Republican Women donate to library

The Redding Republican Women presented the Redding Library with a copy of “Mice Way to Learn About Government, Voting, Campaigns, and Elections: A Curriculum Guide and Our Country’s Presidents” as part of its Mamie Eisenhower Library Project.

The Mamie Eisenhower Library Project began in 1961, started by the National Federation of Republican Women as a memorial to the First Lady. The books donated through the program generally showcase American philosophy and beliefs and prominent historical figures.

The Redding Republican Women also are active each year in many area schools through its “Buckets of Books” program. The group partners with schools and donates a number of history, science and math books to school libraries annually.

College expands satellite programs

Shasta College has a host of new courses it plans to expand to some of its satellite locations for the fall semester. Classes begin Aug. 18.

Starting this fall, the college will offer two forest technician classes — Introduction to Natural Resources and Environmental Science — at its Tehama, Trinity and Intermountain campuses.

New to the Tehama and Trinity campuses, the college will also begin offering its legal assistant program. The program takes two years to complete and begins in fall with the Civil Procedures and Litigation class.

For the first time, Shasta College will offer online the class Creating and Managing the Virtual Office, as well as a retail management marketing class this fall.

The college also will bring in the new agriculture class Poultry and Captive Bird Science and Management to its main Redding campus. The class will focus on the history of bird management, common species and current management practices.

For more information on these classes or Shasta College’s fall semester, call 242-7650.
