Alright GSLIS,
Well it's about that time when classes are winding down and we all marvel at the speed this semester has gone by. Tomorrow night, EoS party at the Pig. I know you've received many-an-email about this event. Come, drink, eat, enjoy. Party gets started at 6:00pm. More information is provided at the bottom of this email.
Take a look around, and feel free to leave comments or suggestions. Thanks!
Best,
Cheryl Kohen

END OF THE SEMESTER PAR-TAY!
That's right! It's the end of another semester here at GSLIS and it's time to pencil in the enormously popular LISSA End of Semester Party. This time we'll be having it on Wednesday, December 12 beginning at 6pm at the Squealing Pig, 134 Smith St, Boston, which is just a few blocks from Simmons up Huntington Ave. Map here: http://tinyurl.com/393o7n (If you walk straight up Palace Rd. and keep on as the crow flies through the parking lot on the other side of Longwood, and across Huntington you'll find it no problem).
We'll have appetizers, a cash bar, and door prizes! All brought to you by the good folks at LISSA, ASIS&T, MSLMA, & SLA.
So stop by and mingle; take a much needed respite; enjoy yourself. Goodness knows you've earned it. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. See you there!
