Volunteer

We are really going to need some help on the reunion next year. We were so fortunate to have the Checotah folks setup a great event for us last time. The Katy Depot, Carr Memorial Foundation, the Carr Family, Checotah Chamber of Commerce and many others made it all happen.

Well this time around we will not have that support. It will require a few of you to step up and help. I will add jobs as they come up. If there is something you can help with or add let me know. Thanks ahead for your help and I look forward to seeing everyone next year in South Carolina.
