Entertainment and Models

04/12/2024

On Saturday, March 23rd, the 2nd Annual International Fashion show was held at Three Rivers Airbnb in Muskogee. There were some amazing designs by local designers and the models did an incredible job. There were even a couple of models from Murrow. They had some really good entertainers to include an Eagle Dancer. Megan Kelley, Erika Tucker and Elvira Smith did an awesome job coordinating this event. They donated half of the proceeds from the money raised to the Murrow Pregnant Teen Program. For those of you who were unable to attend, make plans to attend next year. It is an event to remember!

The mission team of First Baptist Church of Greenwood, IN are headed home. They are an amazing group of people. They arrived on Saturday and completed a tremendous amount of work. We are so blessed! Carlile cottage looks new. They cleaned, painted, repaired ceiling fans and drains and even added a few touches of their own. Ok, some of the touches they had to paint over, but a least they had fun. One evening, they had game night with the kids. The night before they left, we had pizza.

We are truly blessed to have an amazing group from First Baptist Church of Greenwood, IN with us. They arrived on Saturday and will be with us through the week. Allen assigned everyone an area to work. Jessamyn and her adorable daughter Adelyn were assigned to the office. They have tagged merchandise, cleared out old files and did inventory counts.
Emily, Kate and Dan were on grocery duty. They bagged and dated chicken and more chicken. Then rearranged the freezers to get all the bags in there.
Allen, Dan, Rebecca, and Cori coordinated the groups to do drains, screens and window repair and painting. They cleaned, hauled trash and added shelves to the storage building.

Many thanks to MONAA for their financial donation to help fund our new Pregnant Teen Program. Muskogee Oklahoma Native American Association (MONAA) was established in December of 2018 by Michael Tarralbo, an elder from the Muskogee Native American community. He took a resolution to the City Council of Muskogee and they declared the second Monday in October as Indigenous Peoples Day in Muskogee!
The organization was established to preserve culture and language of all Native American community members. They also made it a mission to educate the community, and expose our youth to cultural practices and experiences. This mission has carried through their work in the community as they hosted Muskogee’s Indigenous Peoples Day, and hosted fundraising events to provide monetary support to organizations like the Murrow.
A quote from Madison Shoemaker, “With the organizations closing, we would like to donate a portion of our closing money to the Murrow Home because we believe strongly in their capabilities to not only provide quality care, but to provide a loving Native American family.”
