As we embark on Memorial Day weekend remember this is a time for Americans to celebrate and honor the brave men and women who sacrificed everything for our freedom. We need to give thanks for the men and women, both at home and overseas, who have selflessly dedicated their lives to protect our liberty. Our veterans and active military personnel have overcome seemingly impossible odds and accomplished extraordinary things, and we can all learn from their incredible courage. Let us be grateful for their acts of bravery and remember our own commitment to live and serve with passion, joy and enthusiasm. Today and every day we should be grateful to those who sacrifice their lives to keep us safe. We are thankful that Oklahoma is our home and thankful for the great people of our state.

The RED TEAM wishes you and your family a blessed and safe holiday! Celebrate your freedoms this Memorial Day!

We have been given information that the Oklahoma Housing Finance Agency is giving $2000 grants to those affected by tornado with no income limit attached to the grant. You must have a FEMA number.  The money is to be used for hotel cost, utility deposits, first month rent , etc. Contact 419-8196.  Feel free to forward to anyone you know that has been affected.

The RED Team has been praying for all the people effected by this storm.

Just a reminder from The RED Team!

With a few helpful tips on routine home maintenance, you can protect your assets,  avoid costly repairs and keep those headaches to a minimum!

• Check and/or clean air conditioners and  room fans.

• Test for a leaking toilet by adding a  couple drops of red food coloring to the tank. If the water inside the bowl turns red, there is a leak.

• Remove lint from the dryer to prevent fires resulting from a clogged exhaust.

• Refrigerator doors should be sealed  tight. To make sure, place a piece of paper at the door and close it. If the  paper is easily pulled out, the rubber lining gasket needs replacement.

• Replace the batteries in smoke detectors  and carbon monoxide detectors at least twice a year.

While routine  maintenance can minimize costly repairs in the future, some mechanical systems  and appliances can and often do break down due to normal wear and tear.
