On March 17th, many Midwest City Rotarians participated in the first Mid Del Group Home Red Carpet Movie Premier.  The evening began with the grand entrance of our Mid Del Champion Residents from Mid Del Group Homes.  There was free popcorn, soft drinks, candy, and water for the audience.   The audience was treated to a virtual tour of the residents'  lives and work at their various jobs as well as a short clip on the benefits that Pay Com has provided for employees of the home. The residents discussed how they spend their paychecks they receive every Friday. The final showing was the movie 'Champion' Starring Woody Harrelson,  The movie was very relevant to the lives of our Mid Del Champion Residents that have overcome so many life challenges to become productive citizens.
