Are you a member of the Tulsa County Cellers Club!

And I am not talking about a wine tasting club!  The Tulsa County Court House basement where the jury pool sits and waits to to be called up for jury selection was originally built as a storm shelter, "hence celler".

I did my civic duty by serving jury duty this week!  What a wonderful place to network!
I made sure to take lots of business cards to pass out.  There were people from all walks of life to talk to.  I also had the pleasure of meeting Julie Chin and having lunch with her, what a charming person she is!

I seem to get selected to serve jury duty every 3 to 5 years and it amazes me how many people say it is their first time and then you talk to many people out there that have never been selected!  How does that work!  I took things to read, my ipod and my ipad!  They do let you have your phones too, just have to turn them off in the courtrooms,  of Course!

All in all, it was a good experience!  And I met alot of nice people.  So remember, use it to your advantage for the networking while doing your civic duty!    Who ever knew jury duty could be so much fun!

No April Fooling!

Welcome to my first blogging!
I went to a continuing education class last week for my insurance and the topic was about the recent hail storms that we have had in our area and how to go about picking a roofing contractor.

April is the worst month for hail storms and Tulsa and Oklahoma city are the two hardest hip cities in the US!

I fell prey to the storm chasers when we had the hail storm in April 8th, 2008. they blew in to town and made a huge marketing splash with the bill boards and the wrapped trucks looking all good and special. but when the ice storm of 2009 hit and I had ice damming going on and I could not find hide nor hair of the roofers that were suppose to be there for me when I needed maintenance!

I walked away from this class with a hand out that I would like to pass on to you so you do not fall for the fly by night roofers! Also I can give you a list of local roofing companies that I recommend.

Call, text or email me and I will send you this information that will help you choose any contractor.

Happy April!
