Last year, in conjunction with Art with a Heart, our young artists at OU Children's Hospital created the Oklahoma ornaments, which were hung on the White House Christmas trees. Ronda Renner Roush '74 is the artist the governor invited to create our Oklahoma ornaments. Ronda, along with Kay Tangner '12, worked with our young artists to create beautiful ornaments. Kay and Kacey Glasscock Luster, OSU '92, traveled to Washington, D.C., to participate in the hanging of these ornaments. The Tri Delta Trident magazine had a wonderful article about this project.
