LBC brings senators together for holidays
Dec. 1, 2006
The meeting tables in the assembly room at the Gaines/Oldham Black Culture Center were not lined in rows and ready for the formal Legion of Black Collegians Senate meeting that usually convenes Wednesday.
Instead, the tables were formed into small clusters, an arrangement suited for a social gathering.
After the executive board made several brief announcements and the meeting was adjourned amid gales of laughter, LBC members quickly made the transition from meeting to holiday party.
Activities Committee Chairwoman Natasha Mercer said she and the activities committee began planning for the LBC holiday party earlier in November.
"This party was for our senators as opposed to being open for the public," she said. "We wanted to thank our senators for all of their hard work during this semester."
The festivities began with a game in which three LBC members won a tin of holiday treats.
After the game ended, attendees ate a dinner of fried chicken, mashed potatoes and biscuits as they sat and socialized.
Shortly after, LBC President Jabari Turner played host to the night's second and last game, in which he posed five trivia questions about LBC and its history.
The party slowly came to an end as people ended their conversations and the punch bowl ran low.
"The turnout was about what we expected," said Bianca Tillard-Gates, chairwoman of the 10 Demands Special Committee. "I didn't expect everyone to come, but it was wonderful."
