Book Suggestion for Senior Parents
''Letting Go. A Parents' Guide to Understanding the College Years.'' by Karen Levin Coburn and Madge Lawrence Treeger.
This is a great book for parents of college bound students, especially helpful for parents sending their first child off to college. This book is full of practical advice and insight into what you and your child will be facing during this time apart. Topics include: the actual departure, homesickness, changing majors, transferring, roommates, boyfriends, girlfriends, late night phone calls home, classes, and much more. It will continue to be helpful during your child's college experience. I am still rereading my copy.

T.A.B. (Talk About Books)
All meetings are held at 7:00 pm in the LCC Library
What is T.A.B.? T.A.B. (Talk About Books) is a book club that was started in 2002, by those of us who love to read. It was started as a club where students could read and explore current books and authors on the bestseller's list. Over the years we have read and continue to read books by Harlan Coben, James Patterson, Dean Koontz, Dan Brown, Mary Higgins Clark and many others. Students may become a member at any time and are not required to read books that they are not interested in or they find offensive. A student may read one book or several over the school year and still be a member of T.A.B. All students, faculty, parents and friends of LCC are welcome to attend. We order pizza and discuss the books, students are asked to bring $3.00 if they are eating pizza. Come join us! 2007-2008 T.A.B.
