Two New Members
Join This Month
We welcome the following new members to the Emeriti Association: Kermit and Fran Bowling.

2-1-1 Service Begins
On April 1
It's here! Payne County has now joined the rest of the state with access to 2-1-1 service. 2-1-1 is the number you dial to get connected to community programs that can help you with everyday health and human service needs- much like you call 9-1-1 to get connected to the police and the fire department in an emergency. 2-1-1 is free, confidential and available 24/7/365.

2-1-1 is the number to call "when you don't know who to call." Specially trained operators will connect you to the right place in the first place.
