ACCESS Spring Classes

12:00 p.m.

ALACHUA COUNTY, FL - The public is invited to participate in the annual Alachua County Civic Education SerieS (ACCESS) classes, which will begin this spring.

Alachua County Government invites you to learn about local government issues and gain access to County operations that most citizens never see. Each ACCESS graduating class will produce a group of citizens equipped to engage in ways that help Alachua County become more representative of its citizenry's needs.

County Manager Randall H. Reid said of ACCESS, "Thomas Jefferson believed an informed citizenry was democracy's greatest safeguard and we agree. Where do you go if you want to make a difference in your community ... ACCESS is the key".

ACCESS begins March 16 and runs for seven sessions. ACCESS is free but space is limited. For a complete schedule of classes visit our website www.alachuacounty.us/ACCESS.

To reserve your seat, or for more information, call 352-374-5219.
