Here s a great opportunity to help those children who have been identified for free or reduced lunches have snacks on the weekend.
This project idea is the brain child of a child herself. Markaila McCarkle chose this as her project for Jr. Teen Oklahoma Regency International Pageant. Her idea was to help reduce weekend hunger.
Markaila and her mother, Lawton City Councilwoman Onreka Johnson submitted a grant for 200 backpacks and was approved! Now they are looking for snacks to fill these backpacks. Their hope is that they can continue this project throughout the Summer at least two weekends a month.
Tuesday, February 9, Lawton Fort Sill Voters will go to the polls to answer one question only. Whether or not to renew the Hotel Motel Tax with it s proposed increase.
It is important to know that the Hotel Motel Tax is not aimed at citizens of Lawton/Fort Sill, rather to visitors that come to our community and stay at one of our hotels. They could be visiting family for the holidays, or for a tourism event, or just a weekend getaway to visit the Wichita Mountains or the Holy City and Medicine Park. Whatever the reason, there are reasons why this tax is so important to Lawton/Fort Sill
