Friends and subscribers,
 
It has been a wonderful fourteen years at Downtown Oklahoma City Partnership, and I am proud of the growth we have seen downtown over this time. Some of you may have heard about my upcoming retirement from this organization. Although I will be full time until the end of February, this is the last newsletter that will go out under my name.
 
Next week, look for fresh changes in the Wednesday afternoon What’s Up Downtown Newsletter with Downtown Oklahoma City Partnership in the “sent by” column. Producing a weekly newsletter requires dedication and persistence, and I am grateful to the staff who work diligently to get it out on time 52 times every year. Additionally, I am appreciative of the vibrant community in downtown that provides us with so many opportunities to delight visitors and locals with a myriad of programming and activities. Finally, I thank you for supporting downtown OKC.

With gratitude,
Jane Jenkins
Downtown OKC Partnership President & CEO
