Tar Creek, OK

This area is the site of the largest lead and zinc mining operation in U.S. History, resulting in surface and groundwater contamination which has caused high lead levels in the blood of area children.  Stories written by children telling how their lives have been affected by the toxins have been compiled and published in a book form.  The cost of publishing these books was provided by a $3,000 allotment from the Mission component of the Capital Campaign (Foundation for the Future).  Other support in the form of donations of new and used books, special offerings.
