Tonight's Football Game-
$5.00 GATE TICKET SALES UNTIL FULL.

URGENT REMINDER- PARKING or "there's very little parking"- - -

-mainly just street only, unless you know some folks in the area and can use their driveways.

HANDICAPPED PARKING - remember "90 Years" as a school? A long time - some of us are getting up there in years, and some of us just feel like it, so it's a real issue that will have to be much more clearly defined, by next home game at the lastest, I'd expect. This is so critical for Lincoln because of the huge incline from N. Broadway, and the stairs upon stairs by the "tennis"/basketball courts. Bad enough for able-bodied students. You have been there. You know.

(Oh, and I am not complaining, but just observing. If the handicapped parking and access issues are not addressed ASAP, there WILL be someone who WILL complain to get it "corrected" ultimately (= "litigation"), so let's get with it before it gets to that point. It's a civil rights issue like so many more of the things in the past from which we now benefit, so don't get too excited about LHS being "forced" to do anything. Get left out and you will feel differently about things. Elevators are being constructed throughout the school, but not yet done.... it will be a while for that to be ready.)

"Handicapped Parking" is not clearly established, at least at the Thursday alumni meeting, but compliance with ADEA and related laws is required. You may want to call the school's office- 323-221-4021- then "O" to get a live person.

BE EARLY OR CAR POOL OR EXPECT TO WALK FAR. Gates St. School is supposed to allow parking on their property, but a $3.00 fee was the word at the meeting. (Said to be due to Gates' liability concerns, but that fee just establishes the agreement to care for your car's safety, generally.)

SCHEDULE:
4:30 p.m. Alumni & other VIP in Girls' Gym for Reception.
6:30 p.m. Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony on Andrus Field and the new lights will be powered up.
7:00 p.m. Kickoff for the Lincoln Tigers v. the Roosevelt Rough Riders

Roosevelt colors are, as accurately as observed, crimson and gold- like USC. PLEASE avoid wearing those colors if you are a LINCOLN fan.

Lincoln colors- like if you could forget- are Orange and Black. (BTW, Homecoming is on Friday, October 31st.) Show some school spirit, wear your colors proudly.

Good Luck, Tigers!
