NEED A SUMMER JOB? Two CCE students needed for a painting / cleaning / moving crew. Preference given for those taking classes. Another preference is for faculty/staff kids looking for summer work. This job is heavy, hard, hot and boring. The successful applicants should be able to stand on a ladder, lift office furniture, and be familiar with power shop tools. We can teach you to paint.
