Recovery Efforts Continue In The Aftermath Of Devastating Oklahoma Tornadoes
Almost nine months have passed since a series of devastating tornadoes ripped through the middle of Oklahoma and the hearts of Oklahomans. In Moore, work continues to help people affected by the storm. The OU Club of Houston along with the Houston chapter of Texas Exes raised more than $7,500 to support the recovery and contributed that money to the United Methodist Disaster Response Program which has become the lead organization in continuing to offer help and hope.
Find out how your contribution continues to provide assistance to our fellow Oklahomans in need. And visit our Club Website and Facebook page to learn how you'll soon be able to provide hands-on support for those in need right here in our own Houston communities.

We'll be launching the OU K9 Club at the beginning of 2014 and if you have a four-legged Sooner in your family, you'll want to get involved. There will be happy-hour and dog-park events, photo contests, doggie treats and more. If you're a dog-lover and a Sooner fan and want to help shape the OU K9 club, simply contact us via info@houstonsooners.com and we'll get you on the K9 committee, headed by Keryl Huffman.
