The Abilene Geological Society and the Desk and Derrick Club of Abilene had the privilege once again of sponsoring the  " More! Rocks In Your Head " workshop which was held on June 26, 2009.  This is a “Teach the Teachers” workshop presented at the Region 14 Education Service Center in Abilene.  Over 50 teachers learned about Earth Science and will pass this knowledge on to more than 3800 students.  Thanks to the sponsorships from the Abilene Geological Society, Desk and Derrick Club of Abilene, Southwest Section AAPG and the Association of Desk and Derrick Clubs Foundation, the teachers were able to attend at a reduced fee and were given two (2) sets of rock samples for their classrooms.

******************************************************************************************

In 2009, the Desk and Derrick Club of Abilene gave more than 1300 Bit of Fun Energy Activity Books to the 3rd grade students in Abilene, Albany, Wylie, Hawley, Anson, Trent, and Merkel.  We have given over 5000 of the Energy Activity Books to the schools since 2005.
