RMSLA’s first ever Pub Quiz fundraiser was a great success! More than 40 people participated (in creatively named teams of up to 6), and we raised $320 for the Rebecca Jackson scholarship fund. Thanks to everyone who showed up to the event and to those who donated an extra amount to the scholarship.

Q: So, what was the Neil Diamond song in Pulp Fiction, anyway??

A: “Girl, You’ll Be a Woman Soon,” version by Urge Overkill. (Learn more.)

We received a lot of positive feedback and hope to do more events like this. Thanks to Geeks Who Drink for coordinating the event (and kudos to Tina J for her lightning-fast handling of the cash).

See the Geeks website for team scores (note – language hazard).

Donations to the scholarship can still be made. We are updating our information on where to send checks. Please stay tuned.

Come on out for trivia night & to raise money for the Rebecca Jackson Memorial Scholarship. This year’s event calls for your participation in one of the well-known area pub quiz nights (a.k.a. trivia) at the Pioneer 2401. S. University (near DU)  on Wednesday, June 1, 2011 at 8pm.This is a Geeks Who Drink / Quiz for a Cause event.

We need 25 of you to come and play. We are asking (ok begging) you to come to this fun and worthy event. There is a $5 buy-in to play and a chance to win 50% of the pool. We are asking for another (optional) $5 to go entirely to the scholarship.

As usual, the money raised goes to an MLIS student (and SLA member) in the region who shows financial need along with academic merit.
