Good morning, good morning, good

00:00:03.919 --> 00:00:08.039
two of our community connection Miss Dory
Pottery in studio. How you doing,

3
00:00:08.279 --> 00:00:12.439
Hey Tom, I want to invite
you to an annual event. However you

4
00:00:12.480 --> 00:00:15.919
can't come. Oh name, it's
for ladies only. Oh I got you.

5
00:00:16.199 --> 00:00:21.000
It's a girls' night out. It's
a Bartlesville's Connections fifteenth annual Girls' night

6
00:00:21.039 --> 00:00:25.640
Out game Night. And this is
something that we've now done fifteen. This

7
00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:30.120
will the fifteenth year, but we've
done in my house in July and so

8
00:00:30.239 --> 00:00:33.920
invite people. We kind of call
it Poterosa just for the fun of it.

9
00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:38.039
Invite everybody out to Potosa for a
girls' night out game night. And

10
00:00:38.320 --> 00:00:42.240
what we do is six o'clock,
we start with desserts and people kind of

11
00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:45.600
come and kind of visit a little
bit and have some dessert things like that,

12
00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:50.000
and then at six thirty we all
gather in the house and the air

13
00:00:50.039 --> 00:00:53.799
conditioning and I just want to say
that in case they think they have to

14
00:00:53.799 --> 00:00:57.960
be outside, they're in the air
conditioning. And we kind of have it

15
00:00:58.119 --> 00:01:00.479
so that there's one place in my
house so we can do enough chairs and

16
00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:04.280
stuff so everybody can see and hear
our speaker, so we'll have a speaker,

17
00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:10.079
and actually it's Michelle Cartwright. She's
coming from Colorado to speak for us.

18
00:01:10.120 --> 00:01:12.760
And she's just a really fun,
fun, funny person and stuff too,

19
00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:19.280
a neat person and Cartwright, I
got yeah, yeah, so but

20
00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:23.439
she's she's called holding Out for a
Hero is the name of her talk.

21
00:01:23.599 --> 00:01:26.840
And so anyway, she's fun,
she's just a great So we look forward

22
00:01:26.840 --> 00:01:32.920
to having Michelle coming to Patarosa and
and speaking with us. And then after

23
00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:36.959
she's done speaking, then um,
we put all the chairs away and stuff

24
00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:40.640
like that, put out some card
tables and some chairs around it, and

25
00:01:40.680 --> 00:01:44.280
then we have game night and people
have their choice of what they want to

26
00:01:44.319 --> 00:01:47.120
do. Um, if they want
to play Bunco, if they want to

27
00:01:47.159 --> 00:01:49.159
play bingo, if they want to
do that creative coloring. You know,

28
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:53.359
we've got some markers and color pencils
and things with those really pretty pictures and

29
00:01:53.359 --> 00:01:57.799
stuff that she can sit there and
visit and color. And then we also

30
00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:00.439
some galzil grab a towel and sit
out by the pool and just chat,

31
00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:05.200
you know, just relax and um, if it's not too hot, you

32
00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:07.480
know, they'll be there a lot
longer than what you know, but if

33
00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:09.120
it's hot, they'll be there short
time. I've actually had people get in

34
00:02:09.159 --> 00:02:12.879
before too, but most people just
sit with their feet in the pool and

35
00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:15.879
chat if they'd like to do that. But in the really fun thing in

36
00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:20.080
the poolhouse is we've got line dancing
going and that's your condition too out there

37
00:02:20.120 --> 00:02:23.879
so that they can do that and
uh, and we've have the same group

38
00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:27.719
that's been doing line dancing for us
for a while. Becky Eaves is going

39
00:02:27.719 --> 00:02:30.639
to be there to lead it and
she's excellent and the ladies just have a

40
00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:35.520
really good time doing that. So
you have your choices to what you'd like

41
00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:38.680
to do. Um, it's just
a whole lot of fun. We do

42
00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:42.199
charge five dollars and that stuff for
the dessert and the money to go back

43
00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:46.039
to stonecrofton to bars, relays,
connection and all the projects that that we

44
00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:50.879
do. The desserts are fabulous,
all homemade stuff that's just yeah, it's

45
00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:53.599
it's it's yummy. I mean there's
also type of stuff or whatever's well,

46
00:02:53.639 --> 00:02:59.400
but most of it, I'll say, the good the good stuff, the

47
00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:02.080
good stuff, yeah, along with
punch and water and things like that too.

48
00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:05.520
So but yet now we have a
good time with it. We do

49
00:03:05.639 --> 00:03:07.759
ask that that you make reservations ahead
of time because we need to know how

50
00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:12.520
many chairs to have, only people
to plan for, and so you can

51
00:03:12.639 --> 00:03:14.639
just call it the easiest way out
till you just call us here at the

52
00:03:14.680 --> 00:03:17.000
radio station and we'll take your reservation
stuff. Yeah, yeah, we'll do

53
00:03:17.039 --> 00:03:21.800
it. We'll get your reservation in
for it. Um and invite a friend,

54
00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:23.960
you know, bring a couple of
friends, make it a fun girl's

55
00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:28.759
time to come together and stuff too, and we'll have from high school age

56
00:03:28.759 --> 00:03:31.639
gals all the way to gals who
come in their walkers, you know.

57
00:03:31.759 --> 00:03:37.319
I mean, it's just a really
nice generational group that comes together and that

58
00:03:37.439 --> 00:03:40.960
does this always um new people who've
never been there before, and that's always

59
00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:45.280
a lot of fun too. My
job is usually as people come in,

60
00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:47.879
I park them ill because we do
have a lot of cars, because we'll

61
00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:53.240
have anywhere eighty two hundred ladies sometimes
they come, so so my job is

62
00:03:53.319 --> 00:03:55.319
usually to kind of park people along
the fence along the road there and then

63
00:03:55.360 --> 00:03:59.360
they can kind of walk in from
there. So that's that's what I do.

64
00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:01.759
And we hope for a nice evening
so that you know, we don't

65
00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:05.280
have to dodge any raindrops and stuff, but around here nowadays we don't.

66
00:04:05.319 --> 00:04:09.159
We're thankful for every raindrop we get. So if it's a rainy night,

67
00:04:09.240 --> 00:04:11.560
that's okay, we'll make it work. I'm looking out to the west.

68
00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:14.199
It looks like we've got a little
shelf cloud maybe even coming in here right

69
00:04:14.199 --> 00:04:16.160
now that could have a little rain
in it, and we do that would

70
00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:19.920
be a good thing. But yeah, and one other thing that we're doing

71
00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:24.680
is part of it. Sometimes we
have what we call an optional community connection,

72
00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:28.920
and we choose a charity and people
can bring things toward it, and

73
00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:32.600
Salvation Army is our optional community connection
this time. So we bring canned goods

74
00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:36.920
or non perishable items and we'll give
all those to the Salvation Army, to

75
00:04:38.040 --> 00:04:41.600
their food bank and all that they
do. So that's optional, but if

76
00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:44.639
you'd like to bring something for that, we'll help deliver that for you to

77
00:04:44.680 --> 00:04:46.759
be able to make that happen.
So the connection really does a lot of

78
00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:50.720
good work in the community. And
you know, we talk a lot about

79
00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:57.720
the fun ash BacT, yes,
but there's also the powerful strength that's behind

80
00:04:57.759 --> 00:05:01.120
all of the well they well,
you know, there's a faith part behind

81
00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:03.920
it, and we don't make any
bones about it that they know that are

82
00:05:04.439 --> 00:05:09.839
exactly our speaker. She's going to
tell her faith story and how the Lord

83
00:05:09.879 --> 00:05:12.920
has helped her get through stuff,
overcome stuff, and you know, and

84
00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:15.360
you can do it too type of
thing is what she's saying. You know,

85
00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:18.319
it's really always inspirational and encouraging and
so, um, yeah, she's

86
00:05:18.480 --> 00:05:21.560
she's humorous, but she also has
a lot of depth to what she says

87
00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:26.120
too, So now though that is
special. And then we do have Bible

88
00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:30.079
studies throughout the community too that we
invite people to if they'd like to come

89
00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:31.959
be a part of our Bible studies. Um, I didn't bring that list

90
00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:34.720
with me, but um, but
we've got several of them. So if

91
00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:39.639
you're interested in getting into a Bible
study. M The neat thing about a

92
00:05:39.639 --> 00:05:43.680
lot of our studies is if you've
never been in a study before, um,

93
00:05:44.120 --> 00:05:47.279
it's they're easy because the page numbers
from the little study guide that we

94
00:05:47.319 --> 00:05:50.639
go through matches up with the page
numbers or the Bible, so it'll say

95
00:05:50.680 --> 00:05:54.839
like turn to John three sixteen,
page seven hundred and twenty four, you

96
00:05:54.839 --> 00:05:57.920
know, or whatever, so you
don't have to feel like I don't know

97
00:05:57.959 --> 00:06:00.120
where John is, you know,
or whatever? How to you know this

98
00:06:00.199 --> 00:06:02.240
is going to be awkward. No, it's just really simple. And so

99
00:06:03.160 --> 00:06:06.519
if you've been in studies for forty
years like some of us have been,

100
00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:10.079
you know, there's a lot of
depth to it. But if you've never

101
00:06:10.120 --> 00:06:13.800
been in one before, it also
makes it easy to flow for it.

102
00:06:13.879 --> 00:06:16.759
So you know, there's we don't
have teachers, we have guides. You

103
00:06:16.759 --> 00:06:19.480
know, our guides lead through the
study. We all do it together,

104
00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:24.160
you know, we don't just teach
and preach Bible study. You you actually

105
00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:27.240
just go through and learn together,
which is really kind of neat and kind

106
00:06:27.240 --> 00:06:30.959
of fun too. We also do
that in the jail. We go every

107
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:34.000
Wednesday afternoon into the jail and do
Bible studies with the gals there too.

108
00:06:34.360 --> 00:06:39.000
And so today's Wednesday, so this
afternoon we'll have a team that goes in

109
00:06:39.040 --> 00:06:42.959
and does some Bible studies here in
our local jail. And then once a

110
00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:46.680
month we do what we call a
life lesson in the jail, and usually

111
00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:50.079
it's the same day as our events
that we do. So actually that afternoon

112
00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:54.519
Michelle will go in and she'll share
with the ladies and stuff too, and

113
00:06:54.560 --> 00:06:58.360
we have some there's some kind of
purpose behind it, you know sometimes and

114
00:06:58.480 --> 00:07:01.360
we'll talk about forgiveness, or we'll
talk about finances, or we'll talk about

115
00:07:02.839 --> 00:07:08.360
generational poverty and issues and how to
overcome and you know, different things too.

116
00:07:08.439 --> 00:07:11.519
So we do a lot of different
things with our life lesson that we

117
00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:14.480
do at the jail as well.
So yeah, bartle's Ville's Connection has a

118
00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:17.319
lot of different components to it,
and we don't have membership or dues.

119
00:07:17.639 --> 00:07:20.279
Just come and come when you can, you know, and be a part

120
00:07:20.279 --> 00:07:24.240
of it. There's some of us
that are involved in lots of ways and

121
00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:27.800
lots of parts of lots of moving
pieces to it, and then there's some

122
00:07:27.920 --> 00:07:30.399
that just come when they can and
enjoy with us. And so yeah,

123
00:07:30.519 --> 00:07:34.720
so whatever you'd like to do,
we enjoy it. Invite you to come

124
00:07:34.839 --> 00:07:38.879
and do that. But again that's
the next thing that's coming up. I

125
00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:42.439
will go ahead and jump ahead to
the future because if you're not available a

126
00:07:42.480 --> 00:07:45.040
