The celebration will begin at 9 a.m. with a ribbon-cutting ceremony featuring Clark College President Robert K. Knight and bookstore staff members.  The first 1,000 guests will receive reusable goodie bags filled with assorted items, coupons, and information.

Guests can take part in “Spin ‘N Win,” a prize wheel featuring over 400 prizes donated by vendors.  Cupcakes and coffee will also be provided.

In addition, visitors will find special Penguin bargains with 20% off all items imprinted with “CLARK” as well as 25% off all reference study aids.

In anticipation of this event, the college sent over 10,000 invitations to all students who attended the college during winter quarter as well as members of the Clark College Foundation and Alumni Association.   Members of the greater community are invited to join in the celebration.
