Springfield Sliders game tomorrow
We’re looking forward to joining LLCC faculty and staff at the upcoming Springfield Sliders game tomorrow, July 1! The latest weather forecast is in our favor for a beautiful night at the ballpark.
A few logistics: Game time is 6:35 p.m. Gates open at 5:35. While outside food/drink is permitted in the parking lot, it cannot be brought into the stadium. Concessions are available for purchase inside the stadium. The tickets are “general admission,” so there is no assigned seating. However, we will try to sit together as much as possible. Wear an LLCC shirt, and look for a section with your fellow LLCC colleagues!
Purchase an engraved brick and etch your name in history
The LLCC Foundation is offering another opportunity to purchase engraved bricks to be placed in the SteppingSTONES courtyard just outside of A. Lincoln Commons on the Springfield campus. There are two sizes available 8” x 4” (with three lines of engraving) for $100 or 8” x 8” (with five lines of engraving) for $250. Bricks are limited and make great gifts for faculty, staff, students, retirees and alumni, or purchase one for yourself.
Proceeds benefit the LLCC Foundation’s Grow Beyond Endowment Fund, which assists students through scholarships and emergency, short-term help; supports new initiatives; and creates flexible, state-of-the-art learning environments.
Purchase an engraved brick today by ordering online at https://llccfoundation.org/buy-a-brick or contact the LLCC Foundation for a brick order form. For more information, please contact the Foundation at 217-786-2785.
