Look at us we Zoomed due to the crazy weather… The Rise & Thrive OSJ Radio Hour this Saturday on FREEDOM 96.9 Oklahoma Talk Radio! You can do the same for whatever reason be on The OSJ Radio Show through Zoom! Rebekah Williams is in the center and Ruth Rolfe is on the right in the zoom picture.
Saturday Show is on Senior Day at the State Capital on March 3rd starting at 8:30am on the second floor rotunda! This year’s theme is, “ Let Your Voice be Heard!”The Oklahoma Senior Journal has been a sponsor of senior day at the state capital for double digit years.
This is a surefire way we can get your legislators to listen- get in front of them instead of just writing letters and making calls. There will be snacks and refreshments and information tables on the second floor rotunda. You will also be able to all sit down in the Senate house with the rest of attendees!
Our very first question out of the shoot is: why is Senior Day at the State Capital so important?? Listen in to learn.
