ANNOUNCEMENT: OKC Tellers Dissolved

Due to a lack of interest in the group, OKC Tellers is disbanding as a viable, monthly storytelling group.   Despite a great venue, central metro location, lots of free parking, and some great tellers, there was simply not enough interest in keeping it going.

There will - occasionally - some storytelling events.

TALL TALES, May 5, at 7 p.m.

Come join the fun with tall tales, whoppers, and sorta-true stories....

7 p.m. , meeting in rooms at Wesley UMC, NW 25th and Classen.
Use the roomy west parking lot and west entrance.

APRIL MEETING, MONDAY 4/7/14

Join the OKC Tellers on Monday evening to listen to and share some stories about spring, your battle against winter, your garden, your....well, you name it!
