Mennie Machine makes contribution

Illinois Valley Community College President Jerry Corcoran (from left) was in Mark recently to accept a $1,000 check for the Peter Miller Community Technology Center capital campaign from Mennie Machine representatives Amy Mennie Cimei, project manager; Jennifer (Mennie) Smoode, finance; and Brandon Mennie, an employee and IVCC student. The campaign, now at $1.62 million of its $2.1 million goal, will finance PMCTC enhancement. “Mennie’s is one of the most highly-integrated contract machining companies in the U.S.,” said Corcoran. “The PMCTC will significantly improve our ability to produce industry-ready employees for Mennie’s and other district manufacturers.”
