So exciting … Musicology is now making sure beautiful music will be played in the Permian Basin for many, many years to come! Music lessons are available for people of all ages. So, young, or young-at-heart, you can learn guitar, piano, woodwinds, drums, and even the harp! There are also wonderful people teaching voice lessons.

As we celebrate Musicologie’s official ribbon cutting with the Odessa Chamber Ambassadors, we also celebrate the love of all things musical! Thank you, Musicologie, for selecting Odessa, TX to share the magical experience of music.

A huge thank you to Permian Basin Mission Center for hosting us and to everyone who came out to connect, remember, and support our community!

We had a wonderful turnout as we came together to honor the 25th anniversary of September 11th, remembering the lives lost, the heroes who stepped forward, and the strength and unity our nation showed during such a difficult time. 🇺🇸❤️

We also had the opportunity to learn more about Permian Basin Mission Center and its mission, as well as the important work they do to serve and make a difference in our community.

We are grateful for another great Coffee & Connections! ☕️🤝

Today we remember the lives lost, the survivors, and the entire Odessa community as we mark seven years since the tragic events of August 31, 2019. The heartache of that day remains etched in our city's history, but so does the profound strength, resilience, and unity of our people.

To honor those we lost and support everyone affected, we encourage community members to visit the Bright Star Memorial on UTPB - The University of Texas Permian Basin campus. Designed by sculptor Jim Sanborn, this powerful monument features the names of those taken from us alongside heartfelt messages from loved ones and survivors.

Take a moment today to reflect, pay your respects, and keep the families and victims in your thoughts. We remember them. 💛
