Pine Technical College
will host the Twelfth Annual Donor Recognition
Event Fri. Dec. 7, beginning at 5 p.m., at the North West Company Fur Post in
Pine City. The event honors those who have given financial contributions to the
college in support of PTC’s various scholarship programs, as well as the college’s
many scholarship recipients.
“This is a very special event that means a
lot for our students and for our donors,” says Sandi Carlisle, Executive
Assistant to the President and PTC Foundation
Coordinator. “This event provides a perfect opportunity for scholarship
recipients to meet and thank Foundation donors, and it’s also a more elegant,
upscale evening that we intentionally create for honoring the achievements of
our students while enjoying the best hors
d’oeuvres, wine, and entertainment our community has to offer,” Carlisle
adds.
The event opens with a social hour complete
with musical entertainment by Glenna Reierson, pianist, followed by featured
speakers Jasmine Bauer and Timothy Soderbeck. Bauer, a practical nursing
student, and Soderbeck, a network administration and business technology
student, both began their academic careers at PTC in the Summer, 2011 term, and
both have received scholarships from the PTC Foundation. Altogether, the PTC
Foundation has awarded more than $51,900 to 45 students over the past year.
The event is expected to draw more than 120
attendees, and the public is welcome. Tickets will be sold at the door for $10,
and all proceeds benefit PTC’s annual Bridging
the Dream scholarship campaign. Attendees have the opportunity to
participate in a raffle, with prizes that include an IPad2 (generously donated
for the event by Wyoming Machine
and Atscott Manufacturing) and
a 26” Vizio LED HDTV (generously donated by Walmart). The event’s refreshments are provided by
Chris’ Food Center, Chubby’s restaurant, Grand Casino –Hinckley, Taco del Norte, and Wild Bamboo, while wine
is provided by the Voyageur BottleShop.
