In many ways Mohave Community College is a microcosm of the communities it serves.
Here in Lake Havasu City, when the weather gets cool, the social calendar gets ridiculous as community groups and our city fathers try to cram as much fun as they can into the beautiful weeks of autumn.
MCC's Havasu campus isn't immune from event mania, largely because we're part of the community and want to participate as much as we can. Determined to be overachievers, we're planning a blow-out month, including the college-wide Depression Screening Day Oct. 8, a Coffee at the College about Havasu history Oct. 10, the London Bridge Days Parade Oct. 17, another Coffee at the College Oct. 20, the annual Art Club pottery show and sale Oct. 23 and - gasp!- Pumpkin Fest Oct. 30.
The craziness begins Oct.3 when I'll be representing MCC at the annual Community Health Fair inside Relics & Rods Hall at the Aquatic Center. (At the same time, a few thousand walkers clad in pink will be just outside enacting the also-annual Breast Cancer Walk, meaning more than a few socially active community members are challenged to literally be two places at the same time.)
Hey, if you're reading this, come down from 8 a.m. to noon, grab a free lip balm, grab a free pen, grab a good education, grab a cool, new career!
