I would like to thank everyone for the emails, cards, messages, words of encouragement, offers of assistance, etc, upon the passing of my father in December. I have been overwhelmed by your kindness. It has been a difficult month, but it is so comforting to know I work with such a wonderful, caring group of people. Thank you again for your thoughtfulness. – Peggy Goetsch

Thank you to the LLCC Family for all the phone calls, texts, visits, food, flowers, and overall concern about my well-being following my recent surgery and two hospital admissions. It’s nice to know that so many people care so much! My holidays were very different this year but I am on the mend and doing much better. Thanks again.

Brrrr! The weather outside is frightful, staying warm is so delightful, and since we have many places to go…. Faculty and staff who are LLCC alums are warmly invited to stop by the Foundation Office and pick up a fleece scarf this week (while supplies last). Remember, the Alumni Association’s definition of an alum is anyone who has completed a minimum of three credit hours at LLCC. Stop in and visit and pick up your scarf!
