My apologies for anyone who has popped in to see if there is ANYTHING new going on. While looking at the blog it would appear that nothing is going on in West Dallas but that would be FAR FROM THE TRUTH!
In fact, the West Dallas community has been buzzing with events since last Christmas! I've just been terrible at letting you all know about it.
Run down of most recent events:
Voice of Hope has had several events including special conferences for women and girls, health fair, bridge out of poverty seminars, and partnering with other groups (including Mercy Street) to beautify Pinkston High School.
Jaycee Zaragoza had it's annual Dia De La Familia, which included a parade and festival.
Sgt. Smith had Police Athletic League kids (several from West Dallas) train for 6 weeks and participate in the Farmer's Market Family Fun Run.
Numerous West Dallas organizations came together for another wonderful West Dallas Spring Clean. I will post some photos later this week.
Promise!

Federal Aviation Administration Opportunity
If you have or know youngsters between the ages of 18-31 with a high school diploma (extra credit for those with college hours):
The Federal Aviation Association is taking applications for air Traffic controller school.
We all have kids and know kids in the right age group (under 31) and with serious effort they could reach a salary of over $100,000 with benefits in about 3 years.
They need to go to faa.gov for details and to fill out the application immediately - even if they don't know if they'd want to attend immediately - it's the federal government and it may take them months to call. The key is to apply NOW.
There will be a lot of retirements coming up rather quickly and they need to line up training to accommodate these openings. FAA rarely has an open application such as this and that the jobs are coveted.
This is a great opportunity and it should be noted that choosing a site like Anchorage or Indianapolis to train is a likely acceptance into the training program - after-which they can transfer anywhere in the country that has a tower.
Please pass this information on to others!!
