Subject: [OK-ORPHANAGES] Heritage Day Rally Oklahoma State Capitol
Date: Thu, 06 Mar 2003 19:39:13 -0700

Dear Fellow Genealogists,
You are invited to a Heritage Day Rally at the Oklahoma State
Capitol on Tuesday, March 11. Sponsored by the Oklahoma Historical
Society and a
coalition of Oklahoma historical, genealogical and lineage organizations
to show appreciation for our history and support for the preservation of
that
history, the day will begin at 10:00 a.m. at the auditorium of the Wiley
Post Building of the Oklahoma Historical Society at 2100 N. Lincoln,
Oklahoma
City. After receiving details about the legislation needed, the
attendees will proceed to the Capitol to speak with their legislators
about the importance
of completing the funding for the new Oklahoma History Center by
authorizing the sale of the final $18 million in bonds needed to
complete the project.
Attendees will have the opportunity to tour the newly reopened
Research Library and also to take a "hard hat" tour of the new History
Center site.
The OHS parking lot will be reserved for your convenience and shuttle
vans will be available to move you around once you are parked. All
three
venues -- lobbying at the Capitol, the Library tour and the hard hat
tour -- will be available beginning at 10:00 a.m. and continue until 3
p.m.
We hope you can join us at the rally and encourage you to invite
others who believe in the future of Oklahoma and who have an interest in
her
past. If you cannot be there, you can still support the effort by
writing, calling or e-mailing your legislators to urge their support.
For more information,
please call the Oklahoma Historical Society at 405-521-2491. We hope to
see you there.

Sincerely,
Oklahoma Genealogical Society Board of Directors
P.O. Box 12986
Oklahoma City, OK 73157
Billie Fogarty, President
