NEXT ATOMS MEETING

Sunday, August 21, 2016 from 2:30 P.M. till 4:00 P.M.

St Stephens Presbyterian Church

2424 NW 50th  (NW 50th & Villa)

The plan to have Dr. Reyna as the speaker has fallen through, as a result we will have an open discussion.

This Saturday from 9-2 the No Boundaries Expo will have several medical companies and exhibitors at the State Fair Grounds in the Oklahoma Expo Hall.  It is free and well worth going out and checking out some of the things available.

We should be hearing more about our Oct 14-16th Get Away Weekend at Post Oak Lodge in Tulsa so keep an eye on your mail.

Don’t forget that Bike MS is the weekend of Sept 24-25 starting in Norman and at OMRF.  Bikers will stay overnight in Guthrie then finish up on Sunday at the OSU stadium in Stillwater. Volunteers are always needed.
