Broken Arrow Announces Major Donor Toward Clock Tower Project
Leadership Broken Arrow is proud to announce a $15,000 contribution toward the clock tower project presented from the Broken Arrow Rotary.
I know my proudest moment of work in the community will be watching
the installation of the Centennial Clock at the Farmer's Market. Watching the group of participants take on this project and see it
through to fruition has been amazing, said Russel Parker-Immediate Past Chairman, Leadership Broken Arrow.

Thank YOU Broken Arrow-221 Tickets
Sold
Broken Arrow attended the Tulsa Talons 221 strong to see the Championship Talons
win 57 to 43. Broken Arrow was highlighted throughout the night with announcements and the appearance of the Rooster with Miss Chick throwing
Rooster Days t-shirts in the crowd.
Tulsa Teachers Credit Union won the coin toss with 53 tickets sold to the
event. Bryan Bradley, Branch Manager of Eastland, participated with the Talons on the field for the toss.
The Broken Arrow High School Jazz Choir, directed by Ruiel Doonkeen, performed
the National Anthem to a “so quiet you could hear a pin drop crowd.” At halftime the Broken Arrow Mighty Mites thrilled the crowd
with a wonderful presentation of youth football.
Those who attended the football game from Broken Arrow were very proud to be
there cheering on the Talons, our students, and representing our community. “This event is one that we would like to consider doing again
and also having some other Community nights throughout the area,” commented Brenda Senter, Broken Arrow Area Chamber.
