Early October Update
LISSO continues with its Friday at Five events after a week's hiatus, this time at Joe Bologna's. Joe B's is a wonderful Italian restaurant located just north of campus (117 E Maxwell St, Lexington KY).
For this event, LISSO is asking that you arrive as close to 5 as possible as Joe B's does not take reservations and will not seat our party until everyone is there.
We hope to see you this Friday, October 9 at Five! And also, don't forget about our October Business Meeting which is October 14 at 5:00pm in the SLIS Student Lounge. We can't wait to hear what you have to say!
