them to join the only national professional organization focused on school librarians and the school library community.
For each member recruited, the referring AASL member will receive an entry in a monthly drawing for a complimentary year of ALA and AASL membership. Their name will also be entered into a final grand prize drawing for an AASL 18th National Conference & Exhibition package, which includes registration, three nights lodging and round trip airfare to Phoenix, Arizona, in November 2017. Multiple referrals will be accepted and will increase their chances to win.
To participate and earn entry into prize drawings, membership acceptance forms must be returned with payment directly to AASL. Memberships processed by ALA – either online or on paper – will not be included in the “Share the Wealth” campaign. For complete program rules and regulations, visit www.ala.org/aasl/STW.
