Big Brothers and Big Sisters of North Texas Clay Shoot
Pat Johnson and a young neighbor attended this fun event at Elm Fork Shooting Park in Dallas. This day in the outdoors was for adults and children of all skill levels who enjoy the fast pace of shooting sporting clays. Proceeds went to the Big Brothers and Big Sisters Outdoor Mentoring Programs, and will match more than 100 children in North Texas with safe, caring adult mentors for an entire year! These programs partner adults with a passion for the outdoors with children who may not otherwise have the opportunity to spend time in this natural setting. Whether fishing, camping or hiking, these adventures open up doors of opportunity to children that previously went unrealized.

 Dallas Wind Symphony
The Dallas Wind Symphony is highly regarded, considered by many to be the premier civilian windband in the world.  According to Executive Director Kim Campbell, concerts are just a small part of the bigger picture; “Music affects us all – no matter the age. We know music instruction for the young helps to train the mind. It instills confidence, enhances math skills, teaches cooperation, listening, self-discipline. If we can help to do that with the Institute, what better way to help our youth, our schools, our community?”  To promote  education outreach, UltraMedia provides a flat-screen television during each concert, informing guests about the programs and resources available to students.
