Arkoma, Oklahoma – April 5, 2022: The Arkoma Emergency Auxiliary Foundation has announced they are hosting a special Fundraiser Spaghetti Dinner and Pie Auction event to be held Friday April 15th from 5:00 PM until 7:30 PM. The fundraising event will be held at the Singleton Elementary School Cafeteria located at 622 Cook St, in Arkoma, OK.
“In recent years, the siren system has developed multiple serious mechanical and radio system related issues that the Town of Arkoma simply does not have the funds to repair.” According to Bobby Parker, Emergency Management Director for the Town ofArkoma. “We are down to two or three sirens out of eight that are reliable. With severe weather season already upon us and deadly tornadoes already occurring across the
region, the need to raise money to perform even minimum repairs on the system is literally a Life and Death situation.” according to Director Parker.
The fundraising event will feature Food Provided by Betty Jeans Diner of Arkoma, Entertainment provided by Tim Wilson of the band Underdog and Friends, a pie auction of delicious, donated deserts and treats, and a Silent Auction of several items and services from local individuals and businesses.
Tickets are available for a $10 donation and may be obtained from any AEA Foundation Board Member or by going to www.aeafoundation.net or
