Lower NMC Tuition for Benzie Students?

Jack Harnish, the president of Advocates for Benzie County, invites everyone to a listening session they are holding in Elberta at the Elberta Methodist Church. The Advocates have been negotiating with Northwestern Michigan College to give Benzie County “in-district” status, so that our students can take advantage of lower tuition and receive NMC services in Benzie County.  They are seeking community input and hope to hear from a variety of folks within the county. Please attend, ask questions, and show your support for (or opposition to!) this idea.
