Hola Smarties !

I hope everyone is geared-up for spring semester.  As you know it's LACC Foundation Scholarship Season.  Most all of the scholarships can be downloaded from the college website.  DON'T forget to get your applications in for Bookstore Vouchers ASAP!  I have a ton with me so if you see me rolling around campus please stop...say hi... hit me up for an application. Gail Scanlan, Associate Executive Director of the LACC Scholarship Foundation, has asked us Kappans & RBS'ers to help out over the next few months.  The Foundation is looking for volunteers to man tables around campus in two hour shifts from Mon-Thur 10:00-16:00.  The locations are: Main Quad, outside of the MLK Library, in front of Tully's, and inside the Student Union.  Basically... one or two student volunteers would sit for a few hours with all of the scholarship applications, chat up passing students, and direct them to the Foundation for $$$$$$$ !  

The best part about this volunteer opportunity is that you'll get face-time with the staff at the Foundation (so they will be able to put faces to all of those applications they sort through).  Also...it will give you the opportunity to have a better understanding of the application process AND make inquiries about selection committees.  Ms. Scanlan has agreed to issue letters verifying service hours to those RBS'ers who are looking for volunteer opportunities!  If you're interested please email me directly :  gilbertschool@icloud.com 

Our First PTK/Honors Club Meeting will be next week, Wed 13 Feb @ 3pm in the Student Union (room assignment to follow).  Please bring a friend and TELL EVERYONE! Check out our blog because it's quite likely that your face is on the home page OR... the slide show of photos that Fiona uploaded TODAY... as in just moments ago !  It's really pretty terrific and we should all be sure to thank Fi in person for a JOB WELL DONE.
