University of Kentucky for the 1983 calendar year was composed of the
following people:

Valentine's Day Tea. Dues remained at $3.00 per year and membership
totaled 102 by the year's end. Business left over from 1982 (concerning
a volleyball set and a microwave oven) was finished. A volleyball set
was purchased with funds raised for that purpose in 1981r After a
meeting with the Departmental Representatives, the Executive Board
decided that LSO would not sponsor the purchase of a microwave oven for
the Staff Lounge in King North.
An informal group began meeting after work on Fridays at
Starthrowers and then, after Starthrowers closed, at High on Rose.
These get—togethers provided an opportunity to relax and to me¢t people
who work in other departments of the library.
a questionnaire was sent to the staff to survey interests and
solicit ideas. Five Brown Bag luncheons, coordinated by Jean Baugh fron
the Cooperative Extension Service, were held throughout the gee;.

presented to the retirees individually; in keeping with their wishes not
to have any formal recognition.

Dear Staff Organization
Thank you so much for the donation to the American Cancer Society
in memory of my mother, Evelyn Lepper.
Cancer is a very depressing and hopeless disease at this time and
each and every contribution to the Society is on additional step in the
fight against it.
Many of you expressed sympathy and words of care and encouragement
while my mom was ill, and at her time of death. I want to thank all oi
you for those expressions and again for the contribution to the American
Cancer Society.
Sincerely, ,
Christie Robinson, Cataloging V

Dear Karen:
I know your term of office has expired, but I don't know the name
of the new president, so I'll send this much overdue note to you.
I want to express my appreciation to the members of the Staff
Organization for inviting me to the lovely Christmas Luncheon, which I
. enjoyed very much. It's always good to come to the library — it means a
' great deal to the retired members, as well as the present staff.

  Dear Ms. Croneis
On behalf of the patients at University Hospital and the volunteers who
planned and delivered the Christmas gifts for them, I want to thank you 1
I and each member of_the Library Staff Organization who contributed so
generously toward the patients' Christmas. I l .
L This year we gave the patients poinsettia blossoms with Christmas greens
in milk glass vases. We have learned from experience that the patients .
appreciate a plant or flower which they can see and enjoy in their rooms
more than miscellaneous wrapped gifts. These were distributed by two
volunteers from the B Nai B'rith group on Christmas morning. One of
them dressed in a Santa Claus suit which did a lot to cheer up the
patients. 4
Please express to each member of your organization the gratitude of the
staff and the patients for your generous contribution.
With every good wish for the New Year, I am
Sincerely,
Mary J. Ireland,
Director of Volunteer Services
