The Oklahoma Federation of Republican Women has announced the topic for its 2009-2010 essay contest as "Oklahoma's Role in Aerospace-Past and Future."

Entries must be no more than 500 words in length and either legibly handwritten or typed. The deadline for submitting essays to the local OFRW club is Dec. 4.
