*Libraries Diversity Luncheon

The Libraries Diversity Committee cordially invites you to share in a celebration of the great diversity that exists within the IUB Libraries. We are reviving an event previously hosted by the Special Events Committee with a few changes. As in the past this will be a pot-luck luncheon. Staff are asked to bring dishes that reflect their cultural or ethnic heritage, or anything you would like to bring, whether it be chili Monroe County style, Cajun red beans and rice, or Rogan Josh, a hearty Indian red curry with lamb.

The luncheon is scheduled for March 20 from 11:30-1:00 p.m. in the Main Library staff lounge. Below you will find an electronic sign-up sheet asking staff to let us know whether they will bring a main or side dish or a dessert. You can forward this sheet to Betty Davis in Libraries Human Resources at betdavis@indiana.edu or mail to Libraries Human Resources, rm. 201A Main Library.

Please join in sharing our culinary tradition!
