September 2025
This month has been winding down with book events. I chose to not do events in August because it was so hot. The last event was July 25th which was at the Friday Nights in the Park. August was too hot for me to participate in events outdoors. So, I got busy with being guests on podcasts (check them out on www.markmccraw.com ) and coordinating with an illustrator for my new book on bullying coming out soon. This is a coordinated effort with another author, MaKenzi Fox.
During the month of September, I did set up at a Friday Nights at the Park event. On Friday Nights, I also participated with the American Legion booth in a different capacity. My next Friday Nights in the Park is during December.
I was also elected the post Vice Commander of the post just recently. In addition, I was approved as a member of Kiwanis and Veteran’s of Foreign Wars.
As a Boys State Post Chairman, I coordinated with other Post American Legion Members to put on a Boys State Recognition Dinner with over 60 people in attendance. Boys State was a week-long event held in May at Rogers State University in Claremore, OK.
This event brought together over 300 High School Juniors to learn and participate in an interactive environment of leadership, patriotism, and government. Our post locally chose to recognize delegates in September. (www.okboysstate.com). Our post sent 13 delegates locally.
During the event, there were four mayors in attendance, delegates, delegate families, local Chamber of Commerce, school administration, special guests, and Air Force Junior R.O.T.C. cadets and instructor.
My next project is getting ready for a book festival in Greer, S.C. and a book event in Spartanburg, S.C. in October. There is always lots to do to get prepared. See my website for an interview on the book festival that I was interviewed on (www.markmccraw.com).
