🌱 New Online Crime Tracker + Jenks Hosts Make-A-Wish Fundraiser

Happy Wednesday, neighbors! Here's everything you need to know about what's happening in Tulsa today.

First, today's weather:

Cooler with a few showers. High: 61 Low: 38.

Here are the top 3 stories today in Tulsa:

1. Police are seeking the public's help in identifying a suspect who burglarized a hair shop in midtown. Officials say that on Mar. 22, the suspect broke a window at the business and proceeded to disarm the owner, who was at the scene. Anyone with information regarding the break-in should contact Tulsa Crime Stoppers at (918) 596-2677. (KTUL)
2. The Tulsa Police Department has launched a new online tool to help community members track crime in their neighborhoods. The interactive tool features a heat map of crimes in the area and allows users to check out crime reports. The map is available to the public now, but officials say that future updates are already in the works. (KRMG)
3. Students at Jenks High School are raising funds this week in honor of four local children living with terminal illnesses. The students' goal is to raise at least $30,000 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation through a series of events including dog yoga, a golf tournament, and a silent auction. The fundraiser is part of the school's annual "DUB Week," which has previously benefited organizations such as Youth Services of Tulsa and The Common Good (Tulsa). (KRMG)

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*.
