This weekend

This weekend is one of only two left for registering voters for this election. So it's important that we get as many volunteers as possible this weekend.

Osage Hills

At our war council last night we decided to go for broke. We'll be doing the Wal-Marts again, because they have also worked well, but we are going to try for a big push at Osage Hills this weekend. This has a potential to net us a very large number of registrations. The more people we get, the quicker and more efficiently we can get this done.

Please call Mary Jo at 269-4400 or email Greg to tell us you will be there to help.

We will meet at the party HQ (3930 East 31 Street) at 11:30 AM on Saturday for a quick orientation. Then we will caravan to Osage hills and try to cover the entire complex working in pairs.

If you can't work at that time, but still want to help this weekend, go ahead and call Mary Jo. She'll tell you when else we could use the help.

March Toward CommUNITY

I personally plan on attending this, but I'm not sure how well publicised it has been. Sunday afternoon OCCJ is sponsoring a 2 mile march downtown in support of community and justice in the Tulsa area. This is part of their 50th anniversary celebration. It will start and end at the Greenwood Cultural Center (322 North Greenwood). Afterwards there will be a "Blues and BBQ celebration". I'm told that showing up just for that part is discouraged though. (You slackers out there know I'm talking about you. :-) )

There will be $500 prizes given out to the groups with the most participants in five categories. Registration starts at 2, the march starts at 3, and the celebration afterwards begins at 5:45. I'm told other food options besides BBQ will be provided.

As usual, any other ideas or comments you may have are welcome in the comments section below.
