Friday at Five: Change of Location
In light of Mellow Mushroom, the location of our upcoming Friday at Five, run in with a car this past Sunday, LISSO has decided to change the location of this week's Friday at Five. The restaurant is still open, but LISSO has decided it might be better to change the location while they repair the damages. We will try and schedule another event Mellow Mushroom in the future.
The new location of this weeks Friday @ Five is Tin Roof at 303 S. Limestone. We will send out another reminder later in the week.
We hope to see you there!
Also, don't forget the discussion session with Dr. Case today at 5:00 pm in the SLIS lounge.
Have a great day!

LISSO as of 2010
LISSO held its first meeting of the Spring 2010 semester on Wednesday, January 20. Thank you to all who came.
It had been known that LISSO President Amanda Hazenfield would be graduating at the end of the Fall 2009 semester and as a result, LISSO Secretary Liz Siler graciously stepped up at the December meeting and volunteered to serve as LISSO President through the end of the 2009/10 school year. At the January meeting, SLIS student Sara Wood volunteered to fill the role of the then-vacant Secretary position.
LISSO is still currently searching for current SLIS students interested in joining the organization as current members will soon be graduating.
Some future events for the Spring 2010 semester include resume workshop, comps orientation, a trip to the Keeneland Library and/or race, spring picnic, more Fridays at five and Trivia nights, etc. We are always open to suggestions.

LISSO kicked off the semester with two notable events: our first Friday at Five at Lynagh's on January 29th and a Trivia night at Winchell's on February 4. Though the LISSO team did not ultimately manage to take first place at trivia, they reigned supreme through the majority of the game.
The next official LISSO event is another Friday at Five at the Mellow Mushroom on February 12. Our next LISSO meeting is February 17. Upcoming meetings are planned for these Wednesdays at 5p in the SLIS Student Lounge: March 10, and April 21.
Other LISSO and SLIS events are added to the calendar at the bottom of this blog. Please comment or drop us a line at our LISSO e-mail which is lissouk@gmail.com or contact any of the officers individually if you would like to see any more added or if you have any comments, suggestions, etc. We also have a Facebook account which is another great way of contacting and keeping up with all of the fun stuff we do.
Until next time,
LISSO
