In addition, Froehlich described the difference between the World Games and the Olympics, citing that the World Games are held the year after the Olympics and feature sports not seen at the Olympics. "Most of the cities that bid for the World Games have their sites on a future Olympics or something of that nature. Some of these cities have other ideas and some of the cities that are bidding are supported by the countries because they want to bring the Olympics or another event to the country," said Froehlich. http://www1.wnec.edu/news/index.cfm?selection=doc.2507&DCIid=10704 webmaster@wnec.edu Wed, 07 May 2008 00:00:00 EST http://www1.wnec.edu/news/index.cfm?selection=doc.2507&DCIid=10798 webmaster@wnec.edu Wed, 07 May 2008 00:00:00 EST   http://www1.wnec.edu/news/index.cfm?selection=doc.2507&DCIid=10656 webmaster@wnec.edu Tue, 06 May 2008 00:00:00 EST With the end of another semester approaching, students in the College's music program performed a spring recital consisting of vocalists and guitarists.
