• Homecoming – Friday, October 5th, 2007 –The Alumni Council was involved in this event.  President Hardin served hot dogs, chips and beverages behind the President’s House before the football game.  Rob VanOver, the musical director at LCH, provided live music.  The Class of 1987 and 1992 began their reunion weekend by inviting their classmates to start the evening at the cookout. 

Future events:

• November 1 – Happy Hour – 5:30 at either Sal’s Patio, Oscar’s or Harry’s in the Lansdowne Shopping Center.  One site will be chosen after discussions with Malone’s.  Post cards will be mailed to Lexington area alumni.  All Alumni are welcomed and encouraged to come to mingle and network.
  
• Phone a thon – Alumni nights are November 14th & 15th.  Sandy Devers is still chairing this event.  She will need 8 – 10 alumni per night to make phone calls.  Pizza and beverages provided both nights.
  
• Career Day – January 10, 2008.  Once again, co-chaired by Susie Morton, Kathleen Quigley and Kerry Nemecek.  One change for this event is to drop the number of sessions from four to three.  Also, four speakers will have larger venues and the most requested careers by the students, will be put in the Theater, upstairs Theater, and the two upstairs Bueter Gym locations in order to accommodate the student numbers/three sessions.  Susie, Kathleen and Kerry will meet next week to update their progress.
  
• Hall of Fame Game – rescheduled to January 18th, 2008, which is the Winter Homecoming.  The inductees have been contacted and they will be recognized in between the girls and boys basketball games that day.  There is a chance that the game will be played at Memorial Coliseum because high attendance is expected with Mason County playing LCH.  Location and times TBA at a later date.
  
• Mid-Knight Stakes – February 2nd, 2008 – Although the Alumni Council is not directly involved in the chairing of this event, Alumni are always needed as volunteers and Debbie Schnurr will once again be in charge of that coordination.
  
• Alumni Lunch – Tuesday, February 5th 2008 – Fat Tuesday.  Where to meet???  Come to the next meeting with some suggestions.

With nothing further to discuss, the meeting was adjourned.
