Calling all acts! Do you have a special talent such as singing, juggling or performing magic acts? Are you an Elvis impersonator in your free time? The theme of this year’s annual faculty and staff giving campaign, known as LEAGUE, is based on Las Vegas. The LEAGUE Committee is seeking “acts” to perform short (five-minutes or less) performances during the Las Vegas themed kickoff luncheon on Tuesday, March 26. In order to be considered, performers will be invited to attend a brief “audition” prior to the kickoff. Those interested should contact Barb Eades in the LLCC Foundation at 786-2255 or by email at Barbara.Eades@llcc.edu.

Tasty Italia another success
The Tasty Italia dinner was again held Saturday evening in the culinary labs and Bistro Verde. According to Karen Sanders, executive director of the LLCC Foundation, the event has been called both Joys of the Table and Tasty Italia. In 2015, community leaders Satch Pecori and Mike Aiello set out on a mission — a culinary journey of sorts — to help LLCC culinary students. Not only have their wonderful, tasty and joyful events directly helped students with scholarships, but also ensured that a group of students had an experience of a lifetime with a study abroad trip to Italy in 2018. All attendees ensure the success of these events as it has become one of the most sought after tickets in town! A very special thanks to Satch Pecori and Mike Aiello for the special investment in LLCC students.
