Members of the botanic garden may attend at no cost. Non-members may attend for $5. Purple Up for Military Kids: While most people associate the color green with the Oklahoma 4- H program, the color purple will be the focus Friday, April 13. April marks the nation’s “Month of the Military Child,” and April 13 has been designated as “Purple Up! For Military Kids” day. This is a great time for all extension programs and departments to honor youth in Oklahoma who are impacted by military deployment. OMK (Operation: Military Kids), which was initiated in 2005, is part of the Oklahoma 4-H Youth Development Program. OMK is joining forces with all other Operation: Military Kids programs across the country to raise awareness and show support for these children and their families and let them know how much we appreciate the sacrifices they make when their family members are deployed. Groups, organizations and individuals all across Oklahoma are encouraged to wear purple as a visible way to support and thank military families. A sea of purple in every Oklahoma community would provide a wonderful visual for the thousands of military families. Purple is the color that symbolizes all branches of the military and combines Army green, Coast Guard blue, Air Force blue, Marine red and Navy blue. Community organizations, including 4-H clubs, can host events in their communities that focus on military youth. Please email photos and a short story of your “Purple Up” activities to Carol Vandiver at carol.vandiver@okstate.edu.
