Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
An enlightening, inspirational and thoroughly entertaining presentation to adult audiences.
Measurable Outcome(s)
The audience was not large but it was well received by those in attendance. Some had been to Will Rogers ranch and museum and said Reeder helped them to view Will's life in a more personal perspective to them. It was noted that Will's views on politics can be applied to today's politics. They loved the history and "old time humor" Reeder brought to the stage.
