CCAR Holiday Breakfast

Good Production Class III

I would like to extend my appreciation to y'all for creating a plan and taking the action needed in getting your task accomplished...actually 2 plans with your blog and the "green theme".
Just enjoy your time in class and remember your involvement and actions taken within your time with TRLP will be a benefit to yourself and your peers...and more importantly to our profession.
Remember to always give the 1 degree of extra effort in all you do...especially when you don't feel like it and you will amaze yourselves when you measure the successes it will create.
First time I have ever blogged and it took y'all in Class III for me to consider such a thing !!
I look forward to seeing all of you again and to all a very relaxing and Merry Christmas !!

New Address for Soldier Cards

The address in Marys post below has decided that they cannot accept mail not addressed to a specific soldier, its a security issue. This address will work for those cards and notes you'd like to send to a recovering soldier.

Green Committee Update

Yesterday the Green Committee met with Paul Le Roy who is the Commercial Recycling Coordinator for the City of Plano. Eight members of the committee were in attendance. We went over the program that Plano has and what materials we could contribute. We talked about how to implement the plan with CCAR personnel and guests. We also talked about where to place the dumpster, whether or not a screening structure would be needed and how quickly we could implement the program.

Tasks:
1. Mary Leidy is checking with our builder friends to see who would be willing to contribute the bricks and labor to put up the screening wall around the new dumpster.
2. Shelly is pricing "recycle" themed cans for the office workers and for the common rooms.
3. Bob will schedule a follow up meeting, probably after the holiday, to confirm the details of this program element which we want to have implemented by Jan 31, 2008. We will als discuss low-flow water solutions, rain-water capturing, and scheduling the realtor hybrid vehicles auto show at CCAR.

TRLP GRADUATION DATE-CORRECTION

The TRLP Committee met today and in the process of reviewing the 2008 calendar noted the date for Session 8 (Graduation) is in error. Graduation will occur on Friday, June 6. Please make note of this correction.

Christmas Party at Poor Davids

Dave Christensen of Class III and his Sole Poets will be performing their Christmas Party Holiday show, Saturday December the 22nd, at the Legendary Poor Davids Pub with 2 other Local Hero Bands.

The new Poor Davids is located in the South Lamar revitalized Dowtown Arts district next to Gilley's and other music venues. If you have not been to the New Poor Davids you are in for dejavu. It is so eerily authentic to the Lower Greenville version it will amaze you, just bigger and nicer.

Adopt A Soldier

This is a very important subject to me and I am going to get my account set up immediately. I know someone who has done this and is very excited about it. I am also working with the USO with my NARPM organization to help the soldiers coming home. Please consider finding about about adopting a soldier. The support for things like this has waned as the War has drug on. Please think about it.
