LLCC Recital Series features Emerald Underground Sunday, April 3

emerald undergroundThe Emerald Underground will perform in the LLCC Recital Series on Sunday, April 3 at 4 p.m. in the Trutter Center on the Springfield campus. The recital is free and open to the public.

The Emerald Underground, consisting of Jack White, Chas Blythe, Megan Turner, Nat Radwine, Lori McKenzie and Bill McKenzie, brings Celtic music into the 21st century in a fusion of jigs, reels, ballads and rock-based tunes. What was originally the vision of former LLCC student Lanny Montgomery has evolved into the longest running Celtic band of its kind in central Illinois. In its 2001 origin as Stone Ring Circle, Montgomery brought together a band of musicians who had come from rock, blues, jazz and classical backgrounds to form a new and different sound for local audiences. More information on the evolution of the band is available at www.theemeraldunderground.net.

The final performance in the 2015-2016 LLCC Recital Series will be:
May 1 – Paul Van Heuklom – Native American Flutes

Office Supply Swap April 4 & 5

Fellow faculty and staff! Mark your calendars! The Finance Department is hosting an Office Supply Swap on April 4 and 5, 2016 in the R. H. Stephens Room. The way this will work is for all areas to collect supplies they no longer have a need for and bring them to the R. H. Stephens room on Monday, April 4 between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m. The 4th will strictly be drop off day. Tuesday, April 5, between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m., everyone is invited to come in and “shop” for items your office can use. You do NOT have to contribute items to shop for items.” This program is designed to eliminate waste and extend the usefulness of items we already have on campus as well as create a cost savings by not having to order certain supplies that may already be in existence but are not being used. Examples of items for the swap are as follows:

Basic Office Supplies –

  • staples, paperclips, tape, rulers, rubber bands, sticky notes, scissors, etc.
  • paper, cardstock, notepads, labels, envelopes, etc.
  • file folders, binders, tab dividers, report covers, etc.

Writing utensils Desk/Office Accessories –

  • book ends, drawer organizers, desktop organizers, staplers, hole punches, calculators, etc.
