Update January 17, 2026: Our building has received much needed repairs and renovations. The porch and access ramp have been completed, fully functional and beautiful to behold! We were blessed with a Choctaw Development Fund grant to renovate the front porch to accommodate the access ramp. A bit more paint and touch up on the porch and bathroom necessities and it will be completed. 
THANK YOU to members who have donated over $10,000 in labor, materials and funds to these efforts!
