Ponca City Noon Ambucs

05/25/2026

Memorial Day is a time to remember those who lost their lives in service to our country.

As we spend time with family and community, we pause to honor their sacrifice and remember those who are no longer with us.

From all of us at AMBUCS, thank you to those who served and to the families who continue to carry their memory forward.

If you have not already, meet Tom Fender! A perfect example of what it means to truly give back. For 46 years Tom has been the spark plug and glue that helps the Ponca City Noon Ambucs shine! His commitment, dedication, loyalty, and professionalism is top notch. Here are a few of Tom’s achievements.

Joined Ambucs 9/12/1980
Became a Big Hatter 10/31/1985
Became a Life Member 4/13/1992
Club President 3 times
District Governor 4 times
Region Director 1998-2000
National President Elect 2001
National President 2002

Tom Fender is an Icon (my opinion) and would never speak on his accolades…. Tom loves his Ambuc Family and would do anything to support it. Tom we understand that sometimes we end up distancing ourselves physically for the most important thing on earth and that is blood family. You will only be a call away but you will be missed. Thank you for sponsoring me into the Ambuc Family and thank you for our Shoulders Together Motto! Tom Fender is the Ambuc Spotlighter❤️❤️❤️

A few Ambucs stopped to visit our brother Rick Sober. It was a great evening of laughter food and as always an Ambuc beer! Stories were told and memories made. I love our shoulders Together Mission!
