Hi everyone,
Just a reminder that LISSO's Trivia Night at Winchell's is tomorrow, February 25.! The starting time has been bumped up to 7pm due to the UK game and it generally lasts for 2 hours.
Also, Dr. Huber's next Lunch'n'Learn will be held on Tuesday, March 2 from noon until 1pm. Dr. Ron Critchfield, Director of the Jessamine County Public Library will be presenting. His presentation is entitled "Won't Somebody Please Think of the Children? Managing Conflict in Jessamine."
Please note that the Lunch'n'Learn will be held in the School's large conference room, Room 311, rather than the student lounge. Pizza and drinks will be provided.
LISSO's Hap"pie" Hour will be the next day, March 3 at 6pm at Ramsey's.
Hope to see you at one if not all of these events!
LISSO

What's New in February?!
Hi everyone. As you can tell by the minutes in the previous post, we had a productive February meeting on the 17th. Thank you to everyone who came out!
A somewhat abridged version is as follows:
Upcoming Events:
- Trivia Night - Thursday, February 25th, at 8:00pm at Winchell's (348 Southland Ave).
- Hap"pie" Hour - Wednesday, March 3rd, at 6:00pm at Ramsey's (496 E. High St). Come for the drinks (2 for 1 drink specials until 7), stay for the pie! Missy's Pie, that is. A full menu of pie selections is found here: http://missyspieshop.com/missys.pdf although as a casual dining restaurant Ramsey's does offer a full menu also.
- Comps Orientation - Friday, March 5th at 5:00pm in the SLIS Lounge.
- Resume Workshop - Thursday, March 11th at 11:30 - 1:00pm in the SLIS lounge.

If you have any ideas for future event please let us know.
Other Business
- We would like to remind everyone that dues are $5 for the year so if you haven't paid your dues please do so. We will be having a drawing for a gift card to the UK Bookstore for those who pay their dues at the April picnic. You can pay your dues to any of the LISSO offers.
- Each year the students vote on the recipient for the LISSO leadership. Right now we are collecting nominations for the award and will have a school wide vote at the end of March. Students who graduated in December and will graduate in May are eligible for the award. We will send a list of the students out shortly with a call for nominations.
- To prepare for the next semester, LISSO would like all SLIS students who will be in the program for the 2010-2011 school year to consider an officer position in LISSO. Being an officer in LISSO is a great way to gain leadership experience and can be an attractive line on a resume. The positions that will be available are as follows:
President
Vice President
Secretary
Treasurer
Communications Officer
If you are interested in any of these positions please join us for our next LISSO meeting for more information. If you have any questions, comments, complaints, compliments, etcetera, please feel free to contact LISSO!
Our next LISSO meeting is Wednesday, March 10th at 5:00pm in the SLIS Student Lounge. As always, more information about LISSO events will be forthcoming and events have been added to the Google Calendar which can be found at the bottom of the blog.
Thank you!
