Chamber House and Transportation Village are progressing very well, considering red tape and other normal obstacles. July 25, 2009

Yellow House no longer yellow...
Rugby Teams sweep through
Cleanup Event
Saturday, April 7th, 2007
Project taskmaster Randy Dittmann gathered some of the Toughest Tulsans together on Saturday to begin the first rough cleanup of the community's new office building. Rugby teams from the University of Tulsa, Tulsa Rugby Team, Bixby Rugby Team and Jenks Rugby Team joined some of the Southwest Tulsa Chamber members in removing all of the insides of the main house and three adjoining properties. They removed items, wall paneling, carpets, siding, and yes... even the kitchen sink. Sandy Dittmann was observed hauling the sink across the yard to the dump pile.

Randy and Sandy provided hot dogs for about 60 hungry workers, courtesy of Cedar Rock Inn. We accomplished some major steps toward our goal of having an office complex in the old yellow house. Thanks to everyone involved!
