In 1985, the Leadership Midwest City class sought to create an event that would bring citizens together to support local restaurants and their local community. In that endeavor, Taste of Midwest City was born and has continued to grow into a much anticipated, fun, interactive, and philanthropic event.

Like everything else, the pandemic caused a break in this yearly event, but the 2023 Leadership Midwest City class is ready to bring it back bigger and better than ever.

We invite you to join us and help our community REDISCOVER the Taste of Midwest City on Tuesday, April 18th at the Reed Conference Center.

All of the proceeds raised through ticket sales and silent auction will benefit local Midwest City nonprofits. The Leadership Midwest City Class of 2023 is excited to bring this popular event back to our community.

What is the Taste of Midwest City? Taste of Midwest City is a family-oriented fundraiser that features an all-you-can-eat buffet of MWC and local restaurants that is sure to please everyone. There is also a silent auction filled with donations from local businesses. The funds raised at Taste of Midwest City are then reinvested into local charities.

Note: Free admission for children 5 and under

DRS Visual Services invites you to celebrate White Cane Safety Day October 15. We will have cards for participants to hand out during a walk in the downtown area. Graphic: Traffic signal with stick figures using white cane with red tip over photo of downtown OKC. Come take part at 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., October 15, 2019, at Ronald J. Norick Downtown Library, 300 Park Avenue, Oklahoma City.

Whether it's for employment or independence Oklahomans deserve access for all. This year starting at 11 am on Tuesday, March 12, 2019 at the state Capitol, we are asking people with disabilities, friends, families and Legislators to be front and center when it comes to disability initiatives. Together we can bring an end to access-related barriers for people with disabilities.

This event is an opportunity to engage lawmakers and help them understand what programs are vital to reach these goals.

You have a better chance of talking to your Legislator in person if you call to make an appointment at least two weeks before Awareness Day. Find out who your Legislators are at https://go.usa.gov/xRtqC.

Or call to make an appointment: Senate: 405-524-0126 or House of Representatives: 800-522-8502.

Remember: the Legislator's job is to be in committee meetings or on the floor of the Senate or House of Representatives when state business is being conducted. If your Legislator is not in the office, please give your message to the staff. Legislators depend heavily on their staff and often receive information this way.
