KS Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve Newsletter, Summer 2010TRANSCRIPT
Kansas ESGR 1
The month of June was extremely
busy for Kansas Employer Support of
the Guard and Reserve members as
they organized and managed two Job
Fairs in Kansas.
June 14,2010, was the date for the
Wichita ESGR Job Fair. It was con-
ducted at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in
downtown Wichita, KS. Ninety-seven
businesses, colleges and employment
agencies participated. Approximately
2100 job seekers attended.
On June 23, 2010, Kansas ESGR
greeted ninety-one vendors and 1500
participants at the Ritz Charles Con-
vention Center in Overland Park, KS.
The Kansas
National
Guard and
Kansas ESGR
hosted em-
ployers at VIP
day at the
Kansas Speed-
way on March 30, 2010. Bosses had an
opportunity to meet with race car owners
and drivers. The day started with a video
in the National Guard tent on Indy Car
racing. We then toured the garage areas,
viewing the Indy cars. Lunch was served
to all by the Panther racing team. Pro
Patria award was presented to Marquee
Artisan Wines of Overland Park.
The National Guard Indy car Driver Dan
Weldon came to the tent to chat with the
employers and sign autographs. We were
then free to roam the infield. The rain
stopped, they were able to dry the track
and the Indy cars took to the track for
practice
runs. by

ESGR Expands National Goals through 2015
Kansas/Missouri Recognize Employers at Breakfast
From the State Chair It is hard to believe that I
am completing my third
year as the State Chair.
How time flies when we
are so involved in so many
activities. As we complete
the last quarter of the
fiscal year, it is very re-
warding for me to look at
the number of Statements
of Support, Boss Lifts &
many other activities that
you have completed.
Kansas ESGR is a leader in
the nation in activities and
in creating new activities
to support those who
serve in uniform. We have
just completed two job
fairs. Both were a great
success. As I visited with
employers at the job fairs,
they remarked about the
professional class of peo-
ple attending. Almost all
employers stated they had
a more successful rate
with these two job fairs in
hiring people than the
2009 Job Fair.
Activities scheduled for
the last quarter of the
fiscal year include a Na-
tional Boss Lift, Soldier
Readiness Processing, in-
state Boss Lifts to Ft.
Riley and other briefings
Thanks for a job well done
by each of our volunteers
and a special thanks for
the full time staff for
supporting the operations.

Refueling may be routine to those who are the experts but to the public, it’s an exciting adventure. May 19, 2010, was an adventure for 30 employers who boarded a KC 135 Refueling Tanker. Manned by the Kansas Coyotes 190th Air Refueling Wing, the plane refueled a B 52 Bomber over Iowa. After a briefing by the Kansas Air National Guard and Kansas Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve, the participants boarded the plane. At the end of a cloudy, rainy, 30 minute flight, the tanker refueled the bomber. Guests were invited to observe the boom operators in action by laying adjacent to the cradle. People were rotated in about every 3 minutes. The 3 hour flight concluded at Forbes Field, Topeka, KS.

Rosecrans Air National Guard hosted the
Sound of Speed Air Show April 1-2, 2010
near St. Joseph, MO. Employers from Kansas
and Missouri were invited to attend VIP day
prior to the Air Show. They were informed
of the mission of the 139th Mis-
souri Air National Guard and
briefed by Kansas ESGR Chair
Mick Allen on the purposes of
ESGR. Following an awards lunch
in the base cafeteria, guests
viewed the U.S. Navy Blue Angels
Demonstration Team, vintage air-
craft and other precision flyers.
Combined efforts of the Kansas
and Missouri ESGR staff and vol-
unteers made this an enjoyable
event with multiple outcomes.
