Guests are always eligible for the door prize awarded that night.
Following the meeting will be a ceremony at Woodlawn Cemetery to mark the final resting place of some of those who survived the infamous trail. One of those to have a small bronze marker placed at his headstone will be Elijah Hicks, who led the second detachment from the Cherokee Nation East in 1838 and arrived in Oklahoma in 1839. He was an early settler of Claremore and his home was known as Echota. All proceeds go to diabetes research. The Davis', event organizers, want everyone to know that upcoming holidays will not disrupt these occasions and will definitely highlight them, since Christmas will be on Saturday.
