FIRST THERE WAS A BUILDING FOR THE WELDING CLASSES.    THE NEW
BUILDING (A WICK BUILDING WITH ROSS RIVER THE GENERAL CONTRACTOR)
HOUSES MORE EQUIPMENT FOR STUDENTS AND OLDER CITIZENS TO LEARN A MANUFACUTURING TRADE.    ON DISPLAY YESTERDAY WAS NOT ONLY
THE BUILDING, BUT THE EQUIPMENT FOR TEACHING IN IT.    KAREN VICKERS, PRESIDENT OF CLINTON COMMUNITY COLLEGE, WAS THE EMCEE OF
THE PROGRAM AND RIBBON CUTTING EVENT YESTERDAY.
