The Search for Rachel, a father's journal |
|
Wednesday, February 1 through Sunday, February 5 I received a nice thank-you card from missing Tara Grinstead's sister Anita. It was nice to hear from her although it's sad that there is no news on either Tara or Rachel.A reminder that the fourth annual Children's Health Festival is this Saturday, February 11. Rachel Alert Network will join several other agencies in passing out and providing safety information. A good number of families always attend the event, and they learn a lot. Monday, February 6 through Sunday, February 12 Wednesday night I flew to Appleton, Wisconsin, for the Unifying the Missing Conference. Thursday I attended three educational sessions. Friday morning I spoke to around 60 people about Rachel's case and the changes I've seen with missing person cases since Rachel disappeared in 2002. I flew back to Austin on Friday night.Saturday my sister Elaine and I hosted a Rachel Alert Network information table at the Children's Health Festival in Round Rock. The attendance this year was down. I think the low attendance was due to the sudden cold snap that hit Central Texas combined with the closing of Interstate 35 for construction. Monday, February 13 through Sunday, February 19 We are working to schedule a M.U.S.T. self-defense and awareness seminar in late April. It's been a long time since we hosted a seminar. I will post the date and location soon.We are still getting a few orders for Rachel Alert Network cookbooks. We may order a few hundred more books to sell. The cookbooks have been one of our most successful fund-raisers. Monday, February 20 through Tuesday, February 28 Rachel Alert Network will attend the CUE Center conference for missing person organizations. The conference will take place on Saturday, March 25 and Sunday, March 26 in Wilmington, NC. |
