Thank you to Angie Peters and City Glass for today’s presentation!
Angie covered the history of City Glass as well as showed slides of recent projects. Then, Rachelle and Reagan Bole spoke in depth about their apprentice program! It is a great path for those who are not wanting to go the traditional four year degree route!

There will be a board meeting after next week’s breakfast.
Please keep Greg Swartz, Swartz Electric, in your thoughts and prayers. He was injured falling from a ladder. He has a broken left fibula, broken left tibia,
