CHAPARRAL

CLASSIFIED COUNCIL CORNER
by Henan Joof, Classified Council President

What we’ve been doing...

Classified Council would like to thank everyone who supported our fundraiser events throughout the 2006-2007 academic year. From See’s chocolate to Tupperware, we would like to remind you that we appreciate you for taking an interest in helping our committee of volunteers in successfully attaining each fundraising goal.

     Our monthly open meetings also have been successful! Classified Council is careful in selecting lecture topics; we try to keep the subject matter interesting and informative. Fortunately, GCC does not lack talent or expertise in this department. Having already heard from Mary Mirch, we plan on bringing you a few more speakers as the year unfolds.

     Even though it may seem like ages ago, I would like to thank everyone who made our Holiday Party a success. The Glendale College family truly came out and pretty much every department was represented. This year we have the Classified Employee week coming up and we are working on making the program one that you will benefit from.

     Classified Council will begin fundraising for our 2008 Student Worker Scholarship. Please look to support our See’s Candies Spring fundraiser.  The Classified Council Student Worker Scholarship is awarded to a qualified “student who assists a classified staff member.” We may have one or more recipients, depending on our fundraising outcome. Scholarship applications and information will be available to you soon. We will present our scholarship recipients at our end-of-the-year picnic in May.

What we’re going to do…

Student Worker Scholarship
     Thanks to successful fundraisers, as well as generous donors, Classified Council will be awarding at least $1000 in scholarship funds. Our scholarship committee will be evaluating applications and selecting the winners. The recipients will be recognized and awarded at our end-of-the-year picnic on June 9.

Classified Employee Week

     Classified Employee Week is May 18-24.  Classified Council will be coordinating activities through the week, and CSEA will be hosting a BBQ event. A flyer will be distributed for this celebration.

End-of-the-Year Picnic
     Keep your eyes open for the invitations to this coveted event.

Ready, set, GO!!! Yet another semester has begun here at Glendale and it goes without saying that all of you have been instrumental in attracting and retaining the growing number of students we see on campus. &
