What's coming up? LHS Alumni January meeting

"WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK"

Maybe not. Well, if you don't post one day and then don't do it again each day until now, you get a big break in the blog like here. But a lot happened in that big month of a break- some of it noted below.

So the constant rains have subsided for a while, the Rose Parade has come and gone and Lincoln High's pilot program participation for an early beginning the school year in August is now adopted by the LAUSD district-wide, beginning next August. A few days later, we get some very cold weather- and "cold" to L.A. natives comes in at a higher mark on the thermometer than for people coming to L.A. from other parts of the county. But it was very cold for a while compared to other cold spells.

There was a Christmas Parade in Lincoln Heights down North Broadway on what may have been the hottest day in December, with a few participants needing some help at the end from the paramedics and police on duty. Roosevelt High made its appearance for the first time in this parade.

When I was last following the season, the LHS Tigers varsity football team was going into the city playoffs with a pretty impressive record but then encountered an early loss on the road, ending the 2010 season much better than we've seen in recent memory. The team, coaches and supporting personnel all deserve a big hand for the work put into a very successful season.


ALUMNI ASSOCIATION MEETING

After taking the month off in December, the Alumni Association is having the first meeting for the year at 9:30am on Saturday. I don't have the location down as a certainty, as the meetings were last held at the "Cafe in the Heights" after a long run at the LHS camus across the street in either the student cafeteria or the teachers' cafeteria. So more on that coming up.

There's another dance coming up in Spring that should be as good as the last one. It has a good chance of that happening probably because it will be held at the same location, Maggie's Pub in Santa Fe Springs. More details coming, or check http://www.classmates.com/ for the event.

So, there's the quick recap and now to put my writen here for a while instead of on other people's blogs.

Alumni Meeting Saturday, location change

It's time again for another Alumni Association meeting, and there's a location change that was noted in the email from Mike Ibarra.

It will be at the regular time, 9:30 a.m. but across the streed at the Cafe in the Heights, 3510 North Broadway. Recall that LHS is at 3501 N. Broadway- "Downtown" as many of my teacher trainee colleagues from across the city's expanses called it- but not to us. It's still the Eastside- but not it's not quite "East L.A." as many others like to pigeonhole the school and it's issues.

I don't know why there's a meeting change since school's back in session- add that to the list of things going on with the school and the alumni association that I don't know about. I can only report what people share with me or what I observe first-hand, and this isn't part of that at this time.

There are s few events coming up and I know little about them- especially the poker tournament. My knowledge about poker calls up some freshman memories of college when all-night card games were the cause of some of the more financially well-off students being relieved of some sizeable amounts of cash. That disinterest in poker holds to this day for me.

That tournament is happening on the 28th of August and you can see the sidebar link for the LHS link and see under the Alumni tab for more.
