Our Endowment is now in place!
We have an endowment at the Oklahoma Communities Foundation. Because of their program for new organizational endowments, we were able to immediately increase the amount of our fund by 50%. When we deposited $10,000, the Oklahoma Community Foundation matched our funds with $5,000. We are so excited about our endowment and invite you to participate by contributing. The interest from this fund will, at present, be rolled back into the endowment. When the fund is large enough, we will use the interest to pay for organizational expenses. Thank you OCF!
THANK YOU Norman Community Foundation
Thunderbird Clubhouse has recieved a $750 grant to expand our dental and eyeglass load program. Through this program, Clubhouse members may borrow money to purchase eyeglasses and exams or dental work. They then pay the load back in small payements. This enables members to move toward work-readiness or simply take care of these basic needs. Thank you to NCF!
Groundbreaking a Success
With a crowd of about 150 supporters, the Thunderbird Clubhouse Board of Directors, wearing hardhats and wielding shovels, took the first step toward the construction of a new Clubhouse facility. Steve and Barbara Owens spoke first, thanking contributors including Sarkeys Foundation, the Kerr Foundation, Hal and Sandy Smith, the Cleveland County Bar Foundation, Cindy and Blake Virgin, Candy and Dan Rowe, Pete Wilson and Shelley Pitt and many more.
The new Clubhouse will be approximately 6,000 square feet and house a commercial kitchen, work spaces, conference room and computer lab. Clubhouse members are eager to see the new facility become a reality. Questions? Call Pam Sanford, Director at 620-3726.
