Grants

Sept 10-12
University of Phoenix hosted a Grant Institute class with about a dozen students from all over the state and one Californian. Our instructor was from Houston TX by way of Washington DC. We had 3 days of intensive writing and drills for grant writing and ended up earning our certification certificates. It was a good educational experience hearing how others will use their skills to fund projects. I was surprised how many small and large government entities are forced into finding funding through grants for things that are of major safety concern for the general public good.

Sept 12
Bob and I met for dinner at Bill Johnson’s and once again found the Wild West Gazette box empty! The manager Karen says they go really fast and everyone really enjoys our publication. We usually have dinner there every Friday night so we try to keep it full. We doubled up the number this time to see if they last.
