Co-President’s Column
    Spring has sprung! Or at least it is desperately trying to in the PNW. Trees are starting to bloom, and nothing seems to hold back the daffodils. It’s a hopeful time of year and summer is just around the corner.
    I want to start out by thanking a couple of retiring class reps who have committed years of volunteer service to the LLAA.
    Toni Meicho McCormick has represented the class of 1954 for many years. She has always stayed in touch with her classmates and done a wonderful job of organizing reunions and writing an informative Totem II column. We wish her all the best!
    I cannot thank Marie Bloyd Avis (1969) enough for all she has done for this organization. Marie has been the President, Totem II Editor, and the 1969 Class Rep. It’s because of Marie asking for help with the Totem II (many years ago), that I got involved in the LLAA. Marie has always had a positive, upbeat attitude. She has been the “spark plug” for her class and this organization. We appreciate all she has done for the LLAA. Blessings for the future, Marie.
    A big shout out to our Loyal Lynx who continue to renew their LLAA memberships (and those that become new members!). You make it possible for us to continue publishing the Totem II and cover our minimal operating expenses. Go to Alumni Login click here to renew/join.
    In addition, we really appreciate your Scholarship Fund donations – large or small – that allow the LLAA to offer annual scholarship awards to both deserving graduates of LHS and lineal descendants of LHS graduate students. Your Board of Directors made a change to the deadline for the Scholarship Applications and moved it up to April 15th!! See the Scholarships tab click here.
    Remembering when…”Those Were the Days.” Your All Class Luncheon committee is hard at work organizing this year’s luncheon on Saturday, June 10, at the Nile Shrine Center. Please register early. You will note that mail-in registrations, accompanied by a check, are $38/pp, however, if you choose to register online and pay by credit/debit card, the price is $40/pp to cover our LLAA processing fees. All registrations go up to $45/pp after May 31 and paid at-the-door. We are looking for Silent Auction items!! Remember this supports our Scholarship Program. AND we need volunteers! All additional information, forms, and registration can be found under Events click here.
    As alumni, you have an opportunity to support activities or just stay in touch with what’s going on at Lincoln. Their sports programs are strong and competitive. Now their music/drama programs can perform in their new auditorium. You can check out their calendar by accessing Lincoln’s website:          
https://lincolnhs.seattleschools.org/calendar/ or you can use their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/LincolnSeattle. Also, the students at Lincoln have developed an online newspaper, the Lincoln Log: https://lhslog.com/.
    I am so appreciative of those individuals that continually “show up” and engage in the ongoing business of our alumni association. In order to keep this organization moving forward, we must have more volunteers! It is unreasonable to expect the same group to continue in their administrative roles of running the alumni organization, year after year. We are at a disadvantage with Lincoln being closed for almost 40 years…no new alumni to fill the gap. Right now, especially for a school with a 40 yr. closure, we probably have one of the most organized, active alumni associations. However, IT TAKES A VILLAGE! Please consider the minimal amount of time it takes to support your alumni association. (We need Class Reps for 1949, 1951, 1954, 1959, 1971, 1976, 1978).
    My second two-year term as President (now Co-President) is up the end of this year. I will be retiring and only taking on a supportive role within the organization. You will be electing a new President in October. We need strong leadership; someone with a vision of what this organization can be and where it’s going. Who will that be? If you want to have a say, get involved.
     “Where flowers bloom, so does hope.” Enjoy your spring and summer!
    See you at the luncheon!!
