An article about these classes will appear in the City Life newsletter, which will be mailed out with City of Tulsa May utility bills. This cancellation was not known at the time of publication, and residents should disregard the information about these classes. For more information about Citizen CPR classes, visit www.tulsacpr.com.
Blood Donations Needed
Healthy Tulsans are being asked to donate blood, as the State of Oklahoma is facing the most critical blood shortage it’s ever faced. Oklahoma Blood Institute (OBI) has lost more than a month’s worth of blood collection due to the pandemic. Residents can make an appointment with OBI by visiting www.OBI.org. Residents can make a donation appointment with the American Red Cross at www.redcrossblood.org.
Tulsa County Update
Last Friday, Board of County Commissioners Chairman Ron Peters reached out to every city in the County regarding the federal CARES funding that Tulsa County received with an invitation to work with the County on requesting potential funding.
The Courthouse officially re-opened to the public Tuesday, May 5. The County reminds everyone to conduct business electronically or over the phone whenever possible. The District Courts are closed through May 15, so if you need to enter the courthouse the County encourages you to wear a mask. Visitors will see new signage and floor stickers throughout the building of proper social distancing and hand hygiene protocols. Following the opening of LaFortune and South Lakes Golf Courses and Grills on Friday, as well as the Case Tennis Center at LaFortune, nearly every visitor is adhering to the new social distancing guidelines. The grills at both golf courses continue to be open for take-out.
The County Parks department continues to evaluate the phased opening of County recreation centers, aquatic areas, and playgrounds.
