I am happy to announce the Chamber has a brand new website!  Please check out 

MiamiOKChamber.com

Many thanks to Gale Lee with Skyeblue Marketing for doing such a wonderful job.  She has built websites for other local businesses and organizations, and is wonderful to work with.

 

Unfortunately, we are still having issues with our e-mail after the conversion.  If you received an e-mail saying the address was not valid, please try again. 

 

Additional seating has been made available for the 4th of July fireworks display in the grandstands at the fairgrounds.  Great view and easy parking.  The grandstands open at 8pm.

 

4th of July Celebration is this Saturday!  We will again have free games and hot dogs, concessions will be available, and the best fireworks display in the four-state area by Scott Garber. This year we are excited to also have a concert by the Jake Simpson Band.  This local young man from Wyandotte is making a name for himself in Nashville, and we are so excited to have him playing for us locally.  You don't want to miss this talented young man, so come early and get a great seat on the lawn.

 

OBI is hosting a blood drive today at INTEGRIS.  Please stop by and give the gift of life.

 

Have a great week!

Michele

Help is needed!  Please consider one or more of the following ways you can show support.

  • Volunteer-We need a multitude of volunteers to make this project run smoothly.   You can volunteer for the entire day or pick whatever fits into your time schedule. Please list what area you would like to help with. The areas that you could help with are:
Aug 3rd -Setting up of the tables and supplies
Aug 4th-Passing out supplies, crowd control, breaking down boxes, clean up, etc.
  • Donations-We need lots of donations to make this project a SUCCESS!!  Monetary or school supply donations would be greatly appreciated.  An example of what other agencies have done in the past is purchasing crayons and placing an address label on the box advertising where the item was donated.  Another example is purchasing pencils/pens with a printed logo.

 

Kathy sets up a resource fair each year.  The resource fair is set up so that each person that attends the fair walks by your booth.  Some vendors give away items at their booth but mainly designed to provide information on services that are offered to families. 

 

  • First Baptist Church - 24 A SW Miami  918-542-1691

Clothing donations, children sizes only, can be dropped off at the church to assist our families with providing clothing to their children before school starts.  It is crucial for students to start school with new or gently used clothes.
