| Dec 1 Connecting Educators to Industry |
| Did you know that K-12 vocational training, known as Career and Technical Education (CTE) is now a part of basic education in Washington State that must be fully funded thanks to recent legislative action? On top of this, an additional $510 million has been earmarked for CTE over the next four years. The Washington Business Alliance coordinated efforts to make all of this a reality. Our focus now is to help with implementation in rural communities in the state. Thanks to the support of the Chehalis Foundation, we are able to offer this pilot program in Lewis County. Our overarching goal is to offer a platform to help connect K-12 educators with local businesses, economic and workforce developers in order for local experts to share their work and how to meet the local employment needs through CTE. Sen Braun will be joining us to speak about why this initiative was so important to him. If you are an educator, this new legislation expands your ability to provide hands-on, applied learning to students looking for their first job after graduation or after post-secondary education. If you’re an employer or economic developer, this new focus on strengthening CTE in the state should help you address the current difficulty finding qualified, well-trained employees. |

| Dec 8 - Dec 9 U.S. Cellular's Customer Appreciation Celebration |
| Centralia U.S. Cellular associates are inviting the local community to their store on Dec. 8 and 9 for a special holiday Customer Appreciation Celebration. There will be a mobile prize wheel where customers can use their smartphones to spin to win prizes that include bill credits and accessory discounts that can be used for fun holiday gifts. “During this busy holiday season, we wanted to take a moment to thank our loyal customers and let them know how much we value them being a part of the U.S. Cellular family,” said Erryn Andersen, director of sales for U.S. Cellular in the northwest. “We also invite the entire community to visit our store and see how we can be a one-stop shop for all of their gift-giving needs.” The holiday season has always been one of the busiest shopping periods of the year. In 2017, according to the National Retail Federation, 33 percent of people surveyed said they would like to receive consumer electronics or accessories as gifts this year, and 29 percent said they plan to purchase consumer electronics or accessories as gifts. With that in mind, in addition to the Customer Appreciation Celebration, U.S. Cellular is offering new and upgrade-eligible customers the Samsung Galaxy S8 for free with an unlimited data plan and qualifying smartphone turn-in – or a Samsung Galaxy S7 for free with an unlimited data plan and no smartphone turn-in. While supplies last. Additional terms apply. See uscellular.com for details. In-Store Contests: NO PURCHASE NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. See store for Official Rules. |
