Bellingham Technical College Venue Update

[Steven L. Smith]

The BTC class that was originally scheduled in Tacoma, running April 16 to to May 11, 2007 has been moved to Shoreline, which is near Everett. Anyone in the greater Seattle area, interested in this training, should seriously consider taking this course that is part of, and accredited through, the state college system. There will be a limited number of opportunities to take this class, on the west side of the mountains, this year. Anyone interested can call me at 1-866-676-6908.
