Councilor @phlakin and I kicked off 918 Day just after midnight at Hurts Donuts! Mary was holding down the fort. She’s originally from New Mexico but moved to Tulsa to be closer to her grandkids. #918DayTulsa pic.twitter.com/GDQMVrKf25

These folks run the Tulsa Sobering Center, the City’s new alternative to incarceration for publicly intoxicated people. The lady next to me runs the Center and her name is Debbie. She’s a Tulsa native and loves this chance to help people turn their lives around. #918DayTulsa pic.twitter.com/MObfjOSkNl

He also spoke with several first responders.

"We have things happening in all parts of our city at any given point in time during the day. And remarkable people making those things happen, so it's been a lot of fun so far," Bynum said.

A medical emergency run with Tulsa Fire Department Station 27. A man was having chest pains and our firefighters were on the scene promptly. Thanks to quick response times like that, Tulsa has one of the highest cardiac incident survival rates in the nation! #918DayTulsa pic.twitter.com/w3vbx1IBC3

Pit stop at @QuikTrip! Routinely rated one of America’s best employers and a true Tulsa entrepreneurial success story. Manning the counter tonight is Kaitlin. She works nights at QT to pay her way through college at OSU-Tulsa. #918DayTulsa pic.twitter.com/rfqTCigVFG

Several hours on patrol with @TulsaPolice Mingo Valley Division Officers. Between 1:00 and 4:00 AM, you encounter folks in difficult circumstances. I’m always impressed by the professionalism and compassion our officers show while keeping our city safe. #918DayTulsa pic.twitter.com/Y5j152L7Bb
