College of the Redwoods Eureka main campus will host a community open house on Saturday, Nov. 2 to showcase its four brand-new buildings opened in the last year.
The event will take place from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. followed by free admission to a CR football game vs. Los Medanos College, beginning at 1 p.m. in Community Stadium. “This day provides an excellent opportunity for the community to see the ‘new’ College of the Redwoods,” said CR President Kathy Smith. “In addition to these new buildings, CR has many positive things going on including our excellent educational programs, new student success initiatives, improved accreditation and budget statuses. We also have new vendors running our bookstore and dining services. We want to offer local residents a chance to see what is happening with their community college.” The day will include guided tours of the $29.5 million Science and Humanities buildings in the center of campus, as well as the $19.3 million Student Services/Administration and Performing Arts Theater. Instructors will be present in the state-of -the art science labs and academic classrooms, each outfitted with the latest in SMART Board technology. One can also meet CR faculty in career technical facilities, such as welding, construction technology, drafting technology, manufacturing technology and registered nursing. Academy of the Redwoods, the early college high school located on the CR Eureka Campus, will also be open for tours. Information tables for CR’s programs will be set up in the courtyard between the two academic buildings. A special ribbon-cutting ceremony, followed by refreshments, will also take place there at noon with CR President Kathy Smith, CR Trustees and other dignitaries. Music will be provided by the CR Concert Band. For more information, go to www.redwoods.edu or contact Paul DeMark at paul-demark@redwoods.edu or (707) 476-4561. |

It’s Time to take back the House….
 |
|
House Republicans just caused the shutdown of the entire government. Not only that, they did so because their priority is to deny healthcare to women and families, and because they want to let your boss decide whether you have coverage for birth control. Enough is enough. It’s time to take back the House from the extreme GOP and replace these guys with pro-choice Democratic women. Women who will step up, govern, and fight for policies that actually help women and families.
Luckily we have an opportunity to really put these guys on notice: 2014 is right around the corner, and we have an opportunity send these guys packing. It’s our time to take back the House. If you agree that it’s time to restore sanity to Congress, EMILY’s List needs your voice. If you want to help us fight over the next year to replace these guys with pro-choice, Democratic women, we need you behind us. If you’re fed up with the House GOP, and want to do something about it, you need to join us. 2014 may seem far off, but these House GOP Members need to know that their seats are not safe. EMILY’s List knows that early support for women candidates is critical. We have to be there for women candidates, right from the get-go. If we want to take back the House, we need to act now. Sign up to learn how you can help us take back the House, and restore some sanity to Congress. Thanks for all you do! Bob Fertik |
