LINCOLN COLLEGE EMAIL NEWS SUMMER 2011 - EVENTS UPDATE Greetings from Lincoln College! The next full-length edition of Lincoln College Email News will be published at the start of Michaelmas term, and over the summer you will receive the 2011 edition of Imprint magazine to inform you of all the latest news from the College. In the meantime we wanted to take this opportunity to remind you of some College and University events coming up between now and the autumn, and in particular to announce the retirement party being organised for our long-serving Chef and Butler in September, and the launch of Lincoln’s new fundraising campaign planned for October. If you are in the right matriculation year or geographical area for any of these events, we will be delighted to see you there!
