News from Clarissa's Past

25 Years Ago

December 20, 1995

Mary Wynn and Shelia Hoemberg, representing TCI Cable, will give five area schools either a big screen TV or a VCR, thanks to TCI Cable’s educational project. The project raises money for local schools by setting aside $5 from each installation or upgrade between now and December 22. The fall campaign raised $1300. The TVs will go to schools in Long Prairie, Staples, Wadena, and Clarissa. The VCR will be given to a Park Rapids school. Next year, TCI’s educational project will concentrate on computers.
