To the Editor:
Thanks so much for publishing the story on AT&T;’s contributions in Oklahoma and across the nation. Whenever people think about companies that give back to communities, certainly AT&T; is one of the first — if not the first — that comes to mind.
Without a doubt, financial gifts provided by AT&T; play a large role in that company’s excellent reputation in Edmond and in the state. But volunteerism on the part of company employees is what I believe allows AT&T; to stand out in any conversation about citizenship and being a philanthropic leader in our community.
Example one of volunteerism at AT&T; starts with Jan Moran. As most everyone knows, Jan takes major time away from her managerial job duties at AT&T; to serve as chairwoman of the Edmond Area Chamber of Commerce.
Because of Jan’s commitment of time, talent and AT&T; resources, our chamber this year has — despite the challenges of a struggling economy — enjoyed one of its finest years. Our community owes Jan a great big thank you for much of our success.
I know that AT&T; has for a long time been a leader in citizenship and is quickly becoming known for its contributions to sustainability. With people like Jan leading the way, AT&T; will remain at the top of people’s minds when they think of great companies in Oklahoma.

Politicians need to be more factual
Like many fellow citizens of Edmond, I have observed the strenuous campaign for District 41 state Senate seat between Paul Blair and Clark Jolley. During my 24 years in Edmond, I can’t recall the level of effort and money spent for a state Senate seat.
