Land plots

I would personally like t thank all that came out to make the garden opening a success. Over the summer, there will be many opportunities to work on these plots.

We managed to get carrots, squash, n cucumbers into plots 14 and 15, before the luscious rains started. we have okra radishes n onions in plot 27, and we have tomatoes peppers n various mamacita growths in plot 28.

We will be donating parts if not all tothe food bank. come harvest time. If you know how to hoe, please bring out and do so.I look forward to seeing you all there.

Storytelling and Art Workshop

I apologize for the lateness but I just wanted to let everyone know that the Storytelling and Art Workshop that was held on February 18th which was a Friday from 5pm to 6pm (actually ended at 6:30pm) was a success! We heard Sam McMichael tell some crazy stories about bees,cows and rats with no tails. Afterwards Sam led a storytelling workshop while some of us painted pictures of what we'd heard with Sandra Dunn.

Thanks! to all who attended and we hope that those who could not, will be able to attend future events which will be held on the third Friday of each month.

A Special Thanks!to Sam and Sandra!

February 18th @ 5pm in the Sheplar Ballroom

Bring your family out Friday, February 18, for an evening of drawing, painting and storytelling!

Featuring workshops with storyteller, Sam McMichael, and artist, Sandra Dunn.

Sam McMichael is a long-time resident of the Apache community. He grew up in the rich storytelling tradition of Southwest Oklahoma, hearing tales of the early days of the state, tales of good times and bad times, tall tales, fish stories, hunting stories and brags. He has worked this wealth of material into the fabric of his own experiences and fashioned unique stories full of pathos, humor, and surprise.

Sam has traveled Oklahoma as a professional storyteller for the past twenty years spinning his yarns at schools, fairs, libraries, festivals and conventions.

Sam will tell a story and lead a workshop for kids and adults who want to learn to tell stories, too. And Sandra Dunn will lead kids and adults in a workshop illustrating stories using mixed media

(like colored pencils and watercolors).

Sandra Dunn graduated with a BA in Art from Cameron University. She has participated in many group exhibitions in Oklahoma. Her work was recently included in the 'Heart and Soul of the Great Plains' exhibit at the Museum of the Great Plains. Sandra was also a guest artist and teacher for the Great Plains "Metamorphosis" summer art program for children and teens. She is currently working on a series of encaustic (wax) panels for upcoming shows and fests.

Refreshments and materials for writing and painting will be provided. Just bring your imaginations!

Thought this was too cute to pass up.

You know it really is true about what kids say. They say the darndest things! So it is lunch time and I ask my son Nathan, "What do you want to eat for lunch?" "A potpie or salisbury steak t.v. dinner?" He doesn't answer, so I say "What's it going to be?" He replies and says "I will have the strawberry steak." I thought that was so cute I had to tell my husband that and we both got a giggle out of it. Hope this brightens your day and I'm glad I could share. :)

Box Tops.....

If there is anyone out there that is not using box top labels please do not throw them away! Please hold on to them and bring it to the meetings or contact one of the officers. We can put them to good use by giving them to the school age children that are taking them to their schools. I am collecting them for my son and right now I just need 7 of them. I'm thinking if we can get enough of them we can distribute them to those who are using them. Thanks! In advance your Sec. Cathleen
