Supporting the LIS Students
In order to provide services to the students, we are constantly working to raise money. Our snack sales and printer paper in the classroom are designed to pay for themselves, and this system is a wonderful way to provide these daily services for the LIS students!
The two main events - the New Student orientation and the Graduation Dinner - on the other hand, take up a great deal of our funds, and we have to raise money throughout the semester in order to be able to put these on year after year. In order to raise large amounts of money, we have fundraising events like bake sales and online auctions.
Current Fundraisers
UH-LIS Mugs
In cooperation with ALA-SC and ASIST, Hui Dui is selling plastic-lined thermal travel mugs as a fundraiser! It keeps
your beverages hot or cold and sports the UH-LIS logo. Proceeds will help fund brown bags and other professional
panels, the graduation dinner, and other LIS social events. Prices are one for $10 and two for $18. Talk to Brett, Neneng, Shelley, or Mariko, or you can e-mail hudui@hawaii.edu if you're interested.
BookmarksThere I was, reading in the independent café, drinking a succulent cappucino from my superior, portable and reusable ALA mug. Suddenly, I had to set my book down for a moment of reflection. I reached for the ecologically unfriendly napkin to keep my place – but then, I remembered that in my pocket I had a long-lasting, reusable bookmark – aesthetically pleasing, and made locally with tender care by my LIS friends. Surely, I thought, this beaded bookmark is the perfect companion for the ALA mug – supporting the LIS students, encouraging the good work in literacy, and making the world a bit greener. Some other things also struck me: it’s a great stocking-stuffer at a small price! Only $6.00 for this beautiful piece of handmade technology! Just think of the headache you can spare yourself by buying one or more as presents – for those nieces, nephews, or aunties whose gift needs usually make you bite your lower lip in consternation. And just think of your contribution to the LIS program and the world! Remember: only $6.00 each! If you want to make the world an even slightly better place, please contact one of your personal (and reasonably personable) representatives: Shelley, Mariko, Neneng or Brett
