From the Mayor-
OPERATION CHOCTAW CARES
We have troops overseas fighting and supporting our country and I’ll be honest… the troops have been weighing heavy on my mind lately.
Right now, they need our support, not opinions, not debates……………just support!
I know it’s always nice to receive items even things we tend to take for granted while home, so I am starting Operation Choctaw Cares for the month of April.
This will be to collect the items listed below and as much as we can to send to our troops right here at Tinker and ultimately overseas.
You can drop items off at:
- Choctaw City Hall 8-4:30 M-Th, 8-11 F
- Choctaw Area Chamber of Commerce 8-4 M-F
I am also coordinating with Tinker senior leadership to make sure these items get directly into the hands of our deployed heroes
Immediate needs include (provided by AF):
- Hand soap
- Bar soap (Dove, Irish Spring, etc.)
- Hand sanitizer
- Deodorant
- Body lotion
- Powdered laundry detergent
- Female hygiene products (pads, tampons, wipes)
- Towels, loofahs, shower shoes
- Sunscreen
- Shampoo and conditioner
- Body wipes & face wipes
- Floss & toothpaste
- Instant or ground coffee
- Jerky, snacks, gum, candy
- Board games, card games, decks of cards
- Powdered drink mixes / energy packets (Mio, etc.)
- Liquid IV / electrolyte packets
- Energy / protein bars
It doesn’t have to be anything big. Even something small can make a difference on a long day far from home.
I was with the 31st MEU in 2004. I’ve seen what it means when something from home shows up—it sticks with you. It reminds you you’re not alone.
No matter where you stand on anything else… I hope we can come together on this.
Let’s please come together and collect as much as we can to send over! I will be working directly with contacts on base to ensure timing on shipping.
Thank you for your support to our heroes! Let’s do this Choctaw!!!!’
⭐️ If you are a business that would like to be a collection point please send me a message.

Summer Music Series??? Would you attend?
When we asked for bands for Friday Nights in the Park, we had an amazing response—so many bands wanted to play that not everyone made the schedule! We would like to give up-and-coming/ garage bands a place to perform, but we need to know if the community would attend.
If there’s interest, we’re considering having bands play on the Farmers Market stage at Choctaw Creek Park one Saturday evening each month (June–August), plus an all-day Music Showcase in September!
We would like feedback from Adults AND Teens!

The Easter scramble for the kiddos is this Saturday… BUT!
We’re adding a fun twist next week and hiding a few of these out in the parks just for the kids of 1976! (Okay, for anyone that can find them)

More info next week!
Thank you, Easter Bunny! Bawk, Bawk!
