President's Corner
	We are hoping to boost our membership by placing posters around the valley. I'm looking for volunteers from Kalispell, Columbia Falls, Whitefish and Bigfork to place these posters at libraries, book stores, coffee houses, cafes, small grocery stores, laundromats, etc. Interested? Let me know. Jim Satterfield

Watch for classroom change. FVCC is happy to be experiencing a great increase in enrollment and is struggling to find enough classrooms for all the courses they are offering.
