VFW Post 382 in El Reno has hosted an annual Easter egg hunt for special needs children beginning in 1999 with Terry Walker as commander of the post. It has continued every year except for 2020 when it was canceled because of COVID.

This year Auxiliary President Nancy Salsman worked with ERPS Special Services Director Mendy Klepper to arrange an Easter egg hunt for special needs students.

A four-ton heat and air unit has been donated to Canadian Valley Technology Center’s Heat and Air program by the Air-Conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI). The Institute is the trade association representing manufacturers of HVAC and water heating equipment.

The Trane gas/electric unit is valued at $3,580.

AHRI is the testing and certifying organization for all American manufacturers of heat and air equipment.

AHRI shipped the unit at no cost to the school.
