🌱 4 Arrested In Kansas On Marijuana Charges + Sky High Fundraisers

Good day, neighbors! It's me again, Helen Eckhard, your host of the Tulsa Daily.

First, today's weather:

Breezy in the afternoon. High: 67 Low: 42.

Here are the top 3 stories today in Tulsa:

1. Four Tulsa residents were arrested in Kansas last week after being discovered transporting 93 pounds of marijuana. Deputies say a K-9 search uncovered the drugs, valued at $93,000, after pulling over three vehicles for a traffic stop. James Field, Paul Dumitrache, Gabriela Eastman, and Vania Cisneros are all currently being held in jail in Montgomery County, Kansas. (news9.com KWTV)
2. A nonprofit organization that supports children battling cancer is expanding into Tulsa. Sky High is partnering with St. Jude to host a series of fundraising events including a banquet at the Patriot Golf Club on Apr. 26 and a ladies' brunch at the Mayo on May 15. Tickets for both events can be purchased online at Sky High's website. (KOKI FOX 23 TULSA)
3. Dozens of cats and dogs are available for adoption in the Tulsa area. The animals looking for their forever homes include Wally, a playful heeler mix at Tulsa SPCA, and Tyga, a brown and white tabby cat at StreetCats. View the complete roundup of adoptable pets to find the perfect rescue animal for your family. (Tulsa World)

From our sponsor:

Where should you invest as a Tulsa resident with a $149,000 nest egg? Thanks to a change in the legal code, there’s a new investment Tulsa residents need to know about. In fact, Bloomberg asked experts where they’d invest $100,000 right now and many of them chose it.

This may surprise you, but it’s fine art.

Growing your nest egg with art isn’t new. Wealthy families like the Rockefellers have done it for centuries.

Here’s why:

• Low correlation to stocks according to Citi
• Contemporary art historically returns 23.2% when inflation is >3%
• Contemporary art prices outpaced the S&P 500 by 164% (1995-2021)

Translation: Art could be one of the best investments for uncertain times.

Luckily for you, we found Masterworks. This revolutionary platform lets you invest in art by Warhol, Monet, Picasso without spending millions.

The best part? Anyone from your area can skip their waitlist*.
