From the President, Monica Fosmire Weber '73

Greetings, Loyal Lynx!
I hope those of you who live in the greater Seattle area can attend the LLAA Annual Meeting on November 23 at the Northgate Branch Library conference room. Elections will be held and modifications to our By-Laws will be presented. We are grateful that our very competent and dedicated Treasurer, Lynne Moehring Emmons (’72) has accepted the nomination yet again, and that a very new Class Rep, Jim Philbrick (’75), has willingly (I did not twist his arm) accepted the nomination for Vice President. We will be very fortunate to have him on the leadership team. Wherever you are, I hope you’ll join us in supporting these two candidates. Their contributions will be valuable to the ongoing life of our organization.
Also on the meeting agenda will be the details of a new needs-based scholarship we will begin offering this year to one graduating Lincoln senior in the amount of $15,000 from the Trust of David L. Morgan, Class of 1950, a very generous and loyal Lynx. He and his wife Shelley wish to annually provide the opportunity for higher education to a student who may not otherwise have access to it.
The All-Class Luncheon will take place on June 7, 2025, at a new location and venue: Aurora Borealis on Aurora Ave. N.in Shoreline. Luncheon Chair, Linda Ungar Strock (’62) will present the details behind the selection of this new venue at the meeting.
We have added a new position to the leadership team, that of Membership Chair. Jackie Bauer King (’67) has already been functioning in this capacity by reaching out beforehand to alumni whose memberships are about to expire. Many have opted to pay for multiple years in advance to avoid having to remember to renew each year. I’m one of them.
If you’re reading this and are not already a member (the website is accessible to all alumni), I hope you will consider joining. Your annual $20 will go a long way. But you don’t have to be a member to donate to the Scholarship Program. We continue to award scholarships to lineal descendants of Lincoln alumni as well as to graduating Lincoln seniors and your contributions are very much appreciated.
If you’ve changed your email address or think we might not have one for you, please send an email to jackie_king@comcast.net and she will check it out for you. Having this accurate contact information helps your Class Rep keep in touch with you regarding classmate news and upcoming events. It does make the years fall away to connect with those who knew you when you were young.
I wish you all the best during the upcoming holiday seasons, and continued health and happiness in 2025.
Warm regards,
Monica
