Weather:
If we get more bad weather the weekend of TriStar and GTCC closes, the event cannot be held.
In case inclement weather causes the Jamestown Campus of GTCC to be closed on the date of TriStar, please monitor campus status before coming to GTCC.
Weather status information is available at the GTCC web page or by dialing the GTCC switchboard at 336-334-4822. We’ll also post status updates on our Twitter page: https://twitter.com/gtccastro (As is our tradition, the meeting hashtag will be #tristar2015.)
