OKC JAYCEES in MOORE, OK
The "Oklahoma Standard" is rising to the challenge.  Many of our neighbors in surrounding cities and even states are arriving with donations, money, and volunteering to help.   At this time, law enforcement and the National Guard still have the disaster area contained and only those with property can enter the area.    Local churches have become safe havens.   The Cleveland County Fairgrounds in Norman is a make-shift shelter for displaced animals.    Both OK Baptist University and Oklahoma University have opened vacant dorms to displaced residents.  Local residents are opening their homes.   While we feel the urgent need to, "do something," our work right now is to stay out of the way, at the request of law enforcement.   In the days and weeks to come, loved ones will be laid to rest.   Debris will be removed.   Lost items will be catalogued and the owners will try to be contacted.   The Jaycee efforts will continue in the days and weeks to follow, when we are no longer in the National spotlight. 
 
At this time, we recommend making donations to the Red Cross in the name, OKLAHOMA RELIEF. 

If you would like to make a donation straight to the OKC Jaycees, we will be locating lists of needs and trying to fill those requests.   You may transfer money to us via PayPal: OKC.Jaycee.Donations@Gmail.com (this E-mail is for payment only, and is rarely monitored).    

In the wake of this tragedy, we urge you to contact local congressmen, representatives, and senators.  Let them know, WE NEED TORNADO SHELTERS IN OUR SCHOOLS.   There is no debate.  This is the third tornado to hit Moore in the last 15 years.    OK State Education Commitee Members can be found here: http://www.oksenate.gov/Committees/standingcommittees.aspx  other OK State members can be found here: http://www.oklegislature.gov/
