Come take a selfie with Edgar Allan Poe, who will be haunting the Writing Center with his pet raven; peruse the stack of free books, many of which have been donated by Land of Lincoln Bookshare; and pick up a Writing Center bookmark that you can customize with your own favorite quotes and motivations for writing.

I am writing to ask you to consider a gift to the LLCC employee giving program through United Way. This program allows LLCC employees to give to local charities, or any qualified charity, though convenient payroll deduction or a one-time or recurring gift.
100% of your donation goes directly to the charity of your choice, thanks to generous corporate underwriters. 100% of your donation to United Way supports local program services. Click here or see the brochure in the letter sent via campus mail for a list of local agencies supported by United Way of Central Illinois. If you live outside Sangamon or Menard Counties, you may even designate your gift to your local United Way.
New this year: you can make your donation online! Click here or text LLCCUNITED to 41444. You may also continue to use the paper form included with the letter sent via campus mail. Please return paper forms to your group representative listed below.
How do our gifts impact the local community? They support agencies like Compass for Kids, providing after-school and summer academic enrichment services to at-risk children. St. John’s Breadline, Mini O’Beirne Crisis Nursery, Helping Hands of Springfield and Senior Services of Central Illinois are a few of the many other agencies our gifts impact as they work to provide for basic needs, education, financial stability and health of local individuals.
This year’s LLCC employee giving program through United Way will be Oct. 29-Nov. 9. Each donor will receive a sticker for a “jeans day” of their choice, and is placed in a drawing for multiple gift cards to be given away on Professional Development Day Tuesday, Nov. 6. Anyone who fills out their pledge form or makes a gift by that afternoon will be eligible for the gift card drawing.
Thank you for considering a gift to help those in need in our communities.

LLCC has been honored as “Best Continuing Education” in the Life & Wellness category of Illinois Times’ Best of Springfield 2018. The IT article states, “… they understand that education, but more importantly learning, shouldn’t stop at any age.”
The LLCC Chemistry Club will host the sixth annual “Haunted Lab” this evening from 5-6:30 p.m. in upper Sangamon Hall.
Children ages five and older and their parents/guardians are invited to the free event. Pre-registration is required at www.llcc.edu/haunted-lab.
Children will see “spooky” science demonstrations and learn about experiments they can do at home. Experiments will be conducted by club members under the guidance of Jennifer Ramm, LLCC professor of chemistry.
Science demonstration shows will run about 20 minutes and will take place in Sangamon Hall Rooms 2213 and 2215. Children will see bubbles, color changes, fire and much more as they learn about science.
Shows begin every 15 minutes at 5, 5:15, 5:30, 5:45, 6 and 6:15 p.m. While waiting for shows to begin, children can participate in hands-on activities and face painting across the hall in Room 2216.
Children are welcome to wear Halloween costumes to the event. Snacks and drinks will be available for purchase.

The sidewalk lighting project for the north side of the Springfield campus has begun. This project will add lighting to the walkways and approaches around Cass Gymnasium, Menard Hall, A. Lincoln Commons, Sangamon Hall, Millennium Center, the bus stop on Poorman Drive, the prairie on Foundation Drive (as you turn off Poorman Drive toward Workforce Careers Center), and the sidewalk to the east of parking lot 16. Occasionally, it will be necessary to close lanes on Foundation Drive and Poorman Drive to complete the installation of utilities and light fixtures. The lane closures will be during normal work hours of 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Monday-Friday, and the contractor will be providing traffic control. Please use caution when entering the Springfield campus during these hours.
Your patience is appreciated as we work to improve the safety and security of the Springfield campus. Please don’t hesitate to contact Tim Ervin at 786-9605 with any issues related to this project.
