Committee Reports:
Curriculum
We are still working on the Spring 2012 curriculum. Several people have lined up classes….but
there are many more time slots to fill. Committee members – please continue to work on
setting up classes…..make those contacts and get something scheduled.
Attached is the current working copy of the calendar showing what has been scheduled thus far
and what openings we still have to fill. As before, please complete the Speaker Info Sheet for
each class you set up. This info is important and needs to be completed as soon as you set up a
class….we need the details on the speaker.
Thanks go to those helping on the committee. Remember, we take all volunteers – just let me
know you are interested and I’ll put you on the list.

Bus Trips
On August 9 we visited the Doc Porter Museum of Telephone History and the special exhibit on
Texas at the Houston Museum of Natural Science. ALL member Johnny Thompson was one of
our guides at the Telephone Museum. We were very impressed with the size of the museum.
This museum is definitely worth another visit. Lunch was at a real New York style Deli on

2. Westheimer: Katz Deli. The food was great. Our ticket to HMNS gave us admission to the Texas
exhibit as well as the museum’s permanent exhibits so our group had many options as to how
to spend their two hours.
On Sept 13 we go to Newman’s Castle in Bellville and tour historic Bellville.
Here are the bus dates for the fourth quarter.
October 1: Gonzalez Come and Get It Festival
November 6: Wurst Fest (choice of majority of bus committee)
December 22 – Santa’s Wonderland in Bryan/College Station- Ann Liner
Volunteers are still needed to plan the October and November trips. The cost of each trip and a
rough idea of the trip length needs to be determined prior to registration on September 10. A
working meeting of the bus trip committee will be held, together with the events committee, on
Tuesday, August 23, at 10 AM, location TBA.

Events
Registration for Fall classes will be held Saturday, September 10, from 9:30AM to noon. A
working meeting to plan for this event, together with the bus trip committee, is set for Tuesday,
August 23, at 10 AM, location TBA. Communications will be notified when details are set so
they can pass the information on.

Heritage Liaison
Nothing to report at this time.

Communication and Membership
The change in leadership from Gene Chism to Donn Peterson has gone smoothly. Our email list
needs to include Sharon and Tanya (front desk of CE). Also, there are some links currently listed
that are not working. Also, we may need to put in an announcement that there is no need for
ALL members to try and register for ALL classes before September 10th.
It was felt that a clarification was needed to be made about the two kinds of communication
sent out to ALL members from this committee. Pertinent articles from committee chairs would
need to be written up and sent to Donn Peterson.

3. ALL the News: This is to list and comment on the coming week’s ALL class schedule. It goes out
early Thursday mornings and the deadline for submissions is Wednesday at 6PM.
For ALL to Read: This is for information of general interest involving the ALL program and/or
Lonestar College events. It is not for personal announcements. This is sent out early Tuesday
mornings and the deadline for submissions is Monday at 6PM.
Some people have asked to be added as a guest to our email list. A problem is likely to come up
when we reach over 500 email addresses. While it is free to use, there is a limit of 500
addresses per submission per 24 hours. We may have to pay for a Google account to go over
500 addresses or split them into two group mailings.
Donn, Gene and Cheryl were to get together after this meeting to discuss communications,
including still pushing to have a membership number so we can pull a roster of members and
how to efficiently add new members’ information at registration.
Outreach We have distributed a few schedules. We will meet August 17th, regarding the LSC
foundation with Darcy Mingoya. Otherwise we are having a great, but hot summer.
