One of the major hurdles for our adult workforce program is obtaining approval from the various committees and the board. We are on the agenda for tomorrow's meeting and (hopefully) will know if we are moving forward in that area after that. Then I will need to obtain a commitment from the college to keep us in place and not shut us down at the end of June. We were originally slated for closure June, 2009 but were granted one additional year to secure outside funding in order to maintain our site here in Lincoln County. Everything depends on the decisions that will be made in two more meetings and we should have a definite answer by the end of this month. The anticipation is nerve-wracking to say the least.
In the meantime, the various assignments for my Dynamic Web Applications class are providing a treasure trove of information and ideas for both our youth program and the adult program. Many of the class members have contributed to our program indirectly and I truly appreciate all the support and assistance that has been given. I applaud the wonderful instructor for making this class possible and all my fellow students for their hard work. We're all on separate journeys, but our paths are intertwined.

Good luck tomorrow, I hope all goes well. It sounds like such a worth while endeavor how could it be denied.
ReplyDeleteThanks Karen! That's what we keep saying--but you know how often things don't go exactly as they should. One of my favorite sayings when things are out of whack is, "If I ran the world..." which is usually followed by, "There would be a lot of explaining to do!" I appreciate your vote of confidence.
ReplyDeleteClosure in June? Really? I don't think I would want your job for anything! I mean here your are improving your community and enriching the lives of others and you get brickwalled. Please post back comment on how it went. Do you ever feel like you're in a Soap Opera? :D
ReplyDeleteThe meeting went well yesterday--the Adult/Dislocated Worker Committee voted to approve the funding for our program! Once the overall Board meeting on the 25th we can finalize the contracts. Now I have to really push the college to honor their agreement to keep us in place since we have obtained the funding they required....
ReplyDeleteK--I stopped watching soap operas years ago because they were getting boring compared to the events in real life. Maybe we could figure out a name for this one--"The Continuing Saga of Lincoln County?"
Or Lincoln County Logs. hahahaha! But seriously, glad all went (is going) well Keep us posted. :D
ReplyDeleteAt least with this program it won't be Lincoln County Lags.
ReplyDeleteYou're suggestions are taken under advisement. In the meantime, you'll understand if I keep the suggestion period open? Thanks for the laughs, ladies!
