Sign of the Times: Fragrance Free Workplace

"Allergies are common - especially in Oklahoma.  Not only can people be allergic to pets, pollen, and dust, but some can also be allergic to perfumes and cologne.  When visiting City Hall, please help us by not wearing perfume, cologne, or other fragrances.  If you are wearing a fragrance, you will need to remain at the front of the building when visiting.  Thank you for your help!
Tuttle. Oklahoma"
