Fred G Winters, DDS, March Business of the Month
Fred G. Winter, DDS name the Okeene Chamber’s Business of the Month
Fred Winters attended grade school in Hitchcock, high school in Okeene, was an undergraduate at SWOSU and achieved his DDS at the University of Missouri @ Kansas City.
It was the day after Thanksgiving in 1968 when Fred Winter’s opened his office right where it’s located today! 41 years later Fred is still offering general dentistry to the Okeene area. Brenda Fox has been with Fred 29 years, Blanca Lorenz 12 years, Mindy Anthony 1 year ant Taylor Wilcox 6 months. Their hours are Monday through Friday 8-5 except when Fred has to take off on some fun-filled trip; I mean DENTAL CONVENTIONs, wink-wink!
I was surprised to learn that in 1977 & 78 Fred taught 1 day a week at OU Dental School.
Over the years Fred has served our community as President of the Chamber of Commerce, has sat on the City Council, been on the School Board and President of Kiwanis Club where he is known as the “Music Man”.
In keeping Okeene up with the times, Fred’s office recently upgraded to Digital X-Ray and Cad/Cam generated compressed porcelain restoration for Crowns.
Fred’s hope for the future is to follow the example of the MD’s of Okeene: Dr. Williams, Dotter, Lagan and Atendido to continue practice well into his 70’s.
Please join the Chamber at 207 East F St., Friday, March 12th from 11am-1pm , to celebrate Fred Winters, DDS being chosen as our Business of the Month.
Reception for Mike Sanders held at Dobrinski Chevrolet
Last night, the show room floor of Dobrinski Chevrolet was full of chairs, a nice table of munchie items and people. People who live in Okeene and are concerned about issues such as our Governments ideas on Healthcare, the new Cash for Clunkers program for appliances, compressed natural gas…how many other issues are we facing right now? Many, many more but these were the main issues discussed with Mike Sanders, District 59 State Representative .
Chamber President, Mike Dobrinski, wrote:
OK-You thought you’d been spared this year from any major political battle or election turmoil. However, the truth is that turmoil and the battle ahead is likely unprecedented. We have to prepare now to protect ourselves from the ever growing federal bureaucracy that is strangling small business and threatens the livelihood of hard-working Oklahomans like us.
Representative Sanders is working hard at our Capitol to preserve our rights and protect the freedoms and opportunities that generations before us have fought and died for.
We are seeing evidence every day that illustrates we can no longer just sit back and enjoy the ride. The bus is overcrowded and the passengers loading now don’t think they should have to buy their ticket. Let’s work together to do our part to control our destiny and preserve the future opportunities for our kids.
Thanks, Jim!
Thanks for all of your work, Jim! I appreciate your looking out for the Okeene Chamber! And thanks for letting folks know I wasn’t the cause of the interruption….it’s logical, as you know, to assume I would be the responsible party! lol!
Okeene.com being rebuilt
Well it finally happened. After years of not having any real problems with Okeene.com a software upgrade went bad.
We will have the site up and running again as soon as possible.
We apologize for the inconvenience. In the meantime if you have any questions you can contact Sherri at the chamber office by email
Jim and Sherri
P.S. Sherri didn’t have anything to do with the crash it was all me – read Jim
