December 11, 2008, was the 4th session of the Washita Valley Leadership Program. The agenda included a trip to the Great Plains Correctional Facility, lunch at the Sugar Creek Golf Course, and a driving tour of the Hinton community (including Red Rock Canyon State Park). Some class members weren't able to attend due to illnesses or family emergencies, and they were missed. However, those that were able to go on the tour enjoyed the day and learned a great deal about economic development and small communities.

Those attending were Laurie, Conni, Joe, Greg, Jake, Ranel, Heidi, Sherry, Diane, Pam, James, Angela, Staci, Cindy and Kem. David was a great driver and got us home safely and quickly. See you next time at the January 15, 2009, Youth and Education Class!
