11:15 AM Call to Order
Cheryl LeJune called the meeting to order and welcomed members. There were no corrections
to the March minutes. Due to a conflict with another ALL class, the meeting was moved to HSC,
Room 113.
Committee Reports:
Curriculum
The updated Fall 2012 Calendar is available at the meeting. There are still some open class
times in December. I've asked the committee members to finalize their program suggestions
and Speaker Sheets by next Friday, April 27th. Everyone has worked hard toward making
another semester of fun and meaningful classes.
Thanks to all committee members.
Comment from Kenya White: The college system will be closely reviewing room utilization in
order to most effectively use the space. Any changes are not expected until Spring 2013, so no
changes expected for the ALL Fall 2012 schedule.

Bus Trips
The April 16 bus trip was scheduled to go to the Rosenberg Railroad Museum and then to
Gundermann Acres Organic Farm. Due to heavy rains in the area the previous night and the
farm portion of the trip had to be cancelled. We had some very interesting docents at the
railroad museum. Highlights of our visit were a fancy box car owned by the first prime minister
of Canada, a very elaborate model train and a tour of a caboose. Lunch was at Another Time
Soda Fountain & Café. Both the museum & café opened that day just for our group. A special
thanks goes to Don Hobart for all of his hard work in arranging this trip. A refund of $10 was
given to those on the trip since we were unable to get our produce basket.
Bus trips are planned for the following dates:
May 31st (Thursday): Aquarena Springs and Wimberley Glassworks in San Marcos
June 26 (Tuesday): Moody Gardens

2. We have a bus for each month of the third quarter as follows: Tuesday, July 31; Monday,
August 13th, and Sunday, September 16th. A committee is scheduled for Friday, April 27,
at noon, in Tech 124A to plan these trips.
An issue facing this committee is the high number of cancellations. Out of the 39 people
who originally signed up and paid for the trip, 15 cancelled. Seven of those 15 cancelled by the
deadline and will receive a refund, the other eight will not.

Additional Items
Volunteer Opportunities for ALL Members:
1. Student Symposium, May 3rd, from 3pm-6.30pm with dinner after. ALL members are
being asked to host the rooms where students, nominated by their professors, will
present their work. Commitment can be from 1-3 hours. Several ALL members were
hosts last year and really enjoyed the opportunity to talk to and help present the

4. students’ work. Contact Cheryl LeJune, lejunec@sbcglobal.net, with questions and/or
to volunteer.
2. Student Services – Melissa Rosson, Manager of Student Information Services, has asked
if any of our ALL members would be interested in helping cover the Welcome Desk in
the Student Services area. For our members who are looking for a reason to get out of
the house a few hours a week and provide a great service to the community and the
college, this would be a good job for you. The main responsibility is to welcome
students and their families to campus and help point them in the right direction.
Contact Cheryl LeJune, lejunec@sbcglobal.net, with questions and/or to volunteer.
3. Last weekend, several ALL members helped with the Discovery College events on
campus; the student registration and the instructor Job Fair. The ALL volunteers helped
talk to potential instructors and answer questions they had. We also helped direct
people to the right place.

This meeting was adjourned at 12:55 PM. The next Advisory Committee meeting is scheduled
