UTEC serves Christmas cookies and punch

North Georgia Technical College, Blairsville Campus, recently hosted the annual Christmas at the College.

The free event offers all kinds of fun activities for hundreds of children and adults. The Great Hall of Trees, crafts, letters to Santa, story time, games, live entertainment, and train rides keep everyone busy.

When it’s time for refreshments, the members of the Union Towns Employer Committee are ready to serve up cookies, punch, and coffee. Not just regular store bought cookies, these sweets are carefully prepared by NGTC culinary students. Delicious and tempting cookies and pastries are available throughout the evening’s festivities (although the gingerbread houses and ice sculptures are just for looks).

NGTC faculty, staff, and members of the local area appreciate all that the Employer Committee does to give back to the community. Serving cookies is just one small example of the many ways that Employer Committee members assist the areas that they serve. For more information about the Union Towns Employer committee call the Georgia Department of Labor at 706-745-6959.
