Prof. Barry L. Houser, Director of Marching Illini
The University of Illinois Marching Illini is proud to be
one of our nation's premiere college marching bands. The
unique style of the Marching Illini represents a
combination of time-honored traditions and exciting
innovations. The Marching Illini annually performs at
all home Fighting Illini football games. In addition to
these spectacular performances before Memorial Stadium
crowds, the Marching Illini travels to at least one away
game per football season. The Marching Illini also showcases its world-renowned musicianship and showmanship
at the annually sold-out Assembly Hall Concert. Serving
as host and performing in exhibition at the close of the
annual Illinois Marching Band Championships presents
yet another opportunity for the Marching Illini to show
why it is "The Best Band in the Land." The Marching
Illini is a very select and close-knit organization which
annually includes approximately 350 of the University of
Illinois' finest and most dedicated students. Members of
the Marching Illini represent virtually every college,
discipline and major on the diverse UIUC campus.
Professor Barry L. Houser was named as Visiting Assistant Director of Bands and
Conductor of Athletics Bands (including Director of the Marching Illini & Basketball
Band) in July 2011. Professor Houser served as Director of the Marching Panthers
and Basketball Band while also serving as Acting Director of Bands at EIU from 2008
to 2011 after receiving a graduate degree from the University of Illinois.
The Marching Illini can also lay claim to
several firsts, which are listed on the
band's official website. These include:

The Illinettes Dance Team
The Illinettes Dance Team is the official dance team of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and
are officially part of the Marching Illini, "The Nation's Premier College Marching Band." This team of 28
girls specializes in pom and jazz and performs at all home football, men's and women's basketball games as
well as other various university functions. In addition to spectacular performances before Memorial Stadium
and Assembly Hall crowds, the Illinettes are part of every facet of the Marching Illini and travel to at least one
away game per football season along with any post season bowl games. Since the team dances a new halftime
drill and performance at each home game as well as sideline routines throughout each Fighting Illini game,
it is a very fast-paced routine and drill learning squad. With approximately eight hours of Marching Illini
rehearsal in the fall term and six hours of additional dance practice a week, the Illinettes Dance Team is a
large time commitment. However, the Illinettes still find time to excel academically as well as participate in
various social, philanthropic, and community events.

Phillips, Curator
& Reptile Collection
History Survey
I'm looking forward to this
program. In 1997 the fantastic
University of Illinois Museum
of Natural History was transferred
to the Illinois Natural History Survey (INHS). With 100,000 catalogued specimens,
it's one of the largest amphibian & reptile collections in North America. When I was a
student at the U of I in the early 1960s I had classes in the old Natural History
Building next to the Illini Union on Wright Street. and the museum was housed on the
top floors of that building. I very much enjoyed visiting the museum and looking
through the fabulous collection. (My former neighbor,
UIUC professor Dr. Donald Hoffmeister, was the
museum curator.) Due to the age and deterioration of
the building's structure (it's the oldest teaching facility
on the campus) the museum was permanently transferred
to the INHS. One day I hope to take a tour of the new
museum in the INHS facilities on the south campus.
March Board Meeting Will Follow Our Luncheon
17 March 2013
Saint Patrick's Day
Saint Patrick's Day is in honor of the Patron
Saint of Ireland, who brought Christianity to
the Emerald Isle. It is truly a day of celebrating
Irish history, ancestry, traditions and customs. I
don't celebrate this holiday because I don't
consider myself Irish even though I am 1/8 Irish. I'm also 1/8 Swiss, 1/8 Scottish, 1/8
German, 1/8 Welsh and 1/2 English and consider myself an English-American.

Mike Lindemann, Director
Christie Clinic Illinois Marathon
This will be the fifth year for the Christie
Clinic Illinois Marathon in ChampaignUrbana. The dates of this year's marathon
are April 25-27 with registration closing on
April 15. From its humble beginnings in
2009 the marathon has quickly grown to
20,000 entrants in six categories - Marathon (3,000 entrants), Half
Marathon (8,000), 10K (3,000), 5K (5,600), Relay Teams (250), and Youth (1,500).
Medals are presented for all entrants who finish their events and the finish line is the
50-yard line of Memorial Stadium. On a personal note, as you all know Nancy and I
live in the Maynard Lake Subdivision and the marathon comes through the
subdivision at about the 19-mile mark at the end of our street just five houses away.

Adam Smith, Chairman
Historic Preservation Commission
The Historic Preservation Commission
identifies properties, structures and areas that are
historically significant. This Commission also
advises the Plan Commission and City Council on
the designation of Landmarks and Preservation &
Historic Districts. The HPC also acts to protect a
landmark’s visual characteristics by reviewing,
giving advice, and reviewing exterior changes to
the exterior appearance of designated properties.

The 102nd Anniversary of
the National Exchange Club
On 27 March 2012 National Exchange will celebrate its
102nd Anniversary. Charles A. Berkey is credited with
the founding of this great organization. At his suggestion,
the name “Exchange” was selected because the group wanted to exchange ideas and
information with like-minded individuals about how to better serve their communities.
It all started in 1896, when a group of men, a cross section of Detroit’s business and
professional community, met for no more noble purpose than to eat lunch. Initially,
the meetings were occasional and informal. The men were friends who simply
enjoyed the pleasure of each other’s company. They swapped stories, compared
views and advised each other on the conduct of business. The idea of recruiting
representatives from the varied businesses and professions gradually developed until
the group known as the Boosters’ Club took on many
attributes of a luncheon club. We'll have birthday cake today!
31 March 2013
Easter Sunday
This is when Christians celebrate the Resurrection of Christ. To Christians this is
the most special day of the year. To children it means the Easter Bunny, colored
eggs, jelly beans, and lots and lots of chocolate (I like chocolate too!)
April 2012
Child Abuse Prevention Month
During April our club participates in Child Abuse Prevention
Programs. In the middle of the month we'll participate in the Believe
in the Blue where we will be distributing Child Abuse Prevention
pamphlets and children’s activity-coloring books and crayons to the
Crisis Nursery and other agencies in our community.
Coming Events
1 April 2013
Chief Doug Forsman &
Firefighter of the Year Award
This will be the 37th time our club honors one or more
firefighters from the Champaign Fire Department Our club has honored 51
deserving Champaign Firefighters over the past 36 years. In addition to honoring a
deserving firefighter we'll have Chief Doug Forsman join us and give an update on
the department and any pending changes including future fire substation plans.

Sue Wood, Chairperson
Champaign County
Historical Museum
Located in Campaign, the Champaign County Historical
Museum sits within the historic 1857 Cattle Bank
Building, the oldest commercial building in Champaign.
Inside the museum you will find many preserved and displayed artifacts collected over
the years from Champaign County and serving to remember the people and events of
County history! There are four rooms full of exhibits - Military Room, Toy Room,
Victorian Room, and Ballroom. Located at the corner of First Street and University
Avenue across the street from the Champaign Police Station, the Museum's open to the
public on Saturday and Sunday afternoons from 12:00 noon to 5:00 pm.
15 April 2013
Dorothy David
Champaign City Manager
Nancy has arranged for new City Manager Dorothy David to
speak to our club just 15 days after officially assuming the
duties as city manager. This will be the first opportunity for
most of us to meet and get to know Dorothy.
Dorothy has been sort of the "lady in waiting" or at least the "lady in training", if you
will, as she's spent the past 18 years working under current City Manager Steve
Carter. She was hired as the Neighborhood Services Director in 1994 and later
appointed an Assistant City Manager in 2007. As the Assistant City Manager
Dorothy was the Chief Operating Officer.
20 April 2013
Believe in the Blue
Last April we distributed Exchange literature on the Prevention of Child
Abuse Through Better Parenting at the Wal-Mart Store in Savoy. We
hope to do the same thing again this April. Let's keep our fingers and toes
crossed that we have as nice a Saturday this coming April as it was the last year.
Coming Events
22 April 2013
Chief Anthony Cobb &
Police Officer of the Year
This will be the 36th year our club will honor a member of
Champaign's "finest". Last year we honored Detective Mark Vogelzang as our
2011-12 Police Officer of the Year and had an opportunity to meet new Champaign
Police Chief Anthony Cobb. From all indications Chief Cobb has done a wonderful
job of uniting the department and the community. We may also be presenting more
Time Out Teddy Bears to the Police Department at this meeting to replenish the
stock we presented to them last year.
6 or 20 May 2013
A.C.E. Award (Accepting
the Challenge of Excellence)
In May our club will present the Annual A.C.E. Award to a deserving Champaign
high school senior. The award is for overcoming physical or social problems to earn a
diploma. Richard Adkins is our committee chairman.
12 May 2013
Mother's Day
Mother’s Day was officially recognized in the United States in
1914 and it’s celebrated the second Sunday in May. Today is a
great time for us to recognize and thank all the mothers for everything they do.
13 May 2013
Nursing Scholarship Award
Our Nursing Scholarship Committee Chair Wally Lehman
will be presenting this year’s recipient a $750 scholarship to
continue his or her education at an area university or college in
nursing. I believe this program goes back to the early 1960s
and I have records of us awarding 53 scholarships and over
$25,000 since the early 1970s. I hate to see interest rates return to late 1970s level but
it would be great if we could earn more on our endowment so we could give larger
scholarships.
27 May 2013
No Noon Meeting
Memorial Day Holiday
Celebrated on the last Monday of each May,
Memorial Day originated after the Civil War to
commemorate fallen Union Soldiers. Today it is a day to hold parades, proudly fly
the American Flag, visit cemeteries, and hold memorial ceremonies to our veterans.
Coming Events
14 June 2012
National Flag Day
Flag Day falls within National Flag Week, a time when
Americans reflect on the foundations of the nation’s
freedom. The flag of the United States represents freedom
and has been an enduring symbol of our country’s ideals since its early days.
16 June 2012
Father's Day
Father's Day's a celebration honoring fathers and fatherhood,
paternal bonds, and the influence of fathers in society. Don't
forget to remember your father
21-23 June 2013
87th Lincolnland District Convention
Holiday Inn Gurnee Convention Center
I know June 21 seems like a long time off but
it will be here before we know it. Mark this
date on your calendar and as we get closer to
the convention I'll publish all the details and
reservation information. There are a lot of
things one can do in the Gurnee area besides
attend the convention so I'm sure it is going to
be a great convention.
24 June 2013
Program Development Meeting
Today will be the Annual Club Program Development
Meeting where we will set the course our club will take during
coming administrative year. Our incoming Club President will
review our club's 2013-2014 Goals, announce all the club
committees and chairpersons, and club member committee assignments for the new

4 July 2013 (Thursday)
GiveAKidAFlagToWave Program
This will be the 28th year that our club will hand out small American Flags to the kids along the
parade route on the Fourth of July Holiday. This is one really fun Exchange program for both the
Champaign and Urbana Exchange Club members who participate. To date we have distributed
over 153,000 American Flags to the kids and if the weather cooperates I would anticipate that we
will hand out another 4,000-5,000 flags again this year too.
10-13 July 2013
95th National Exchange Club Convention
Sheraton Greensboro at Four Seasons
Greensboro, North Carolina
This is the same hotel that hosted the National Convention in 2001 that was attended by Norma & Bill Dieker with
Nancy & Tom Williams. I know the four of us had a wonderful time and you'll enjoy attending this year's convention in
Greensboro. What will make this convention especially special is the fact that our own Lincolnland Exchangite,
National President Lou Molitor, will be running the convention. This is just the second time in the 102 years of
Exchange that we've had a national president from our district (the late, great Exchangite Harold Warren was the first in
1983-84) and we need to come out and support Lou & Patti Molitor as they complete their year at the helm of Exchange.

Today's Luncheon
The weather was very mild today for a
February day with the temperature in
the mid 40s, sunny and a light wind. I
sure love "global warming!"
We were pleased to have several
guests today. Joining us from the
Urbana Exchange Club were
District Director John Hummel,
Judy Hummel, and John Hummel,
Jr. Nancy Williams brought as her
guests potential new members Tim
and Nancy Barber. Tim recently
retired from the First Christian Church
in Champaign where he served as the
ministers to seniors. Norma Dieker
had as her guest her son, former
Champaign Exchange President
Jim Dieker, who is also a former
Exchange District President. Also
joining us today was Kim Beckman,
the wife of Coach Beckman. It's
always good to get to meet the wives
of the coaches too because they are
the unsung heroes of the family.
Nancy Williams reports that
spoke with Dottie Mikucki and
Dottie has successful surgery,
third, last week and she's home
recovering fine.
she
that
her
and
signed 24 student athletes, ten that are
already enrolled and attending the
University of Illinois. Of the 10 new
recruits already on campus five are
junior college transfers, and five are
high school seniors who graduated
early and started last month at the
beginning of the second semester. It's
a big advantage to have so many of
the players already enrolled, because
they can participate in spring drills
and get a chance to learn the signals
and plays and get stronger in the
weight room. Many will be needed to
step up and play minutes this fall.
The new recruiting Illini class has
been rated fifth best in the Big Ten
and 42nd best in the nation by the
recruiting services. Leading the new
class are 4-star recruits Aaron Bailey
& Caleb Day. Bailey's a quarterback
from Bolingbrook, IL and Day's listed
as an "Athlete" and from Hilliard, OH.
Coach Beckman is very upbeat about
the coming football season and the
future of Fighting Illini Football. It's
a big hill to climb to get us back up in
the first division of the Big Ten. He
is very energetic and if that means
anything I'm sure he'll be successful.
Fighting Illini Football
Tom Williams had the distinct honor
of introducing today's guest speaker,
Fighting Illini Head Football Coach
Tim Beckman. I want to thank Anne
Johnston for arranging for Coach
Beckman join us today.
Coach Beckman recently completed
signing his second class of recruits
for the Fighting Illini (this is his first
full year recruiting at Illinois) and he
