Thank you for the messages, I have no idea what happened to out video of the meeting. I am completely upset as the information was amazing. Stay tuned, I will see if I can find it. If not, please dial the number I left and I am going to try to bring Beth back for another meeting. My apologies.

Good afternoon (almost)
I hope you all watch the video we posted of the meeting last night! Sooner Success will certainly be a major asset to you in everything from IEP meetings to potential funding for families AND your special children. Beth had some great news for us, and I am going to leave the video up for about a week or so but please, watch it and you will see, we have an organization that is genuine and standing by to assist. We are excited to have her as a contact and the assistance the organization can provide is really going to make life decisions easier. I encourage you to watch it and contact Beth or 918-530-2721 with your questions.
We had a long break but what a way to get back into what we were started up for. Please watch and make the phone call if you need.
We are looking for a parent or two for our board that can be a conduit to families. Think about it and get back to us. Couple more announcements made last night, our annual Christmas party is set for the 13th of December at the bowling alley. We will have a form for you to print, fill out and either email it back to us or we can arrange a pick-up. We are also entering a float again this year, more coming on that but we will of course like some of our families to be on that float. The parade is the 6th of Dec so stay tuned for more information!
Thank you all and please as I said, watch the video and share with others. God Bless and stay tuned!
