SAFETY & EDUCATION PROGRAM
ON SEPTEMBER 2ND, I MAILED ONE DOZEN LETTERS TO LOCAL HIGH SCHOOLS DRIVERS EDUCATION INSTRUCTORS IN OUR AREA TO KICK OFF THE MOTORCYCLE AWARENESS PROGRAM FOR ABATE.
I HAVE ALREADY BEEN CONTACTED BY SOUTH CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL IN FARINA. THEY HAVE 3 CLASSES FOR ME TO DO ON SEPTEMBER 8TH. THERE WILL BE ABOUT 80 STUDENTS INVOLVED.
THE PROGRAM IS ABOUT 40 MINUTES LONG, CONSISTING OF A QUIZ OF 12 QUESTIONS, AN 8-10 MINUTE FILM ON HOW MOTORCYCLES OPERATE ON ROADS & HIGHWAYS, AND A QUESTION & ANSWER PERIOD THAT CAN BE QUITE INTERESTING.
I HAVE DONE CLASSES AS FAR AWAY AS WALTONVILLE, OKAWVILLE, TRENTON & IN BREESE.
IF THIS PROGRAM HELPS ONE YOUNG PERSON TO DRIVE MORE ALERT AND MORE OBSERVANT OF MOTORCYCLES IT HAS DONE A GOOD JOB .
I HAVE ALSO BEEN ASKED TO MAKE UP & DO A PROGRAM ON ATV SAFETY FOR SALEM JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL IN NOVEMBER. I AM WORKING ON THIS NOW & WILL HAVE READY BY NOVEMBER 7TH TO DO. THIS WAS REQUESTED BY THE SCHOOL.
IF THIS PROGRAM WORKS OUT I WILL ALSO PUT THIS PROGRAM AVAILABILITY OUT TO ALL SCHOOLS THAT I DO NOW.
SO DRIVE SAFE NO MATTER WHAT YOU DRIVE.
DRIVE SAFE, DRIVE SMART,
BOB
