Because of the teacher walkout and the thousands of teachers and others rallying at the Capitol, Senior Day was moved to St. Luke’s Church.
The event was a wonderful gathering of seniors, advocates, provides, and legislators, including:
| Speaker Pro Tempore Harold Wright | Majority Floor Leader Jon Echols |
| Majority Whip Terry O’Donnell | Majority Leader Mike Sanders |
| Representative Rhonda Baker | Representative Carol Bush |
| Representative Tim Downing | Representative Chris Kannady |
| Representative Ryan Martinez | Representative Pat Ownbey |
| Representative Todd Russ | Representative Kevin Wallace |
| Representative Tammy West | Several Senators made the effort to try to get away from the Capitol but were not able to because of the crowds and traffic. |
Special thanks to all of the event sponsors:
| Comfort Keepers | WellPreserved |
| OHAI | OKALA |
| Reserve National | OK Association for Home Care & Hospice |
| LeadingAge OK | OK Silver Haired Legislature |
| OK Association of Area Agencies on Aging | Cherokee Elder Care |
| Valir | AARP |
| OK Seniors Expo | OK Senior Journal |
| Alzheimer’s Association | Outreach Health Services |
| United HealthCare | OK Hospice Care |
| Ruth Tatyrek |
We are very grateful to St. Luke’s for opening their community to the seniors and advocates to be a part of a thoughtful discussion in a respectful environment in order to bring attention to the important concerns for the elderly and disabled.
