LBCC also will pay the $1.
Join-A-Club Day on Aug. 28, at the LAC Quad, flourished as students gathered to join their friends and classmates at the club signups 11 a.m.
Clubs at LBCC offer something for almost everyone; whether one is looking for volunteer work, new interests, or just wanting to interact with fellow students.
Beginning in Spring 2009, students making the commute from the LAC to the PCC may be in for some relief courtesy of the Associated Student Body after it approved partial funding for a potential shuttle between the campuses.
