Pasadena School Program Update

The last time I posted it appeared as if my school program was going to be completely cut. Last month our school's grant was approved for another 5 year cycle. This year will be the start of my fifth year. Many individuals on this board were instrumental in making this program possible and over the years many others have contributed to it in the way of personal appearances and donations. For as long as I have been reading this board there has been endless consternation about the direction pool is going and what can be done to revive it. I believe that the cornerstone of the revival of our great game is to put it in schools. I also believe a business plan should be developed to have pool in more family friendly environments that do not include boos, smoke, and gambling. I will have three groups of 12 kids this year. At my campus we have a high degree of turnover in our student body so I end up seeing many more students over one term. Here's hoping for another good year. :D
