I urge budget committee members, school boad members and voters to allow an adequate amount of funds for the "Gifted Student Programs." I certainly endorse the additional special education programs our school system has established for our children with disabilities and learning dysfunctions.

Now the goal of this political party will be to raise funds to accomplish this saving this Republication Structure. Far ley will probably contribute two bottles. (s)O.W.Cutsforth cheers keen understanding of the demands of such labor; Kathie learned a lot about the true nature of ministers under stress; and some people actually dined on the pizzas that they had ordered within a reasonable period of time. Many thanks to all of you who patronized Kate's that fateful evening thank you for your tolerance and patience! We all have a newfound ap preciation for the great ser vice and wonderful food that are standard at Kate's (and we'll never take it for granted again!) The Rev. Cathy Barker knowledge and assistance he has given to this agency has been of great benefit. Mr. Odom's involvement with the home health agency has been totally on a volunteer basis which emphasizes Mr. Odom's interst in the community's needs. We will miss Mr. Odom's expertise as a board member and want to thank him for all the heart felt care and time he has given.

I will use this degree when I transfer to a four year school. I came to BMCC because it was about the only community college in the state that had a lot of agriculture in the curri culum. I wanted to start at a smaller school because I felt I could obtain a better base for my. education at a smaller school. It's a place where I could work closer with the instructor and get more "hands on" experience. BMCC has given me this ex perience and the chance to grow and benefit in my field.
