Colorful teaching in Leadership class project

Leadership Nacogdoches class of 2006-07 is now in the history books. In fact, their class project is a book – a coloring book to be exact.

Designed by class member Angie Brewer, the book will be offered free to emergency rooms and other locations where children may find it to be of comfort. Illustrations depict scenes of the areas that the Leadership class focused on such as public safety, history, education and medical. Activity pages will stretch the minds of little ones and also teach interesting facts about the county and state.

“Many thanks go to those in our community that gave from their hearts and their pocketbooks to bring our concept and design to reality. We sincerely appreciate their support,” recent Leadership graduate Robert Rasberry said.

Leadership Nacogdoches is a Chamber Community Development Division program. Paul Smith and Linda Foshee co-chair this important exercise in development for our county’s future leaders. Applications for the 08-09 class will be available in the summer of 2008, and the nine-month session will begin in September 2008. For information, contact Kelly Daniel at the Chamber of Commerce, 936-560-5533.
