Oct 4: 6pm - Dinner with Dr. Jennifer
Lee Carrell and Premier Book Signing
Arizona Inn
What if you held the key to a centuries-old secret, one that
could possibly shatter the image of the world's best known
poet and playwright? How much would a revelation about
Shakespeare be worth? Carrell's first novel, INTERRED WITH
THEIR BONES is a literary thriller that explores these
questions with sumptuous prose and a swift-moving plot. Bard
lovers will revel in the Shakespearean clues that pepper the
book, which is to be released on September 20 by Dutton. The
author holds a Ph.D. in English from Harvard University as
well as degrees in English Literature from Oxford and
Stanford. She won three awards for distinction in
undergraduate teaching at Harvard, where she taught in the
History and Literature Program and directed Shakespeare for
the Hyperion Theatre Company. Carrell is also the author of
The Speckled Monster (2003), a work of historical nonfiction
about battling smallpox at the beginning of the eighteenth
century, which USA Today praised as being written "in a
compelling, almost novelistic voice." Both books will be
available for purchase and signing at the Friends of the
Library event: Please join the library friends for an
evening with Jennifer Lee Carrell, Thursday, October 4,
2007, to be held at Arizona Inn at 7:00 PM with a cash bar
beginning at 6:00PM. Dinner is $75 (15 is tax deductible)
per person. For further information and reservation, please

understanding about gender variance & expression.
Participants who complete this session WILL receive a

remarkable scientific career, beginning as an Assistant

President John Schaefer, who convinced Herb to become the
founding Director of the Graduate Interdisciplinary Program

Department Head of the University Department of
Biochemistry. We very much hope you will be able to attend
all or even just one of the several events we have scheduled

Trunk Show: Oaxacan Woodcarvings by Armando Jimenez and
Family
AZ State Museum
One day only! Buy
directly from the artist! Master carver Armando
Jimenez from the village of Arrazola, in the foothills
of Monte Alban near the city of Oaxaca in Mexico, comes
to ASM with loads of his and several family members’
famous, brightly colored figures - bears, cats, rabbits,
penquins, all carved in a style learned from their
grandfather. Recent violence in the region has
undermined the tourism industry so artists are forced to
travel to sell their goods. Mr. Jimenez is here for one
day only. Don’t miss your chance to enhance your
collection. Oaxacan woodcarvings are the ultimate
collectible - original, whimsical, wildly colorful and
always delightful. Carved out of green copal wood with
machetes and pocket knives then hand-painted, no two are
exactly alike. Arizona State Museum is
located just inside the Main Gate on the University
of Arizona campus at Park Avenue and University
Blvd 621-6302

Oct 31: Noon-1pm - The Value of Connections: Networking
as a Career Strategy workshop
University Services Bldg, Room 214
How can you gain information and advice from insiders about
the culture, business and expectations of a prospective
employer? How can you develop and mobilize a support group
that brings you referrals? Studies on effective networking
strategies and accounts from several successful job seekers
at the University of Arizona have shown that contacts and
networking are more productive than the traditional
job-hunt. In this workshop you will learn how to build a
network of contacts to assist you with identifying new
career opportunities, how to conduct informational and
referral meetings and how to set up a record keeping system
for contacts in your job search. For more information on the
Career Development Workshops call 621-7701 or register

Send your thanks to
our soldiers.
It only takes a minute and is so worthwhile.
If you go to the
web site
http://www.letssaythanks.com/ you can pick out a thank you card
and Xerox will print it and it will be sent to a soldier that is
currently serving in Iraq. You can't pick out who gets it, but it
will go to some member of the armed services. It is FREE and it
only takes a second. Wouldn't it be wonderful if the soldiers
received a bunch of these? I sent mine, now you send one too! |

Curb Auto
Theft with the Watch Your Car Program:
It's Quick, Easy and FREE!
The Watch Your Car
decal program is a free, voluntary program that
vehicle owners enroll their vehicles with the
Arizona Automobile Theft Authority. The vehicle is
then entered into the Motor Vehicle Department (MVD)
database and participants receive decals for their
front and rear windows. By displaying the decals,
vehicle owners convey to law enforcement officials
that their vehicle is not usually in use between the
hours of 1:00 AM and 5:00 AM, when the majority of
auto thefts occur. In addition, by enrolling in the
Watch Your Car Program, vehicle owners also
authorize law enforcement officials to stop their
vehicle at any time during the day or night within
one mile of the border, if there is a suspicion that
the vehicle is being illegally operated.
If a police officer
witnesses the vehicle in operation between these
hours, they have the right to stop the vehicle and
verify it is being legally operated by the rightful
owner.
To
register for the program online go to:
https://www.aata.state.az.us/Watch_Your_Car/Info_Request/signup_request.html
Register by mail
by downloading the form at:
http://www.azwatchyourcar.com/pdfs/WYC%20-%20application%20form%20for%20website.pdf
