The chapter also has entries at the national level to be announced at Continental Congress in Washington, D.C., in July in the areas of national defense, poetry, short story, sculpture and photography.

Calhoun Middle School and the Chief Tusquahoma chapter collected 55 out-of-date cell phones. The phones were reprogrammed by a national phone company with an hour of free service and then were sent to soldiers in Iraq.

Guest speaker of the April meeting was Justin French, curator at Biedenharn Museum. He was introduced by first vice regent Mary Sue Mitchell and Nugent, who is also a docent at the museum. French gave the group seven tips on what not to do in preserving antiques. The tips included keeping items away from water, heat, light, people, dirt, bugs and pets. He covered the areas of books, paper, photographs, paintings, furniture, silver, metal, glass, ceramics and clothing. He displayed and explained the use of several products on the market. A question-and-answer session followed the presentation.

Clark conducted the opening ritual. Nugent read the president's general message and Mary Kathryn Reighney gave the national defense report and the minutes of the last meeting. Rodgers gave the treasurer's report and Billie Alderman gave the flag moment. Clark read the constitution moment. Hostesses were Dottie Glover and Gladys Brownlee. The meeting was adjourned with prayer by Barbara Gewin, chaplain.

Members in attendance not mentioned above were Gail Collins, Wyolene Rainer, Gaye Hall, Gladys Brownlee, Delores Gewin, Jean Downing and Jo Bennett.
