Silent Auction has several Tom Spence Titles

What do a family care center and a western Oklahoma author have in common?

Books!

Tonight is the Western Oklahoma Family Care Center Annual Fundraiser at the Civic Center in Elk City, Oklahoma and the silent auction begins at 6:00 p.m.  There will be several books authored by Tom Spence available to the highest bidder.

But I can just one-click on Amazon if I want a book, why should I go to this dinner?  Because all proceeds go to support the Western Oklahoma Family Care Center.  This is a small place that does great things for the least of these brothers and sisters among us.

Come buy a book.  Pay a little more than you would on Amazon or Barnes and Noble.  Get it signed by Tom.  Know that you helped others a little less fortunate who live nearby.

I can’t make it, but I would like to donate.  Follow this link…

Anything else that I can do to help?  If you use Amazon, then choose the WOFCC on Amazon Smile.
What is the return on my investment?  The WOFCC currently renders $1.50 worth of services for every $1 donated.

Does the fundraiser banquet have a theme?  Yes, this year it is Unsung Heroes.

Admission is $30 at the door.  Come and enjoy and perhaps take home a book by Tom Spence.

You might be a grunt if...

I have published this in many places, but thought now would be a good time to put it forth once more. GRUNT A few years ago, Jeff Foxworthy had some fun with a cultural background he simply classified as redneck.  Having spent 20 years in the Marine  Infantry, I offer a similar perspective on that calling simply know as grunt . You might be a grunt if… You can't make sense of any of the abbreviations used by the New York  Stock Exchange, but know by heart the trading value of every component of a C-Ration  or MRE . When buying a new house, your first examine fields of fire and dead space in the front yard. Within two hours of moving into a new home, you post a fire plan sketch in the kitchen, master bedroom, and forward one to the commanding officer of your new duty station. During a chance encounter with homeless people, you find yourself leading the discussion on the insulation value of cardboard. You still carry a John Wayne ...
