Friends of Work Training Center Dinner

On Thursday, February 28, 2008, WTC will hold its 7th annual Friends of WTC Dinner at Bear Mountain Production Services's new location at 1618 Nord Avenue in Chico. Tickets are $12.50 apiece. Dinner is being catered by The Well Catering Services and will consist of meat lasagna or eggplant parmigan, garlic bread, green salad, and dessert. Beverages (coffee and soft drinks) will be provided. The evening includs a short program. Special guest this year is Chico Mayor Andy Holcomb. The evening will finish up with a Chinese raffle, where ticket purchasers will have the opportunity to win a variety of prizes.

New this year is "Take a Friend to Dinner." If you purchase a ticket, you can get a free ticket if you take someone who has never attended a Friends of WTC dinner before. (One free ticket for first-time attendees for each ticket purchased.) We encourage everyone, veterans and newbies, to attend this dinner and learn about WTC.

Bear Mountain Production Services, a division of WTC, offers a flexible workforce able to perform a wide variety of tasks. This includes light industrial assembly, wood and Corian fabrication, bulk mailing, document collating, order fulfillment, and many other services requiring speed and accuracy. Approximately 70 individuals with developmental disabilities are employed at BMPS, under the supervision of qualified and experienced staff. Customer satisfaction is always the top priority. Pick-up and delivery is available throughout the North State with BMPS vehicles. UPS services connect BMPS to customers anywhere.

Tickets can be purchased at our main office at 2255 Fair Street, or charged online at http://www.bearmountaingifts.com/.
