JUNE 13, 2000 - A sunny break in the unseasonably cool and rainy spring provided a symbolic environment for the dedication of the new Learning Center built as a joint project between Lane Community College and the Junction City School District. |
|
A large crowd representing residents of
all ages and backgrounds gathered to watch the dedication. The center
was named after
Jim Pitney to honor him for a lifetime of service to the community and
the L.C.C. board of directors. After the dedication, attendees went
inside to listen to comments by school, college, and city officials; as
well as watch demonstrations, tour the new facilities, and enjoy refreshments.
