fun for me. For those of you wondering, serving on the city center council is a volunteer position. Tulsa was blessed with such a driven team that truly cared for what we could offer Tulsa and how we can make a difference. This team took the time out of their busy personal and work lives to serve our community, and to me, that is the most selfless act someone can do for their community.
This year alone, we offered a summer kick-off happy hour social, 2 project tours, 10 CEUs, a Halloween party, an Oklahoma Government Representative event
