Hi all! We are Charles and Ben. We both go to/went to Queens College for our MLS degrees, and we will be going to Saratoga Springs, NY for the NYLA Conference on Friday, 7 November 2025 (the actual conference runs from 5 to 8 November, but we will only be joining on 7 November due to scheduling conflicts prior). We will be carpooling from Long Island (since we both live here) up to Saratoga Springs, and will be returning to LI via Western MA and CT to be more environmentally conscious and to utilize the ferry (rather than going around NYC and driving a longer but faster distance).

Funds raised will go to conference registration (105 for Charles's student registration and 205 for Ben's regular registration, as Ben has graduated and obtained his MLS), conference lodging (180), lodging in Western MA on the way back (~250), the ferry (130), and all other expenses (food, gas, etc.).

Thanks for your consideration and support!
