Family Day at the State Capitol Now Just One Week Away

The general public is cordially invited to attend Family Day at the State Capitol next Thursday, April 1 from 9:00 a.m. to noon in Oklahoma City.

Some 25 pro-family groups will be on hand in the 4th Floor Rotunda to explain their nonprofit work to attendees. Perhaps most important, the 2010 Oklahoma Family of the Year will be recognized for the first time publicly and also in the state House of Representatives (beginning at approximately 10 a.m.).

The purpose of this annual Family Day event is to honor the institution of the Family in Oklahoma and to serve as a reminder to state legislators and to Gov. Brad Henry to always remember the family and to consider the family impact of bills -- both positive and negative -- when they are legislating. Gov. Henry has issued an executive proclamation, which declares April 1 as Family Day in the state of Oklahoma.

Family Day at the State Capitol is sponsored by the Character Council of Central Oklahoma and the Oklahoma Family Policy Council.

Your family is welcome and encouraged to attend.
