Each month two emails land in my inbox with information that doesn’t usually get published all together. Garden City Community College and Garden City public schools both send me a list of all of the activities going on each month.

I’ll include GCCC’s in this blog and post future schedules in future blogs. Sometimes you never know what might spark an interest with readers.
