Vance instructor pilot always willing to lend a hand
Joe O’Brien works at Vance Air Force Base with Maj. Pedro Trinidad, but never sees him there.
In fact, said O’Brien, a simulator instructor for Lear Siegler Services, the only place he ever sees Trinidad is at Lowe’s Home Improvement Warehouse.
Autry Tech students compile hundreds of community service hours
Autry Technology Center is doing more than educating students in cutting edge technology — instructors also are introducing community service projects to make them more well-rounded employees.
Dillinghams involved in numerous community activities
Dan Dillingham was posed with a simple request recently to gather his sons, Chad, Jed and Peter, for a quick interview and picture.
It took the businessman a few days to fulfill the request.
Jones’ community activities extend beyond her job in the DA’s office
Margaret Jones, an Alabama native, has been an Enid resident for 24 years, holding both leadership and volunteer positions within the community.
Original $1.5 million has grown six times for Enid Community Foundation
Mary Stallings grew up with parents who were active in the community. Seeing her parents give of themselves rubbed off on her, and she grew up believing that what you put into a community will be paid back.
Brown first learned about Enid’s past from Land Run families
Gary Brown is addicted to history.
His great-grandparents made the Land Run of 1893, settling in Garfield and Grant counties.
Sharp enjoys tutoring with Steve Sheik program
A mother of two girls, Brandi Sharp hopes to lead by example and she hopes her children see the importance of giving back to the community.
“It doesn’t take very much time to make a difference if you just do it,” Sharp said. “You certainly reap the rewards from it.”
Young volunteers a vital part of hospital programs
They don’t get paid for the hours they work.
What they get instead are advantages that pay bigger dividends for their future career paths.
Maye Adele Kirtley volunteers to help young women
Maye Adele Kirtley’s grandmother homesteaded 160 acres northeast of Meno as a single woman in her 20s, determined to make it on her own while teaching children in a dugout two miles away.
Rudy looks to education as key to success of community
Local banker Daron A. Rudy believes Enid is far ahead of other communities in improvements to the economy and quality of life, but the Enid community can’t be complacent or rest on its laurels.
La Conexion publication helps connect English-speaking, Spanish-speaking communities
Deadlines are a problem and finding sufficient stories also is challenging. Most small circulation newspaper editors and publishers would identify with those problems, but this Enid publication is slightly different. It’s in Spanish.
