Each year, OWFI collects new and gently used books for the “Books for Literacy” book drive at the conference. This program, started by Honorary Lifetime Member, Vivian Zabel, is a labor of love benefiting the Children’s Center Rehabilitation Hospital and the VA Hospital in Oklahoma City.

This competitive event funds OWFI’s scholarship program. Your donations will be part of the annual silent auction, held at the conference. We’re looking for individual and group donations, in large and small sizes.
