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!

Yellow House Cleanup Event Saturday, April 7th, 2007
On Saturday, April 7th

in the restoration and repairs of this wonderful
house. There is a need of dumpsters on site and
volunteers. If anyone could lend a dumpster or
volunteer contact Randy Dittman at

2007 CHAMBER DINNER MEETING A SUCCESS!
Southwest Tulsa Chamber of Commerce's annual
dinner was a great success this year. Approximately
70 were in attendance. Richard Ryan presented the
Chamber with a Plan of Works and Budget for 2007.
Our guest speaker, Sharon King Davis gave a
uplifting speech in which she urged all to be proud
Oklahomans, proud Tulsans and proud to be part of
West Tulsa. Laughter rang out when she mentioned
that Gene Griffith (local undertaker) approached her
and said "I came here just for you." We would like
to give a special thanks to this years dinner
committee members Judy Ryan and Jeanie Cue. We look
forward to next years dinner which we know will be
even more successful
