The Marketing I and II class at Lewiston Regional Technical Center have received a chance to apply what they’ve learned thus far. Both classes are serving as organizers and promoters for the opening banquet of the city’s bicentennial celebration, to be held Feb 18. In late September. Rick Lachapelle, chairman of the bicentennial committee, approached teacher Bruce Sally’s marketing classes about putting their knowledge to use to help coordinate the banquet. “He didn’t sugar-coat it or anything like that,” said Amy L. Morin, a Marketing II student, “He told us it would be a lot of work? The project soon turned into a full-time activity in class, limiting the amount of textbook work students have been doing. “It has been interesting looking at what we have to do for this semester,” said Scally. “This project has taken over the bulk of our time. Instead of learning out of a textbook, the kids are actually having hands-on-experience.”
