We learned some more about the entertainment available at La Moderna Field in Cleburne and the upcoming season for the Cleburne Railroaders Baseball Club, an affiliate of Major League Baseball. Thanks to Rory Niewenhous for his presentation. Here is the presentation of the children's book honorarium with President Don Ellis.

For many years we have been buying children's books suitable for elementary school libraries and using them as honorariums for our speakers. We'd concentrated on just one or two schools but now are spreading out to the entire district.

 

 

I'm shown here making the presentation at McClatchey Elementary School to their librarian, Anthony Norris.

 

I presented a program about my work as a volunteer pilot for Angel Flight South Central on December 10th. I talked about why there is such an organization,  how missions are posted and accepted, and the actual flight planning for these missions. Angel Flight pilots pay for their aircraft expenses as well as fuel out of their own pocket. It does take effort to maintain the structure for screening patients and other compassion flight uses, as well as maintain waivers and communication, so those staffers are paid, just like most non-profits. 

 

Alyssa Johnson introduced us to herself and her vocation on December 3rd. She is Principal of a K-8 campus of International Leadership of Texas, a charter school.
