~RCCC P3,101f~ce Box ,595 <br /> Salisbury, Nodh Co~olino <br /> Phone 704 637-0760 <br /> <br />' ~'~ ~ Eow~n-Oobarru$ Communlly College <br /> October 3, 1990 <br /> <br /> Mr. James W. Lentz, Chairman <br /> Cabarrus County Commissioners <br /> PO Box 664 - <br /> Concord, NC g8025 <br /> <br /> Dear Jim: <br /> <br /> You recently received a letter from Ralph Simpson announcing the formation <br /> of an organization called North Carolinians for Community Colleges. This <br /> group, chaired by Governor Jim Martin and the four living, former <br /> governors--Terry Sanford, Bob Scott, Jim Holshouser, and Jim Hunt--is <br /> building support across the state for the Report of the Commission on the <br /> Future of the North Carolina Community College System. The essence of <br /> that commission's report is reflected in the following quote: "For 25 <br /> years community colleges have been our competitive edge for economic and <br /> educational progress. If we are to keep that edge, we must invest now. <br /> Every day we delay, our state falls a step backwards." <br /> <br /> Mr. Simpson and the North Carolinians for Community Colleges are asking <br /> for your support and endorsement of the commission's report. I have <br /> enclosed a draft resolution and ask that you consider it for adoption. <br /> This resolution, along with others supporting the commission's report, <br /> will be brought to the legislature's attention with the hope of influencing <br /> them to increase funding for community college education. Our system is <br /> in peril and greatly needs your support to gain additional funding to meet <br /> the education ~nd manpower development needs of the future. <br /> <br /> On behalf of the Community College System and Rowan~Cabarrus Community <br /> College, we thank you for your support. <br /> <br /> Sincerely, <br /> <br /> R. L. Brownell <br /> President <br /> <br /> RLB:dsp <br /> <br /> Enclosure <br /> <br /> <br />
