NAACP

Good turnout, inspiring resolution by Otero County NAACP President, Warren Robinson, great entertainment,  beautiful people, great conversations, and a nice cool breeze in the shade of the cottonwood trees next to the Alamogordo Public Library made for a delightful event.  The theme was a salute to Asians and Pacific Islanders across the world.

Opening event from the  state of  Hawaii was by Michael and Desiree Salé, stationed at HAFB.  Michael sang traditional and contemporary Hawaiian songs accompanied with his guitar and ukulele.  Traditional hula dance was performed by Desiree with grace and a beautiful smile.  Michael also talked about the history of Hawaii and how it became a statehood.

Karunna & Marie Warren with the New World Drummers and  Dancers completed the entertainment with traditional African drums and dance.

The event was broadcast live by Bob Flott on KUPR 91.7 FM

The Otero County Juneteenth Celebration was excellently planned and organized by Carolyn and Ron Peeler.  Many thanks for their work.

Ron Peeler has our Professional Development section up and running.  Access is from the Professional Development menu item.

In the next few months I intend on developing and then posting information that runs the gamut from respect for oneself and others, to leadership, and resume building. This information is primarily directed at our young people and by that I mean the 16 to 21 year old age range. rp

To date we have the first four elements of  this project posted:  They are titled “Know Yourself“,” Public Speaking 101“, “Dressing for Success“, and “Resume Writing” and with more to come.

Latest Edition: Workplace Behavior and the OODA Loop!

If the first four lessons are any indication, this will be a great opportunity to help get your professional life started. I think its great and I’m way over 21!  We welcome your participation, your comments, and your questions. Spread the Word?
