I am honored again to serve again as your Wyoming Qwest Telecom Pioneers.  We have many challenges to face this year as we work to complete the traditional projects we support and provide to our communities.  Input and suggestions for projects and ways to support our communities are welcomed from all members. 

In 2008  we will focus on:

• maintaining our membership and volunteer participation and recruiting participation
• Project Connect (an on line, web based educational program free to all schools and other groups) - reinforces math and science skills and reading comprehension to children in grades four through seven.  Free to all schools.
• Power up to Read reinforces reading comprehension for grades four through seven.  
• On line demos for both educational programs can be provided and scheduled - please contact me!!!
• Operation Back to School - Fall 2008
• Holiday decorations for Senior Homes
• Hug a Bears
• Ride the Winds Bike a Thon - August 2008
• HelluvaHunt - October 1, 2008 - Douglas

Wyoming Pioneers are blessed with the great support and interaction with Qwest State President, Mike Ceballos.   

Chapter conference calls are held each month - call the State Pioneer Office at 307-235-3775 for time and dates.   We welcome your participation and new ideas.

 Please don’t hesitate to call me if you have any questions.

Sincerely,
