“Operation Boomer Sooner” – This Friday


With the recent tragedies and damages associated with tornados in Oklahoma, a group of Clarksvillians have come together to provide aid to the victims. This group has coined their effort “Operation Boomer Sooner”.  The group is volunteering to take multiple trailer loads of much needed supplies to the Moore, Oklahoma area. This group is in contact with people on the ground in Moore and will put out a working donation list as it develops.  See the list of needed items.

Operation Boomer Sooner will be a two part operation. On June, 7, 2013 the Boomer Sooner crew will be in the parking lot of the Old Jostens Building, 1312 Highway 48/13, receiving donations from 8am to 6pm. This phase of the operation has been labeled “Load the Wagons”.  Boomer Sooner asks that all donations be packaged in a box and ready to load if at all possible.

On June 8, 2013, “the wagons” will pull out of Clarksville at approximately 3:00 AM headed west. They will drop the donations off at a designated point and return to Clarksville on the 9th.

The “Boomer Sooner’s” would like to thank Beach Oil Company for assistance with fuel cards, Mann Smith Cummings  Insurance for providing coverage for the wagon loading site as well as the Industrial Development Board and Montgomery County for their use of the loading site.
