Michael L. Available for Adoption
	I am: 14 years old. I am in: 8th grade. Favorite food: cheeseburgers, chicken nuggets and orange chicken. Favorite Activity: I like to play tennis, chess, and basketball. Skyler is a spirited young man with a quiet, reserved side who will open up to people once he feels comfortable with them. An indoor-outdoor boy, he enjoys tennis and is also a skilled chess player, video game player and magician. He is a master at solving puzzles, especially Rubik’s cubes. Skyler has had the opportunity to help care for pets, which he did with great care and responsibility. Skyler is considered very bright, though school is not his favorite activity. He would do best as an only child in a loving, supportive family who will accept him for who he is and provide him with the stability and security he needs and deserves. Potential families would be asked to support contact between Skyler and his sibling. EZ

Before High School Musical, before Grease, there was BYE BYE BIRDIE! A satire done with the fondest of affection, it tells the story of a rock-n-roll singer about to be inducted into the army and the hilarious publicity plan concocted by his agent before he leaves. Classic American theater songs insure this production is tops in imagination and fun for audiences of all ages! Don’t miss this national touring Broadway show on Monday, March 2 at 7 p.m. at Marshall Auditorium as part of the Cultural Arts Series sponsored by Clovis Community College and The Citizens Bank of Clovis.

Tickets are $20 General Admission, $15 for Seniors, Military and Students, and are available at the CCC Cashiers’ Windows, Information Tickets and Tours located in The End Zone at Cannon AFB, and at the Box Office the evening of the performance (pending availability).
