TCB CHRISTMAS PARTY

Tulsa Council of the Blind Christmas Party 2018

TCB members and friends gathered at members Charley and Ruthie Tipps home in
Tulsa on Saturday afternoon December 15th for our Christmas party.

The group numbered 18 in all! We ate first, one of our favorite things to
do! As we were finishing up eating, we were surprised by a group of carolers
from a nearby church who were friends of Ruthie's. This was a very pleasant
surprise and the group sang some really nice Christmas carols!

Next came the Dirty Santa/White Elephant gift exchange game. A couple of
very desirable musical gifts were stolen quite a few times!

Attendees had a good time visiting with each other and listening to some
good music! Thanks to the Tipps for inviting us to their home for this time
of fellowship and fun! Can't wait til next year!

March Meeting

Hello all!

This is a reminder that the March TCB meeting is this coming Monday, March 12. We will be meeting at our new regular meeting place, Mazzio’s Pizza in the Farm Shopping Center at 5119 S Sheridan Road. If you plan to eat with us before the meeting, please try to be there by 5:30 pm. The meeting will begin at 6 pm and we will be finished no later than 7:30 pm.

Please remember that if you are going to do the pizza and pop deal, you will need to pay when you come into the restaurant. You will be given a cup for your drink and the pizza will be brought into the meeting room for us. You can also order other food items instead of doing the pizza and pop deal.

We discussed at the February meeting the possibility of taking Easter items to the St. Francis Children’s Hospital for the kids who have to be in the hospital during Easter. Jeri and I will be picking up some items from a dollar store and we will meet a day or 2 before Easter to put them together in bagts or baskets. We will let you know where we will be meeting to do this project soon so you can participate if you are able to help out.

I will be sending out an agenda soon so be sure to look it over and be ready to discuss all the fun things we are going to be doing this year! Let’s make a difference!

See you on Monday!

Julie Bailey
TCB President

February Meeting


Hello to all!

The new meeting place has been decided on by the Board beginning this month. Our first meeting will be at Mazzio’s Pizza, located in the Farm Shopping Center at 5119 S Sheridan Road in Tulsa.

We also have a new meeting night – we will be meeting on the second Monday of each month. Our first meeting will be next Monday on February 12.

We have once again been given the opportunity to do the pizza and pop deal. This includes all you can eat pizza and pop for a cost of $7. You can add a salad to it for a total of $9. Of course, you can order other items if you want, such as pasta, sandwiches, and salad. When you arrive at the Mazzio’s, please go directly to the counter and let them know that you are a part of the Tulsa Council of the Blind and what you are paying for. Then, after you order and pay, you can go to the meeting room. We are going to be in the same room as before. After entering and ordering, there is a ramp you can use to go up to the upper level of the restaurant. There are no steps to enter the meeting room.

Our meeting time is the same as before – we will meet between 5 and 5:30 if you are going to eat. The meeting will begin at 6 pm and end no later than 7:30 pm

Put on your thinking caps as we will be deciding what we are going to do for the year. We need your ideas and input, so please come!

If you have questions, please call or email me.

TCB President

JANUARY MEETING!

This is an FYI to all…

The Board has decided that due to the holidays and busy schedules, we are going to skip the January meeting. When a list of possible meeting places has been put together, it will be sent out to all members in order to get a concensus on where we will meet beginning in February. For the time being, Monday night has been decided on for our meetings, and we will probably go with the second Monday of each month. If it is determined that we need to meet on a different night after a couple of months of trying out Monday, we can change it.

Hope all are doing well, and we will see you in February!

Julie Bailey
TCB President
