President Hinckley notes 96th birthday
President Hinckley is scheduled to attend an 11 a.m. groundbreaking ceremony for a new alumni house and visitors center that will be named in his honor.
Church spokesman Dale Bills said family, invited guests and university leaders will host President Hinckley at a private luncheon following the groundbreaking event.
The event will be at the site of the former alumni house.
General authorities of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and members of the Hinckley family will be at the event.
The building — the Gordon B. Hinckley Alumni and Visitors Center — is expected to be completed in fall 2007.
More than 50,000 students, faculty, staff, alumni and supporters of the university have contributed to the building. To donate, go to byu.edu/gbhb.
The event will be broadcast live on KBYU-TV, BYU Television and KBYU-FM.
