STAFF, FOREIGN PARTNERS AND ADVISORS

• After nearly five years with Sabre, Project Director Suzanne Deehy left for Rwanda in October to work on the logistics of development projects with the International Action Against Hunger. Her organizational skills were especially valuable during the rapid growth and geographical expansion of the book donation program, and her idealism and dedication were an inspiration for her Sabre colleagues and partners in the field.

• Rebecca Schneider joined Sabre as Reference Librarian in the autumn of 1994. She is involved with the Internet-based Technical Assistance Project and is developing a "Virtual Reference Center" for use by clients in Eastern Europe and the FSU. Schneider is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Library and Information Studies, where she acquired extensive experience in on-line searching, Internet tools and training in special libraries.

• Sabre welcomed three new members to the Scientific Assistance Project Steering Committee during 1994: Leonard J. Baldyga, former director of the Office of European Affairs at the U.S. Information Agency; Mark T. Munger, a management consultant in Boston, who has provided useful advice for the Foundation's strategic planning; and James F. Munsell, a partner of Cleary, Gottlieb, Steen & Hamilton, which provides Sabre with pro bono legal services through its New York and Brussels offices.

• David Dunn, president and CEO of Dunn & Company, earned recognition from the U.S. Small Bus- iness Administration as Massachusetts Small Business Person of the Year for his innovative work in provid- ing out-of-the-ordinary bookbinding services for printers and publishers. Sabre's book warehousing operations have been housed in Dunn's Clinton, Massachusetts, facility since 1991, and Dave and his staff have given countless hours to helping Sabre with its storage and shipping needs. The gala Millionth Book luncheon was held in the Dunn warehouse in 1992.
