Big news in Bartlesville, OK. Extreme Home Makeover is in town this week and Oklahoma Wesleyan University is center stage. OKWU donated FIVE full-ride scholarships! They’re featured on the donor-page on the home builder’s website: extremesimmons.com
The family they are helping is a pastor’s family. The pastor passed away back in April and left his wife and 10 children (5 still at home) pretty much homeless. They gathered enough money to purchase a plot of land and two trailers. Extreme Home Makeover is obviously going to change their lives!
Some great OKWU information is here. As well as a daily journal from their perspective!
A news article from an Oklahoma news station is here.
Kory also forwarded the memo from Dr. Everett Piper – OKWU’s president – that he sent to all the faculty. That is in .pdf format and can be downloaded here (19k).
