USO
United Through Reading Program
CHRW March program was presented by Sheri Allen from the DFW USO. Sherri is currently the Program
Coordinator for the USO's "United Throught Reading Program". Part of our Caring For America project is
providing books to the USO for this project. The program offers the military parent to choose a children's
book and be filmed reading the book to the child. The USO then sends the DVD of the parent along with the
book home to the child.

Operation Once in a Lifetime
Conner Harrington will be participating in this project created to make the dreams of our military personnel
and their families come true. Being a soldier is not a glamorous job nor is it a financially gainful one,
but it is about pride and love for America. Operation Once in a Lifetime provides leisure activities such as going
to an NBA game, going on a shopping spree, taking the kids to a theme park, dining at a 4-star restaurant, playing
a round of golf at a PGA course or staying at a luxury hotel. These types of events would make their homecoming
truly memorable. We can provide these small luxuries as a way of saying thank you. For more info contact Anna
Hale or Linda Wynn Drain.

Scholarships Awarded at Fall Kickoff
Alesha Jackson, Plano Senior High School, and Holly Menke, Carrollton Christian Academy were each awarded $1000 by
Conner Harrington for their essays on Republicanism. The 2007 Gladys
Harrington Scholarships were presented at CHRW's fall kickoff held at
Maggianos at Willow Bend on August 14, 2007. Texas Senator Florence Shapiro gave a rousing talk regarding the
completed legislative session to get the gathering excited about the upcoming political season.

A New U.S. District Court Breaks Ground in Plano
The additional Eastern U.S. District Court, located in the northwest corner of Plano at 7940
Preston Road, will open within the next six to eight months. As a result of the 2003 law change, judges
in the Eastern District will split the court dockets between Plano and Sherman, where currently all Collin County
cases are heard. Federal Judge Richard Schell will sit as one of the two judges in the new court.
