ADULT ED. CLASSES
Students participating in Adult Educa
tion Classes on Thursday evenings, from
4:00 pm to 6:00 pm, be forwarned! Due
to the lack of attendance, by students
who have signed up to participate, we
have had a number of incidents when
teachers have shown up and no students
were available. If you can't make it
to class, you need to contact the class
instructors (Jan Davidson) at 843-4123.
If no students show up for. the next two
classes, Adult Education classes will
be discontinued. Your tuition and fees
are paid for whether you attend class
or not, this becomes costly, when you
do not participate. Future classes
will be provided via Chemeketa Commu
nity College in the Salem, McMinnville
and Dallas sites. Have questions?
Call 879-5253.
