BBCC Hosts Luncheon
Dr. William Bonaudi, President of BBCC, will be hosting a luncheon on Wednesday, February 25th, at the American Legion Hall in Ritzville. Dr. Bonaudi will be presenting information about the services available through BBCC. After lunch he and four other staff members of BBCC will facilitate several small focus groups.
The focus groups are an effort to further define the need for secondary education in Ritzville and the surrounding communities of Lind and Washtucna. The luncheon and focus groups are a follow-up to the surveys circulated last summer.
The Ritzville PDA in partnership with the Ritzville Horizons group has proposed a distance learning center to be administered by BBCC. $10,000 in scholarship money is available for Ritzville students as soon as the center is open to the public.

Welcome to our town??
Ritzville has always been known as Eastern Washington's best kept secret. We'd like to change that. The Ritzville Public Development Authority (PDA) is hoping to do just that. Washington State University's Interdisciplinary Design Institute (WSU IDI) will present four proposed solutions to our signage and identity problem.
By inviting visitors to our community and making them feel welcome when they get here, it is the hope of the PDA to stimulate some economic development opportunities.
Come join in the discussion. Be a part of the solution.
