LCS volunteers basked in the summer sun while staffing the many tables of books donated by the national firm of Towers Perrin. Selections ranges from westerns by Louis L'Amour to classics by Charles Dickens and sci-fi like the Dune series. Bargain seekers also reviewed items brought by Lois Reece and Tom Crisalli. Donations for the books and other items
approached $300.

On a Wednesday afternoon, ESL students, tutors, and staff gathered to learn (or update) their CPR skills with Seattle Fire Fighter Bill Murrow instructing. After learning the basics [Airway, Breath, and Compression], participants practiced on lifelike mannequins. Everyone had a good workout and a good time as well.

Students, tutors, and friends assembled at the Crown Hill location to celebrate the LCS 40th Anniversary. A multi-media presentation included a narrated series of images from the archives of the LCS and pictured its 40-year evolution. In an awards ceremony, students were recognized for their hard won achievements and volunteers were recognized for their dedication to the mission of the LCS. The potluck buffet following was a rich spread of salads, cheeses, meats, and of course, birthday cakes. Renditions of Neapolitan songs gave a sensational end to the festivities. This celebration of the 40th Anniversary of the LCS saluted the energy of the past and signaled the goals of the future.
