Holiday Party was Great Fun for Good Cause

2009 Holiday Party Pictures!

This year's Holiday Party was another success!  We had almost 250 people in attendance this year.  It was a perfect night; no snow or ice and the weather was a chilly 28 degrees, with clear skies!  The see pictures from the party click here. 

This year's charitable beneficiary was Meals on Wheels.  THANK YOU to all those who brought canned food items for the "Blizzard Bags".  You all brought enough items to fill nearly 200 bags!

Leadership Tulsa Supplies "Blizzard Bag" Donation

Leadership Tulsa hosted their annual holiday party on Thursday, December 10^th and this year's beneficiary was Meals on Wheels of Metro Tulsa.

 Leadership Tulsa Members brought items of food that will be used to make "blizzard bags" and then those bags will be delivered to the homebound recipients of Meals on Wheels. "Blizzard Bags" are an emergency sack of food items which is provided to Meals on Wheels recipients to hold in reserve for a winter day when snow and ice make regular meal delivery impossible. 

The bags contain shelf-stable, easy-to-fix items which insure that the homebound, elderly and disabled will at least have something good to eat until the next regular Meals on Wheels delivery day.

With winter quickly approaching and Oklahoma's unpredictable weather, these food items are important to give the homebound something to fall back on so that they do not go hungry when the weather does not permit our meal delivery. Meals on Wheels and the homebound we serve are grateful for the generosity of Leadership Tulsa members.

LT Members Discover their Strengths

Two dozen Leadership Tulsa members gathered at OU Tulsa to "discover their strengths" during a special workshop with Adam Seaman.   It is no surprise to those who know Leadership Tulsa members that "responsibility" and "achiever" topped the list of strengths present.   This fun "wordle" art gives you a sense of the power in the room.    We are thinking of offering another workshop in the spring.  If you would have an interest please let wendy@leadershiptulsa.org know!
