Dear Alumni Association Members,
I would like to take this opportunity to greet all of you with a spirit of cooperation, respect, vision and a sincere work ethic. I humbly request your support to make this association your association . This is also my first official website message to you as your new president for the year 2005. I am thankful for the opportunity to serve but equally excited about the potential growth of the association. I look forward to working with all of you in the near future on a number of immediate initiatives that will create a solid foundation as we move forward.
Thank you to the other Executive Officers:
Vice President - Andre Kellum '89
Treasurer - Eric Warren '81
Secretary - Lovetta Houston ‘83’
Directors:
Director - Tom Sisul '60'
Director - Derek Burns '86'
The officers and directors will give their personal best to make this association meaningful to its members, and supportive to present and future students that will share the unique experiences we had at Lindblom. I am encouraging your support to serve on the various committees to further foster the vision and spirit for our association. The year 2005 will be a rewarding year for the Lindblom family. I am hopeful those as we grow, we will have a greater impact on the young eaglet’s and generate more interaction among our vast alumni base.
The new Renaissance that will kick-off in the fall 0f 2005 is viewed with optimism, great anticipation and many questions. Lindblom is transitioning to another level of academic leadership as we seek to reclaim our position and again set the pace for other schools to follow. We will again soar high and swoop to get down in the areas of educational excellence, special programming initiatives, sports and setting the bar for other Chicago Public High Schools. Our unique experiences at Lindblom prepared us for life and our graduates are second to none nationally and internationally. We have left large foot prints in all areas of academia and business. We will share some of those successes in the future as we develop our database and our website. Lindblom is truly special. We need your support and involvement.
Future meeting dates will be posted on the website and announcements will be made prior to each meeting. Please try to attend. Additionally, please provide recommendations or feedback to the site managers. We value your input.
I thank you all in advance for your hard work and dedication as we work to build this association. Let us come together and do this for our members and future Eagles.
Go Eagles……………Swoop Swoop Swoop
