System Celebration 2010

- Register Now -

System Celebration is our annual thank you to the staff, trustees, and mayors/village presidents of SCLS member libraries for their support and efforts throughout the year to help make library services possible. This year's event is scheduled for Tuesday evening, Sept. 21, 2010, at the Wintergreen Resort in Wisconsin Dells (map & directions). There will be a social hour from 6-7 p.m. (cash bar), with entertainment provided by the Wisconsin Dells High School Jazz Ensemble. Dinner will be from 7-8 p.m., and the presentation of awards will be from 8-8:30 p.m.

Registration for System Celebration 2010 is now available. This year's meal includes a choice of Roast Sirloin of Beef, Chicken Chardonnay, or Pasta Primavera (vegetarian). Dinner includes salad, green beans & baby carrots, parsley red baby potatoes, and rolls. Dessert is Chocolate Mousse Cake. Please remember that if SCLS is paying for your meal, and you don't attend, we must still pay for your meal. If you register but are then unable to attend, and it is too late to cancel your reservation, please have someone go in your place so the meal is not wasted.
