Rise to the Challenge
Total Resource Campaign
Mickey Thompson announces Roger Flippo with Flippo Insurance as Chairman of the Chamber’s
first annual Total Resource Campaign. This 8-week revenue generating effort kicks off on September 23, 2008 and
will end by November 18, 2008. The Total Resource Campaign will create more than 15 teams of volunteers under the leadership of three Vice Chairs:
Rapheal Jacob, Miracle in the Womb; LaTonya Cundiff, SpiritBank; LaTaunya Williams, Arkansas Valley State Bank.
These Vice Chairs recruit volunteers to market sponsorships to Chamber events and publications,
while also seeking new members for the Chamber. The all-volunteer Campaign consists of more than 300 sponsorships available during the Campaign.
Volunteers assist companies with choosing options best suited to meet the organization’s marketing needs.
“The TRC offers excellent exposure for companies both at the Chamber’s events and
within our signature publications,” said Charles Buxton, Chairman of Board. Teams are currently forming for the campaign.
“The Campaign is a great way for volunteers to meet our area’s top community leaders
and business owners while working directly with many of the Chamber’s most dedicated leadership,” suggested Roger Flippo “so call
Kathy Reynolds, the Chamber’s Vice President of Programs at 251-1518 to take advantage of this great opportunity to get
involved.”

Mexican Folklorico Dancers Bring Culture To Broken Arrow It’s time once again for the Encore Series, brought to you by the Broken Arrow Arts and Humanities Council. This year’s
line-up is guaranteed to excite and inform patrons as three unique acts will take the stage in Broken Arrow.
The season kicks off on September 9 with the cultural phenomenon Norahua Mexican
Folklorico Dancers of Oklahoma. The season continues on December 4 when the Four Freshmen bring their classic ‘50s sound to the stage for a
great Christmas show. And the season concludes next year on May 16 with the big band sounds of The Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra. All shows will be held at
North Intermediate High School Auditorium in Broken Arrow.
Tickets are $15 and are available August 19 at all four Arkansas Valley State Bank locations—downtown Broken Arrow, 121st & Elm in BA,
51st & Mingo in Tulsa and the newest location next to Bass Pro Shop in BA—and Arrow Flowers at 213 South Main in downtown Broken Arrow. Season
passes to all three concerts are also available for only $40. Members of the BA Arts Council receive a 2-for-1 special on both regular tickets and
season passes.
Sponsors for the 2008-2009 Encore Series season include the Oklahoma Arts Council, National Endowment for the Arts,
Windstream Communications, Arkansas Valley State Bank and Public Service Company of Oklahoma.
