Committee Reports:
Curriculum Committee
Spring 2013 Semester is here and we have a good line up of classes. Hopefully we won't have a
many last minute changes this semester....we just have to go with the flow. The fact is there
will always be last minute schedule changes due to illness or other commitments of the guest
speakers. The advisory board has had long discussions on how to better handle notifications to
our members. They have come up with a new idea which will be presented by the
Communications Chairman, Donn Peterson.
As always, the Curriculum Committee welcomes ALL members who would like to offer class
suggestions and help with the behind-the-scenes planning. Classes are the "heart" of the ALL
program.....so please encourage members to join this committee and make a contribution.
Sarah Walter, Curriculum Committee Chairman
There are still openings in April and May of 2013. Need to start thinking now about Fall classes
(as we are no longer offering a Summer schedule). Narrow down the best days, mornings or
afternoons, and then approach a potential guest presenter.
Bus Trips
The bus trip committee has been very busy. We have six bus trips planned and ready for
registration on January 19.
Our bus dates for the first quarter are
Tuesday, January 29: Tour of Minute Maid Park and visit to Holocaust Museum

Events Committee
I have a wonderful group of volunteers lined up for Orientation/Open House on Saturday,
January 19th. (9 AM to noon – get registered, sign up for bus trips and fee classes, get Spring
2013 stickers) I only need a few places filled. I would like to have a meeting on Friday, January
18, at 6pm in the Conference Center to show you your position and give details for Saturday's
Registration. We need a little help getting things put on the walls for this event. Come if you
can, it is not mandatory. I will go over info at 8:30 am Saturday.
Respectfully submitted, Kathye Allen
Heritage Liaison
Susan Chapman will continue to post bulletin board announcements and give reports on ALL to
her Heritage group.
Communication and Membership
Gene reports that we have 594 members on our rolls. I show 476 current contacts, 182 non
current and 10 guest contacts. Yielding a total of 668 contacts (eight more were added that
morning).
I have been busy getting the spread sheet set up to send out the spring schedule to our
members and working on the first ALL the news that will go out.
As you are aware we have been looking at another vehicle to send information to our members
in the hope that we can address some of the issues that plague us all the year.
The next ALL the news will carry information about Library programs and the spring schedule
for the Center for the Arts. It is hoped that the administration of the system recognize the
support that ALL provides the programs here on campus.
Also, some time has been sent looking at options to getting information out to our members.
There will be another meeting tomorrow to discuss how this is to be done and within what time
frame. (See Action Items)
The issue of parking permits for members of ALL is still unresolved to my knowledge.
Respectfully submitted, Donn Peterson

3. Outreach
We do not have anything to report at this time.
Connie Nelson and Judy Dankers
They were contacted by Eagle’s Trace requesting that we bring programs to them. We have to
decline as that service is not available.
Publicity
I didn't do a publicity release for spring registration. I did do releases for the last three
registrations and none of them made any papers that I saw. However, since somehow we were
able to attract 100+ new members for the Fall 2912 registration, I felt that we were in good
shape in getting new members.

Meet You There
I did not have a Meet You There event in November or December. I was away most of
November and December is too busy for most people. I am planning on a field trip to Pearl
Fincher Museum of Fine Arts on Friday Feb. 8 at 10:30 and lunch at Hasta La Pasta, which is
near the museum. The museum is located at 6815 Cypresswood Drive, Spring TX 77379. The
restaurant is at 6915 Cypresswood Drive, Spring TX. Meet You There had a tour planned for last
June 2012, but it was cancelled due to no interest. Hopefully this will be a better time of year
to have it.
I will not plan an event every month, maybe every other month.
Maureen Cummings
Maureen is planning to retire after this semester.
Action Items
1) We are reaching our limit as a group on email address numbers and two emails sent out a
week. And now we have to send out more for updating things like class cancelations and last
minute room changes. Donn Peterson has created a blog to take the place of ALL the news.
Starting on February 14, our regular blog (lsccyfairall.blogspot.com) will contain a link to our
new weekly ALL the news blog (allthenewscyfair.blogspot.com), which will also have a link back.
Some of us will just need to learn a new thing.
2) Advisory committee chairs have received invitations to a Chancellor’s Reception on Friday,
January 25. Some questions to ask will be about parking on campus and background checks for
presenters.
3) There is an official campus parking office now. Plans are for us to have an ALL specific
template under the guest category. We are not to worry about it until further notice. You can
go into the system now and register as a student if you want but there is no hurry. If you did
that for last year, you would need to repeat it as it has now expired.

4. 12:05 Adjourned
This meeting was adjourned at 12:05 PM. The next Advisory Committee meeting is scheduled
for Wednesday, February 20, 2013, at 11:15 AM in HSC, room 106.
Respectfully submitted,
Anne Criddle, Secretary
