Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a farmer? Perhaps you have even considered growing your own groceries or supplementing your income by selling farm raised goods.  Where would you begin to take on a project like that?  One of the best ways to determine if farming and gardening might be right for you is to “try on the boots”!

Filing for Place One, Place Two, Place Three, Place Five, and Place Six on the Northeast Texas Community College Board of Trustees will begin on Wednesday, January 15, 2020, and continues through 5 p.m., Friday, February 14, 2020.

Alpha Mu Chi, Northeast Texas Community College’s chapter of the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society, was pleased to be able to donate $500 to Hospitality House. Hospitality House is the only long-term residential facility in the state of Texas and one of the very few in the nation that specializes in individuals dealing with mental health concerns. A representative of the facility, as well as a few residents, came to receive the check on December 10. Chapter officers and a few students and administrators were present to help celebrate the donation, a heartwarming experience for all concerned. The goal was to help residents experience a joyful Christmas as well as have additional needs met.

Northeast Texas Community College recently celebrated its annual employee Christmas luncheon and honored employees who have reached service milestones. In addition, they also celebrated the retirement of Beverly Austin, SBDC Business Advisor.

A total of 71 attendees and their guests celebrated the occasion with a dinner featuring chicken parmesan as the main entrée and the PTK chapter’s trademark chocolate fountain for dessert.
