Sooner Schooners
Local Chapter
By Reatha Hill

The March luncheon and business meeting was held March 6 at the Interurban Restaurant near Yukon, OK. Hosts were Pete and Serena Cozzitorto and Larry and Thelma Theriot.

Thirty-one members attended the luncheon. Following the meal, the group discussed the upcoming work rally scheduled for Apr. 9 - 11 at Pioneer RV Park near Guthrie, OK. At the work rally, we will be assembling our goodie bags and making final preparations for our State Rally Apr. 30 - May 2 at the Expo Center in Shawnee, OK. We invite all out-of-staters to join us for fun, games, and lots of food.

The theme for this year's State Rally is "Celebrate Oklahoma Pride." When we started our research, we learned there were a lot of famous places and famous people in OK. So, we have concentrated on famous Oklahomans. We will be showing pictures and autobiographies of many famous Oklahomans. We are also preparing a bulletin board with information you may not know about OK.

The club continues to have a Community Service project each month. For March, we chose to again support the Meals on Wheels organizations, because like most states, our state has cut its support for meals for the elderly. Our March contribution was $140.
