Dates to Remember 1st Annual Kids' Redfish Tournament- Alabama May 2 23rd National Bass Championship May 9 - 11 17th Annual Junior Fishing Championship May 10 - 11 18th Annual Extravaganza June 7 Turning Point Scores with Mustangs Dr Charles Lovas of SMU began a special annual project with his senior engineering students. They would build new devices, or improve ones that would make life better for people with speical needs. Turning Point submitted project ideas and SMU selected the few they wanted to tackle. Porjects ranged from pill dispensers to golf cart adapters. SMU picked 3 of Turning Point's ideas. One project was designing a cooling vest that allows individuals with spinal cord injuries who are not able to sweat, to spend extended periods of time outdoors in the heat.. They also designed a handcycle that can be peddled with your hands or feet or both. Also they built an extended range vehicle which allows a person in a wheelchair to play golf or use off road for hunting or exploring the wilderness while seated in their wheelchair. Turning Point would like to thank all of the people involved for their hard work and time invested. Check out the link below for the news coverage of the unveiling of some of the projects.

TP Alabama hosted a charity event for a young man who has a rare bone marrow disease, (who Teddy coached in baseball a few years back) named Justin Finch at his middle school. They played a basketball game between students and teachers. The press was on hand and Turning Point received some good coverage and raised Justin and his family a few hundred bills.
