Halito, District 4 is Ready to Welcome Spring!
As we are having warmer weather, sunshine, and the blooming flowers, it’s a perfect time for gardening and spending time outdoors. Let’s enjoy all that Spring has to offer in District 4!
The recent groundbreaking for the new Dale Cox Community Center was a memorable occasion for all. Family and friends gathered to honor the legacy of Dale Cox, whose contributions continue to inspire us all. This 10,530-square-foot facility is a much-needed space for activities and events, and it promises to bring the community closer together. Construction has begun and we can hardly wait for the new facility.
In February, Marcella Wilmar celebrated her 100th birthday. Her remarkable milestone is an inspiration to us all. When I asked her the secret to a long life, she shared this simple but powerful advice: “Be kind to everyone, every day.”
At the February council meeting, Wanda James was honored as a Choctaw language speaker, and JB Adams was recognized as our Veteran of the Month.
The LeFlore County premium sale is always an exciting event. Our youth showcase the animals they’ve worked hard to raise, demonstrating dedication and commitment. Congratulations to all the young participants for their efforts and success!
March also brought us the joy of Read Across America. This annual event is something I look forward to every year, as our children’s energy and enthusiasm fill the room. It’s always a pleasure to read to them and share in the excitement of this special day.
In senior news, the Spiro Seniors recently enjoyed a trip to Branson, where they experienced great shows, delicious food, and camaraderie. Meanwhile, Poteau Seniors are planning a trip to New Mexico, and they continue their First Friday Taco Sale each month.
It’s truly a privilege to serve District 4. If you ever need assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
God Bless,
Jess Henry
