Rogers County raises most money for CASA through Paper Doll Project
For the second consecutive year, Rogers County raised the most money in a six-county drive to benefit Court Appointed Special Advocates of Northeast Oklahoma. CASA, an organization of volunteers who advocate in court for kids in difficult situations, gathers donations each spring from its Paper Doll Project. Individuals or groups in Rogers, Craig, Delaware, Mayes, Ottawa and Washington counties give anywhere from $100 to $1,000 to receive child-sized wooden dolls to dress, name and display. Marketing Coordinator Mark Ogle came to the Rogers County Commissioners' meeting Monday to present a trophy to Rogers County for financing the most dolls. Ogle said in addition to funding CASA's operations, the dolls help foster kids because the kids will now receive the clothes donors bought for their dolls to wear. "It is a collaboration among the communities and all the counties," Ogle said. "It does get competitive, so you all won and for a second year over, so that's quite an accomplishment, and a lot of credit to Rogers County and all the businesses and organizations that joined in." Donors funded about 200 dolls this year, Ogle said. Also at Monday's meeting, the commissioners put out to bid a project to build a storage facility for Rogers County Emergency Management. District 2 Commissioner and Chairman Steve Hendrix said the project is part of an American Rescue Plan Act award that also funded a command center trailer for Emergency Management. Bid documents call for a 5,500-square-foot, one-story structure adjacent to the Rogers County 911 Center on State Highway 88. "Finally," Hendrix said after the commissioners voted to approve letting the bid. "Emergency Management has equipment strung out everywhere. We're going to finally get a place to put it." Anyone interested in submitting a bid should contact Samantha Sherman, purchasing clerk for the Rogers County Clerk's Office, at 918-923-4429 or purchasing@ Developers may purchase or view a set of the building plans at the Rogers County Clerk's office, 200 S. Lynn Riggs Blvd. in Claremore. The commissioners also chose Burgess Co. to replace a malfunctioning accordion fire door on the fourth floor of the Rogers County Courthouse. The county had previously let this project but received no bid offers. Doug Presley, director of the Rogers County Maintenance Department, instead sought phone bids and received three. Burgess' $49,412 offer was the low bid.
