OML members – Can you help us, help others?
|
|
During the upcoming Annual Conference, OML will be raising funds to benefit the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma.
Hunger in Oklahoma continues to be a significant problem and concern in our state. That is why OML will be hosting the first Beer & Wine Pull and Gift Card Pull during the conference. Attendees will have the opportunity to donate to the Regional Food Bank and ‘pull’ for beer or wine, as well as gift cards.
You can help in a couple of ways. First, you can donate either beer or wine or a gift card or secondly, you can purchase tickets to the pulls while attending the annual conference.
One hundred percent of the funds raised will benefit the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma.
If you are a business and donate your beer, wine, or gift card, your company’s name will appear in our event program, in the event app, and on the event website.
To arrange a drop-off or a pick-up of your contribution before the conference, please contact
Ginny Wilson via email or by calling 405-528-7515. Donations may also be made at the OML office, located at 201 N.E. 23rd, Oklahoma City, Monday - Friday, from 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.

The Budgetary Conditions Survey is Back!
OML Needs Your Assistance!
|
|
After a few years of not producing the Budgetary Conditions Survey, OML is bringing this informative survey back. The survey compares the status of Oklahoma municipalities with others across the nation. The survey, which has been sent to municipal clerks, city managers, finance officers and other city administrators, provides OML with important information that can be used as lobbying back-up at the state legislature and for other general research purposes. The survey will answer questions as how cities and towns handle their resources, such as, what are the costs associated with healthcare and other major long-term funding. Please take a few moments to complete the survey and send back to us by the deadline date of September 10, 2018. Thank you for your assistance.
