MEMBER NEWS :
Richard Walton
 We are sad to share news that Richard Walton finished his earthly walk on Saturday. A long-time CPA, Richard was a NWOKC Chamber member with his Evolv Health Business. We always enjoyed catching up with Richard at Community Coffees and ribbon cuttings and will miss his friendship.  
Richard was a stalwart supporter and ardent fan of his wife, Susan, who is a survivor of the Murrah Bombing and founder of Suited for Success. Please keep Susan and their family in your prayers.  
Services will be Tuesday, July 21 at 10 AM at North MacArthur Church of Christ at MacArthur & Britton Rd. Memorial Donations to Suited for Success are requested in lieu of flowers. 

The Granville School of Music provides low cost music lessons to talented, low income children in coordination with the Oklahoma Rodeo Opry in the Stockyards.  Kimberly Albee-Bauer's husband Phillip Bauer, an acclaimed Johnny Cash tribute artist, will perform a special concert benefitting the Granville School - this Friday.  Info & Tickets Here
