Lisa Rock!

Good morning, dear Global Oklahoma Coordinating Committee:

Wow.  It was the best ever!   What a fantastic day at Rose State College.  The campus was truly a global village from one end to the other with the glorious weather and the sights and sounds of Irish music and Japanese drumming, to Edgar Cruz and Kyle Dillingham and the Ridgecrest Glee Club, to the smiles and laughter of the children and families, the smell of Irish stew and Mexican tacos, to the limericks and the Duck Pond. And on to Fernando Padilla and his beautiful art creations, the Boy Scouts, student clubs, the Italians of Central Oklahoma, the Scandinavian Club, Tuskegee Airmen, and Zonta International, the Scavenger Hunt, Hurling, the Ireland featured tent, the youth art, sword-fighting and the doves of peace…Global Oklahoma 2010 was an amazing and fun day at Rose State College.  More than 3,500-4,000 individuals were involved as guests, volunteers, entertainers, exhibitors and food vendors.

It was through your efforts that this was possible!

Sure we had our competition, the OU-Texas Game, Las Americas in Capitol Hill, The Bluegrass Festival in Guthrie, the Czech Festival in Yukon, but in WE had it all…..a global experience.   Rose State College was the place to be on Saturday!

We now turn our attention to the many thank you letters we send to thank those involved and ask them to help us evaluate all areas of the festival, and then we will have a wrap up meeting in October after we have a chance for the evaluations to come in, and gather some photos.  On the meeting day, let’s all wear our awesome shirts and beads!

My sincere personal thanks for all you did to make this year’s Global Oklahoma a fantastic Irish Ceili and one for the record books.
