| Library Gathers Cards for Heroes |
|
The Collinsville
Library will be collecting Christmas cards for the “Holiday for
Heroes” program. Oklahoma State Representative, Joe Dorman started
collecting the cards to ensure Oklahomans that want to send holiday
greetings to recovering soldiers are able to do so.
“Please do not believe the e-mail that is circulating that encourages people to send a card directly to an anonymous soldier. Sending cards in that manner will not be delivered. The e-mail is either a hoax or the good intentions of someone who doesn’t know what they are talking about,” said Dorman, D-Rush Springs, according to a press release on his Web site: http://www.joedorman.com/pressreleases.htm.
This is a wonderful way to show your support to our brave service men and women. You can bring your own already addressed holiday cards to the Collinsville Library for mailing or, the library has cards available you can address. Cards need to be returned to the library before Thursday, December 5.
Please follow the guidelines below in order for your card to be delivered promptly. · Cards can be addressed to “Dear Service Member” or a specific recovering individual at Fort Sill. · Make sure your card is signed · Do not send letters · Do not include your email or home address · Do not include inserts of any kind, including photos · Do not use glitter
The holiday season is a great time to show our troops how much we care and support their service to our great country. The Collinsville Library is also a drop off site for the Tri-County Blue Star Mothers. For a list of items to donate to this program, visit their Web site: www.tricountybluestarmothers.com/. For more information about this program, please call the Collinsville Library at (918) 549-7528. Submitted by, |

| Claremore Attorney
Wade Fathree has both prosecuted and defended clients (including juveniles)
in Mayes and Craig Counties. In hopes that these Collinsville Middle School
students would never find themselves in that position, he explained the
juvenile justice system to them. He also explained that in certain more
serious crimes that juveniles would be moved into the adult criminal system.
He explained differences between misdomeanors and felonies and the more
serious life long consequences of being a felon. He explained that drug
cases were the most frequent he had dealt with with youth but they were
many other types of crimes also. He expressed hope for alternative (drug
court) treatment plans. Mrs. Rowden explained that her class had held a mock court and discussed several legal topics before his presentation Nov. 12th. |
