America’s Greatest Homecoming Celebration…now what?


Ten for Joplin, that’s what!

[paraphrased from the tenforjoplin.org site]

“The Tulsa and Joplin Area Habitat for Humanity teams have joined forces with the City of Joplin to construct 10 homes starting October 29th for low-income families impacted by the devastating May 22 tornado.”

OSU will be taking busses to Joplin for the day (10/31) to work 8-5 on a home there. We’ve got about 40 spots left, so if you’re interested in going or have any questions, contact Joyce Montgomery at jmont@okstate.edu or call her at (405) 744-5145.

Thanks for serving!
