Benefit for Deep Fork Community Action Foundation June 12

A Vintage Murder
6/12/2004
A night of fun for all, with suspects around every corner and a meal 'to die for', a silent auction and wine-tasting. Event is to benefit Deep Fork Community Action Foundation.

The event will be held June 12 at 7pm at the Natura Vineyards & Winery, located 4 miles east of Beggs on SH 16. Proceeds benefit the working poor and needy families of Okmulgee County.
Tickets are $25/person or $40/couple. Tickets go on sale May 1. For more information, call (918) 756-2826.

This group does a lot of good around Green Country. One thing they do is arrange low down payment loans to help poor folks buy homes. The program is like a local version of Habitats for Humanity; you still pay for the house but they negotiate easier terms by letting the owners do some of the construction work. They helped my family get a roof over our heads when my son was ill and times were tough. I hope everyone turns out to support them.
