ForWord will expand this mission by offering new artistic and academic opportunities to the diverse youth of the El Paso, Texas area by using literature and technology to engage their creativity, while learning the value of the arts and higher education. Young writers will learn how a workshop environment can improve their own writing through feedback, utilizing fellow writers to illustrate and learn techniques, all while exposing them to the benefits of technology such as tele-workshops. Participants will have metrics such as portfolios and also be provided with opportunities for publication. ForWord will provide several workshop times and locations in the community.

Since then the concept has swept across the country in a grassroots movement supported by a broad spectrum of individuals, veterans organizations, and businesses (Public Law 99-54). The year 2013 also marks the 238th birthday of the U.S. ARMY. Two hundred and thirty-eight years ago, our Nation's leaders established the Continental Army, beginning a rich heritage of successfully defending this great country and her citizens. On June 14th, we will celebrate the continued honor, loyalty, and bravery of our Soldiers in this noble calling. The ceremony will be held at Post 58, 4274 Vulcan, (Northeast) El Paso, on June 14th and begins promptly at 7:00 p.m. Those who have flags in need of disposal may bring them to the ceremony.

The 2013 production includes 200 all new, hand-embellished costumes designed by Shakespearean expert Arthur Oliver and created in St Petersburg’s oldest theatrical costume shop. Celebrate the beauty of the holidays and the best of Russian ballet in one grand production of Moscow Ballet’s Great Russian Nutcracker!
