Nicole Landrum (at the speaker's stand) discussed Home Schooling ... while three representatives of Tulsa Habitat For Humanity (seated in the fore ground waited their turn to address the Chamber meeting).

Melissa Carlson is the Collinsville Chamber of Commerce's manager.

Nicole Landrum described the "clasical model" of teaching how to learn used by "Clasical Conversitions" which provides resouces for local home schooling parents and students. (www.owassoccsouthwest.com). She also made suggestions for ways local businesses could team up with local home schoolers to benefit both the learning experience and the business.
Representatives of the Tulsa Habitat for Humanity explained their organization has provided reduced cost houses for 327 qualified buyers since 1988 (mostly in Tulsa). They have just recently started branching out to other Tulsa County Communities and hope to start construction in September 2015 for their first Collinsville buyer. The homes are not free ... the 0% loan must be repaid and the perspective buyers must compete training and participate in the building process. They also seek donations locally to help reduce the initial cost of the home to the buyer. Local volunteers are also sought to help with the building project. The Collinsville home will be at 801 N. 9th Street on a property donated by Harbor Church. (www.tulsahabitat,org)
