01/27/11--08:10: Comment on Key donor for Great Expectations remembered by John Bledsoe (chan 2731618)

Mark's work has truly benefitted a number of individuals. The positive impact of Great Expectations on each individual student served, each school, community, and our state and nation cannot be calculated. I have seen so many students here at MECC improve in every way through the support of this program. Many of these students will indeed go on to do great things that will make a difference in the lives of others. It is this fact that makes the program so powerful; that these students given are given a better chance at success, and each of those individual successes will help to build opportunities for others. His family can certainly be proud of that legacy.

I couldn't agree with you more, Christy. I take comfort in knowing that when these difficult situations arise for our students that they do call and we are able to help in some way. The fact that we are often the first call that they make reminds me of how necessary and crucial this program really is!

02/24/11--10:18: Comment on Mountain Empire CC to host party for Great Expectations students by John Bledsoe (chan 2731618)

The turnout was great with 18 total individuals attending! There were gifts and door prizes from 9 different agencies and schools. Each student left with a bundle of goodies, from t - shirts to notebooks, pens , and pencils, to bookbags, flash drives, cell phone cases, and accordion binders, and a gift card. I was touched and amazed at the donations. A special thank you is well deserved to Wise County DSS, who provided pizza and a gift card, as well as Project Life who provided a notebook, pen, and mechanical pencil to every student, MECC Student Services who provided a t-shirt to every student, and MECC's GAIN who provided 3 nice door prizes, the Regional Adult Education Agency for 5 accordion binders for door prizes, as well as Lindsey Wilson College, Mountain State University, Appalachian College of Pharmacy, and Bluefield College for pens, carrying bags, ID holders, and many other goodies for our students!

The students had by far the most fun. They were the first in the parks and the last ones to leave. I had fun, but the students had a blast.

12/03/11--19:44: Comment on City Too Busy to Hate by Felicia Muer (chan 2731618)

It sounded like you guys had a great trip on your charter bus. I'm glad everyone had fun. I would've loved to eat at the Varsity and see Georgia Tech. I've been to Atlanta a few times with my family, but it was always to my aunt and uncle and to go to a Braves game. That was fun and all, but didn't really get to experience Atlanta like you guys have. Someday I'll go back to Atlanta and do the things that you guys have done. --- bus to washington dc
