Last trip before WalkAmerica Weekend ~ Oklahoma City, OK
Wow - it has been quite a week in the world...Zeek and Betty took their final trip before WalkAmerica and headed out to Oklahoma City, OK!! We had a phenomenal reception, and a fantastic week. The weather was beautiful for the first time :). There were many appointments, each one more exciting than the next! Thank you Oklahoma chapter for being so wonderful!! We wish you the best for your Walk!
The 2007 National Ambassador Family (Betty & Zeek) are welcomed to town by the 2007 Local WalkAmerica Ambassador, Brooke, and her family...that is a lot of 'older brother' going on?
We had an early morning wake up with a mini radio tour...first stop, News Radio 1000 KTOK
...then we were off to 96.1 KXY...
and finally a great stop at 101.9, Twister!!
Then we headed to the State Capital and had a proclamation reading with members of the Supreme Court and Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Members
Zeek was also presented a very grande token from the brothers (the highlight of his day :)
And we had a tour of the House Chambers with the Speaker of the House...
...and Zeek was then presented on the floor of the House (with Rep. Shelton) and had a resolution cited by a local representative
Before the day was over it was one more interview at News 9!!!
Breakfast with Farmer's Insurance at their National Call Center location
Zeek picks the big winner for one of the raffles!!!
Then we stopped at Columbus Elementary Enterprise School where students put on quite a show and presented the March of Dimes with a check for WalkAmerica
We ended our day at a Faith Community "Building Partnerships for Change" Forum...
...it was a very successful week...and now we are off to Walk in Raleigh, NC and then Philadelphia, PA! We hope to see lots of you out there walking!!!
