Can be completed any time in 2022, even better if it's January 9th.

In light of recent negativity directed toward law enforcement nationally, there is now a need to show law enforcement officers that our citizens recognize the difficult and sometimes impossible career they have chosen in public service to us all. If you want to show support to law enforcement, our virtual races are a great way to do so. With different race distances to choose from, there is a way for everyone to support the authorities. Whether you choose to run or walk, run outside or on a treadmill - the choice is yours! How do our virtual races benefit law enforcement? At least 15 percent of each entry fee will be donated to Concerns of Police Survivors, an organization that partners with law enforcement and communities to help survivors and co-workers affected by line of duty deaths.

Race entry fee: $18 (includes a medal, bib, and 15% donated to C.O.P.S.)
The "Law Enforcement Appreciation Day" race packages will start shipping out December 15th 2021, after that they will ship out 2 to 5 days after signing up.

Join retired attorney Tom Borcher as he discusses three landmark Supreme Court cases from the era of the George H.W. Bush administration and explores how they have impacted our daily lives. One major case that he will highlight is Texas v. Johnson of 1990, which dealt with flag burning. This case and others like it have questioned the definitions of complicated issues of civil liberties such as free speech.

Tom Borcher makes you wonder: If you were on the Supreme Court, how would you have decided?

Investigative journalism may lead to "stranger than fiction" stories of true escapades, adventures, and sometimes unimaginable actions undertaken. The focus of this true story uncovered and written by Skip Hollandsworth in his literary nonfiction style, involves two teenagers living in Dallas. Is it possible they should be included among the extremely small number of successful jewelry thieves in the world?

Mr. Hollandsworth is a Writer and the Executive Editor of the Texas Monthly Magazine. He has received many journalism awards including winning the National Magazine Award in Feature Writing from the American Society of Magazine Editors as well as being a finalist four times. His long list of honors include the National Headliners Award, the National John Hancock Award for Excellence in Business and Financial Journalism, the City and Regional Magazine Gold Award for feature writing, and the Texas Institute of Letter O.
