LifeLines is scheduled to meet on the morning of Jan. 18 to continue suggesting ideas for Black History Month. Club officers will also receive passes for the cooperative meeting with Diversity Focus Group. Black History Month, which aims to spread awareness of African American history and achievements, will take place through the month of February.

LifeLines sponsor Rebekah Overbey said the campaign has been one of the traditional LifeLines events for several years. LifeLines will cooperate with Diversity Focus Group in planning events for Black History Month.
