00:00:01.960 --> 00:00:04.080

7
00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:26.320
beautiful, beautiful week of hot,
hot hot Bartlesville hot hot. But you

8
00:00:26.359 --> 00:00:28.879
know what, we had rain,
so thank goodness. Yes, it's good.

9
00:00:29.519 --> 00:00:33.359
That's why everybody's smiling. It's like, yeah, that rain got rain.

10
00:00:33.560 --> 00:00:35.799
So how are you doing down there
at the chamber. What's happening?

11
00:00:36.119 --> 00:00:38.280
Oh, we're doing good. Um. Last night we had a really fun

12
00:00:38.320 --> 00:00:42.719
event. It was speed networking and
it's a very it's a small event by

13
00:00:42.759 --> 00:00:47.280
design, but they all have about
four minutes to tell the group what they

14
00:00:47.320 --> 00:00:50.200
do, and just they stay till
six. It's supposed to be about five,

15
00:00:50.240 --> 00:00:52.520
if that tells you anything, But
that was by they want. I

16
00:00:52.520 --> 00:00:56.439
mean, you know, they just
kept asking questions and making connections and so

17
00:00:56.560 --> 00:01:00.920
it's it's it's a really fun events
of just a very diverse route all sorts

18
00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:06.120
of different businesses, organizations you know
represented and so anyhow, so that was

19
00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:11.000
last night, and then another event
kind of similar but on a bigger scale,

20
00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:14.239
is UM on August third. We
have our next Business after Hours.

21
00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:19.319
Took a break in July and this
after Hours will be August third. It's

22
00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:23.719
at Wesleyan Christian School be hosted there
right for school starts and this is just

23
00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:27.840
a great opportunity. It's another free
event for our members to make connections.

24
00:01:29.719 --> 00:01:32.719
A lot of members join. That's
what they're looking for is how to kind

25
00:01:32.719 --> 00:01:34.079
of spread the word what they do, who they are. There may be

26
00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:38.120
a newer business, a lot of
them have been in business for a long

27
00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:41.560
time, but people still aren't familiar
or you're you're still always looking for connections,

28
00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:45.000
new customers, potential customers, clients, that kind of thing. And

29
00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:48.599
so that's what Business after Hours is
all about. It's very informal. It's

30
00:01:48.680 --> 00:01:51.239
not that there's not a program UM. It's kind of come and go.

31
00:01:51.319 --> 00:01:53.000
If you can only stay for twenty
minutes, you know, it's from four

32
00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:57.640
to five each little after five.
You know, if you need to leave,

33
00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:00.239
you leave. It's no big deal. You don't have to. They're

34
00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:04.159
right at for it's not like they're
gonna walk in late. So it's a

35
00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:07.520
popular event that we've actually done since
nineteen I think it started in eighty six

36
00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:12.159
and up until COVID, they we
had not missed a month, but then

37
00:02:12.240 --> 00:02:15.639
COVID hit and all that, and
now we do have a few months where

38
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:19.520
we take off. We obviously don't
do December because it's opening night at Christmas

39
00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:22.199
in the Ville. We can't do
two things at once. So but the

40
00:02:22.199 --> 00:02:25.960
anyhow so that is coming up once
off December August third, and then not

41
00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:30.159
in December yet. August fifteenth is
another really popular event. It's a free

42
00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:35.159
event again for our members. It's
called noha Ville. It's sponsored and hosted

43
00:02:35.199 --> 00:02:38.199
by Tri County Tech, so it's
at their event center. This is an

44
00:02:38.199 --> 00:02:40.639
early morning event, but that way
you're not missing work. It's seven thirty

45
00:02:40.639 --> 00:02:43.919
to nine. There's a light breakfast. Well I've done it's in coffee.

46
00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:46.719
But what it is, it's a
way for our to give our members connection

47
00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:51.960
to leaders in our community and here
firsthand from leaders in our community. So

48
00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:55.199
we have our city manager, Mike
Bailey, we have our Economic Development Arm,

49
00:02:55.240 --> 00:02:59.280
the barbs Will Development Authority, Chris
Fatch, elder will be giving an

50
00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:05.960
update on the latest things happening economic
development, which everyone's always very curious about.

51
00:03:06.719 --> 00:03:08.520
There is actually there is a lot, and so many times it's like

52
00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:13.319
they can't they can't ever say anything, but there's stuff happening. But it's

53
00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:15.919
just that kind of thing. I've
always said this, I would not have

54
00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:17.879
the patience because I'm the kind that
you see something, you want to get

55
00:03:17.879 --> 00:03:20.800
it done, you do it.
We see something we want to do as

56
00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:23.120
a chamber, we take it,
we do it. You know, Um,

57
00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:25.400
Christmas in the Bill is a great
example seven years ago. Let's just

58
00:03:25.439 --> 00:03:28.199
take it. Let's do it.
You know, it's not that you know,

59
00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:31.199
and let's do it. But you
know they have it's just not a

60
00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:35.560
quick process. So many they have
a lot of procedurals. Yeah, it's

61
00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:38.599
just and you're dealing with all sorts
of things. So anyhow, but I

62
00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:40.840
was weld about monthority of we're giving
an update all that to say, um,

63
00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:45.560
there is a lot happening most of
the time, and a lot of

64
00:03:45.560 --> 00:03:47.840
the times it's they can't say anything
yet because you know, it's not a

65
00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:52.280
done deal. So um, we
also have Oh I know, I'd be

66
00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:53.840
dying to tell people, oh,
but you know what, but anyhow,

67
00:03:54.039 --> 00:03:57.319
um so, anyhow, but there
are some good things I think they're gonna

68
00:03:57.319 --> 00:04:00.080
be able to report on hopefully um
check mcaulay are school superintendent will be there

69
00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:03.960
giving update on schools. Yeah.
And then I go to for downtown,

70
00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:06.879
Mark Caskell. If anyone knows Mark
Caskill and our favorite people, I know

71
00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:10.919
it. Everybody knows. Mark gives
an update for downtown, which is always

72
00:04:10.919 --> 00:04:13.400
interesting because you think we did this
twice a year, about every six to

73
00:04:13.439 --> 00:04:16.439
seven months to give enough time between
for updates and things. You know that

74
00:04:16.720 --> 00:04:19.279
happens not something you can do every
month, but you always say, oh,

75
00:04:19.319 --> 00:04:23.079
you know, I'll relate six months
what's happened downtown. And he always

76
00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:27.000
has pictures and slides and it's like, holy cow, there's a lot happening.

77
00:04:27.079 --> 00:04:29.439
Things have changed or is this is
going on or this has been,

78
00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:32.199
this is new or whatever. So
it's always it's very very interesting. And

79
00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:36.279
then it's a very informal event.
I always kind of scan the crowd,

80
00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:41.120
ask if there's any announcements anything,
you know, people want to announce or

81
00:04:41.279 --> 00:04:44.920
you know, tell the group whatever. So just a fun event. We're

82
00:04:44.920 --> 00:04:46.600
out of there by nine, and
like I said, it's gonna be at

83
00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:48.639
Tri County Tech, but you do
need to registers, so who can kind

84
00:04:48.639 --> 00:04:53.199
of have an idea how many donuts
to buy? So that is going to

85
00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:58.800
be August the fifteenth, and it's
at Tri County Tech and then August seventeenth.

86
00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:02.439
If there's any leadership bartle Well alumni
out there listening, we have our

87
00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:09.600
welcome reception for class thirty three.
It was a we had a record number

88
00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:13.839
of applications this year. Took them
forever to get back with me on decisions

89
00:05:13.920 --> 00:05:17.480
because it was just quality and it
was so so hard. So that's what

90
00:05:17.519 --> 00:05:23.480
happens. Yes, but I just
I hate I dread just part I've read

91
00:05:23.480 --> 00:05:27.000
this time of year every year.
But anyhow, but they've made their decisions

92
00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:30.000
and signed off on it and letters
went out yesterday. So but there's a

93
00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:33.360
welcome reception for the class with the
alumni and this shirt's going to be at

94
00:05:33.439 --> 00:05:39.120
Jarret Farm, the Jret Farm Resort
on Highway seventy five, and I'm excited

95
00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:42.399
about that. Always try to look
for a different, unique venue and they've

96
00:05:42.399 --> 00:05:46.439
done so much work out there and
just renovating and just bringing new life to

97
00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:49.000
the place. So anyhow, that'll
be fun. We'll have that reception best

98
00:05:49.040 --> 00:05:55.120
for alumni. And then August twenty
second, we have eggs and issues breakfast

99
00:05:55.240 --> 00:05:59.240
politics. So we're breakfast, I
always say, and this is a full

100
00:05:59.279 --> 00:06:01.720
hot breakfast. It is twenty five
dollars. But we have the Attorney General

101
00:06:01.759 --> 00:06:06.560
coming in, so UM lots happening
in that office. UM. I was

102
00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:11.879
just at an EVENTUM at a conference
with a bunch of other Chamber UM execs,

103
00:06:11.879 --> 00:06:14.839
and one of them had just had
the Attorney General there, and I

104
00:06:14.839 --> 00:06:15.759
said, well, you know,
how was it, because you always want

105
00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:18.319
to make sure you know, I've
never heard him speak per se in that

106
00:06:18.360 --> 00:06:21.319
type of setting. She said,
he was very, very interesting. So

107
00:06:24.360 --> 00:06:28.759
there's there's there's not a He doesn't
have a lack of things to talk about.

108
00:06:28.839 --> 00:06:30.120
I mean, there's plenty of things
he could talk about, and he

109
00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:34.079
will take UM. I checked with
his staffer and they will he will have

110
00:06:34.079 --> 00:06:39.040
some time for Q and A as
well. So anyhow that is October or

111
00:06:39.439 --> 00:06:42.839
what has my we've got problems with
dates? This morning, August twenty second,

112
00:06:43.480 --> 00:06:46.319
UM and UM at seven thirty to
nine, hosted by Tri County Tech.

113
00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:49.079
Sponsored by Tri County Tech again and
so it'd be hosted out there again.

114
00:06:49.199 --> 00:06:53.319
So yeah, So those are just
a few things coming up. And

115
00:06:54.240 --> 00:06:56.279
I always talk too long. Do
we need to take a break? Yeah,

116
00:06:56.279 --> 00:06:59.240
we did, Okay, real quick
and we'll be right back. Well

117
00:06:59.279 --> 00:07:01.040
we were on a row. Well
that's a lot of information. We'll have

118
00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:04.720
more with miss Sherry here in just
a moment after these words from Tall Grass

119
00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:09.600
Motors and Arno Moore in Knee Camp
in roll. The first conversation I have

120
00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:13.720
with someone's loved one, I don't
care if it's three o'clock in the afternoon

121
00:07:13.879 --> 00:07:16.600
or three o'clock in the morning.
That first conversation is, mister X,

122
00:07:16.879 --> 00:07:20.319
this is Tim how with Arnald Moore
Knee Funeral Home. First of all,

123
00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:25.000
sir, let me say I'm very
sorry we're having to have this conversation right

124
00:07:25.040 --> 00:07:30.759
now, and to the nth degree, those people always appreciate you taking a

125
00:07:30.759 --> 00:07:35.000
moment to just pause and say I'm
aware that someone you care about very much

126
00:07:35.480 --> 00:07:40.040
has just left you, and I'm
sorry that we have to do this,

127
00:07:40.199 --> 00:07:43.319
but we have to do this.
And if it's three o'clock in the morning,

128
00:07:43.720 --> 00:07:47.240
I try to be brief but concise
and say do you have any questions

129
00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:51.519
or anything I can do for you
right now before we meet at our arrangement

130
00:07:51.560 --> 00:07:56.319
conference. And sometimes I say,
you know, can you call my priest?

131
00:07:56.480 --> 00:07:59.199
Can you call my pastor? And
I don't mind doing that. It'll

132
00:07:59.240 --> 00:08:01.839
be all right. Will walk through
this together. Arnold Moore and knee Camp

133
00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:07.399
Funeral Home, seven ten Dewey,
Bartelsville. We will walk through this together.

134
00:08:09.079 --> 00:08:11.600
Is it time to start thinking about
a new car? But the thought

135
00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:16.839
of dealing with the large dealerships is
just too intimidating, too confusing. There

136
00:08:16.040 --> 00:08:20.000
is an easier way, tall Grass
Motors. Tall Grass Motors doesn't play all

137
00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:24.800
the confusing games the large dealerships play. Tall Grass Motors has continually been voted

138
00:08:24.839 --> 00:08:30.680
Bartlesville's best used car dealer year after
year. Good by tall Grass Motors today

139
00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:35.399
and enjoy looking at over sixty used
cars, trucks and SUVs, all prized

140
00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:39.600
to save you money. Tall Grass
Motors Highway seventy five North in Bartelsville.

141
00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:45.039
All right, well come back,
we've got erry. What would the Greater

142
00:08:45.360 --> 00:08:48.720
Bartellville Chamber of Commerce. Boy,
we got a lot going on, Like

143
00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:52.080
said the Attorney General, come into
town and folks can ask him a lot

144
00:08:52.120 --> 00:08:54.639
of questions that went out to be
fine, Yes, yes it should be.

145
00:08:54.679 --> 00:08:56.919
I want to be there. Like
I said, there's not a lack

146
00:08:56.960 --> 00:09:01.519
of things that he could talk about. He's got he's he's involved in a

147
00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:05.720
lot. So that was a little
bit about the chamber itself, because we

148
00:09:05.759 --> 00:09:09.639
know we have a lot of activities, but there are some folks who might

149
00:09:09.679 --> 00:09:11.960
not have a you know, clear
picture what the chambers all about and what

150
00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:16.559
we do for our businesses and citizens. Well, as you can see,

151
00:09:16.600 --> 00:09:18.600
there's a lot of the events that
we do that are getting towards our members

152
00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:24.360
to make connections. We also give
opportunities for members to be able to market

153
00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:28.320
themselves to a very specific um,
you know, business target audience which some

154
00:09:28.320 --> 00:09:33.000
people are looking for that or something
big like Christmas in the Ville where you

155
00:09:33.080 --> 00:09:35.960
just you're exposed to just you know, over twenty twenty five thousand people.

156
00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:41.759
And then we do a lot of
advocacy that's right, and we try to

157
00:09:43.240 --> 00:09:46.879
keep our members in for especially when
they're in when state legislatures in session.

158
00:09:46.360 --> 00:09:50.399
Um we do kind of follow federal
but and we've got a great relationship with

159
00:09:50.440 --> 00:09:54.559
our folks. If we need something, we can pick up the phone and

160
00:09:54.600 --> 00:09:58.519
call them and if a member has
an issue, I've hooked up members before

161
00:09:58.559 --> 00:10:01.360
and said, hey, this is
something that really you know, Senator Langford's

162
00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:05.480
office could could help you with or
whatever. UM. And so we do

163
00:10:05.519 --> 00:10:07.080
a lot of advocacy. We try
to be kind of a watchdog. We

164
00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:11.360
watch business legislation, not so much
social A lot of times it's social things,

165
00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:16.080
but try to watch things that are
going to affect business and UM,

166
00:10:16.120 --> 00:10:18.480
you know, if there's something crazy
coming down the pike, we want to

167
00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:22.320
make sure our members are aware of
that, then contact our local delegation or

168
00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:24.840
if it's federal, you know,
they can reach out to federal. So

169
00:10:24.279 --> 00:10:28.279
UM. Anyhow, we do a
lot with advocacy. UM have some events

170
00:10:28.320 --> 00:10:31.039
like eggs and issues for instance.
UM you know that ties into that.

171
00:10:31.279 --> 00:10:35.600
We like to give our members direct
access to our leaders. So why we

172
00:10:35.679 --> 00:10:39.879
bring in UM usually at least once
you know, Cenator Langford or Senator Mullen,

173
00:10:39.320 --> 00:10:43.440
uh Congressman, our local delegation.
We always have a preview with early

174
00:10:43.480 --> 00:10:46.039
session and then at the end of
wrap up. But anyhow, we'd like

175
00:10:46.039 --> 00:10:48.480
to give our members direct access to
the to the leaders, to the ones

176
00:10:48.519 --> 00:10:52.120
that are you know, making those
decisions. They need to hear from from

177
00:10:52.159 --> 00:10:54.679
business leaders and so um we do, like I said, a lot with

178
00:10:54.720 --> 00:11:01.960
advocacy u E. The education we
do programming to give our small businesses focus

179
00:11:03.039 --> 00:11:05.399
more on small business. Large businesses
have their own resources and that kind of

180
00:11:05.399 --> 00:11:07.960
thing, but small businesses, you
know, you don't only want to pay

181
00:11:07.960 --> 00:11:11.320
three hundred dollars to go a tend
a conference and have to pay to get

182
00:11:11.360 --> 00:11:13.600
there and you know, take a
whole day out of the office. A

183
00:11:13.639 --> 00:11:20.360
lot of times we do just hour
long specific seminars workshops on topics that pertend

184
00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:22.320
to small business. A lot of
times it's on marketing or social media,

185
00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:26.879
that kind of thing. And there's
are usually you know free to our members

186
00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:31.559
are like a very minimal ten twenty
dollars fee. We found that sometimes if

187
00:11:31.600 --> 00:11:33.759
there's a fee, people are more
committed to come in and I get it.

188
00:11:33.960 --> 00:11:37.799
If it's free and you've registered and
you're like, oh, I don't

189
00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:39.120
feel like going out, it's no
big deal because it didn't cost anything.

190
00:11:39.159 --> 00:11:43.679
So sometimes you know that's there's a
small fee, but it's not the you

191
00:11:43.720 --> 00:11:48.480
know fee that you're paying to go
you know, drive to wherever or fly

192
00:11:48.639 --> 00:11:52.360
to wherever, so so and then
we do a lot of things, try

193
00:11:52.399 --> 00:11:58.240
to I always stay behind the scenes
type things. People don't realize that we're

194
00:11:58.279 --> 00:12:05.960
working on issues that affect our community
campaign not campaigns, but like geo bonds

195
00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:07.200
that come up with the city.
We try to help spread the word,

196
00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:13.600
you know, the facts about that
we do, like, for instance,

197
00:12:13.679 --> 00:12:16.720
childcare, such as I think I've
said this before, it's such an issue,

198
00:12:16.799 --> 00:12:18.960
there's such a shortage around the state. It's not just Bartlesville. People

199
00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:24.399
need to realize that there's just so
many challenges to running childcare. And so

200
00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:26.799
we have set up a task force
to look at that. But it's one

201
00:12:26.840 --> 00:12:31.000
of those you know, it's like
homes. It's like it's so hard to

202
00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:37.799
solve the problem because there's so many
things you can't change because the state regulations

203
00:12:37.919 --> 00:12:41.440
or whatever. But anyhow, so
we try to tackle things that affect workforce

204
00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:43.799
because let me tell you, childcare, lack of it is a part of

205
00:12:43.840 --> 00:12:48.399
workforce. And that's part of why
when people when you keep hearing other I

206
00:12:48.399 --> 00:12:50.480
can't find workers, well, it's
because they don't want to give three force

207
00:12:50.519 --> 00:12:56.879
of their paycheck to you know,
for childcare and have hardly anything left to

208
00:12:56.919 --> 00:13:01.240
live on. But yet On the
other flip side, childcare, what they

209
00:13:01.320 --> 00:13:07.639
have to do based on regulations.
They're losing money, which is unbelievable based

210
00:13:07.639 --> 00:13:09.559
on how much you're paying them.
I mean, so it's it's just a

211
00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:11.519
it's a huge, huge issue.
And that's just an example. But um

212
00:13:11.559 --> 00:13:16.559
so we try to get involved in
issues that affect business, UM and affect

213
00:13:16.559 --> 00:13:20.159
our community. UM. A lot
of times it's just educating the community,

214
00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:24.639
educating our members when I say community, but our membership. UM. So

215
00:13:24.519 --> 00:13:28.440
there's just a variety of things that
that we do. UM. I'll tell

216
00:13:28.480 --> 00:13:33.159
you what. You guys were the
best navigators for business when COVID yet and

217
00:13:33.360 --> 00:13:37.519
you want to talk about advocacy,
education and implementation, you guys did it

218
00:13:37.759 --> 00:13:43.360
well? Did We tried really want
to have that happen again to show yeah,

219
00:13:43.399 --> 00:13:46.159
the resources and you're you know that
was everybody was walking through that blind.

220
00:13:46.559 --> 00:13:50.360
But there are just so many resources
and so much to wade through,

221
00:13:50.360 --> 00:13:52.120
and just so much information, and
we really tried to sift through and tried

222
00:13:52.159 --> 00:13:56.240
to get out the most pertinent information
and an easy to quick understand because so

223
00:13:56.240 --> 00:13:58.879
many times you're reading it's like I
don't have three hours to wade through this

224
00:14:00.039 --> 00:14:03.480
us, and we did. We
worked really really hard during COVID to help

225
00:14:03.480 --> 00:14:05.159
our members and do things. If
you can get through that and you can

226
00:14:05.279 --> 00:14:09.919
navigate through a lot, lot of
different scenarios and a lot of different situations,

227
00:14:11.159 --> 00:14:13.840
that is, you guys do a
great job. Oh, thank you,

228
00:14:13.840 --> 00:14:18.000
you're so so kind. Now,
this nice little booklet that folks get,

229
00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:22.919
I shouldn't call it booklet looks like
the Encyclopedia magazine magazine that the newcomers

230
00:14:22.960 --> 00:14:26.840
get that right, you're getting ready
to maybe kind of look forward on that.

231
00:14:28.559 --> 00:14:31.440
Yes, we're looking for advertisers right
now, and that the reason that

232
00:14:31.440 --> 00:14:35.519
book looks so good is because of
our advertisers that they do great. They

233
00:14:35.559 --> 00:14:39.000
do cover our costs printing. People
don't realize how much printing is, especially

234
00:14:39.080 --> 00:14:41.440
the books one hundred and gosh,
I should know this sixty pages, I

235
00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:45.480
think, Yeah, But it covers
all aspects of our community. And then

236
00:14:45.480 --> 00:14:48.679
in the back it's a directory listing
of all of our members um which I

237
00:14:48.720 --> 00:14:52.440
love. But as soon as it's
printed, of course the day but because

238
00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:56.440
you know, new members join.
But but there's also an online directory so

239
00:14:56.480 --> 00:14:58.879
that's always up to date. Yeah. So, but yes, we are

240
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:03.200
looking for advertisers for this. UM. This is our we call it our

241
00:15:03.200 --> 00:15:07.080
relocation community guy. We use it
with obviously people relocating here, runing information

242
00:15:07.120 --> 00:15:11.600
about the community, but we also
give it tall our members. Just a

243
00:15:11.639 --> 00:15:15.399
great resource, good piece, beautifully
done. We do it in house.

244
00:15:15.440 --> 00:15:20.200
Trust Cruise does all our graphics does
a beautiful job. Spends hours, countless

245
00:15:20.200 --> 00:15:24.320
hours because we have to go back
and check all the information that's in there,

246
00:15:24.600 --> 00:15:28.080
which there's tons of information in there
regarding our community, make sure it's

247
00:15:28.080 --> 00:15:31.080
all still up to date. And
she has to design and then that directory

248
00:15:31.080 --> 00:15:35.360
part is a bear to do so, and we have new software this year.

249
00:15:35.399 --> 00:15:41.320
We've just switched software, so we're
on that that learning curve and it's

250
00:15:41.480 --> 00:15:46.039
like, oh gosh, lucky,
oh my gosh, what were we thinking.

251
00:15:46.120 --> 00:15:48.159
But but we've really needed to update
and it came with a new website.

252
00:15:48.159 --> 00:15:50.279
So now we have a new website
and I encourage I think we've got

253
00:15:50.360 --> 00:15:52.600
the kinks worked out. If not, please let us know if you see

254
00:15:52.600 --> 00:15:56.480
something weird. But um, go
to Bartlefield dot com. I love the

255
00:15:56.639 --> 00:16:00.759
video that's at the top. It's
like it just a running like a loop.

256
00:16:00.960 --> 00:16:04.360
Yeah, but oh man, protect
it portrays it portrays us so well.

257
00:16:04.679 --> 00:16:07.360
So Bartlesville dot com go check it
out. Next thing, you know,

258
00:16:07.399 --> 00:16:10.320
we're gonna have new neighbors. You're
going to take a look at that

259
00:16:10.360 --> 00:16:11.519
sea. I want to live exactly. That's what I'm trying to do.

260
00:16:12.919 --> 00:16:15.440
What we want, we want to
try our community. Well, let's we

261
00:16:15.480 --> 00:16:18.039
try really hard to do that and
you do great. Hey Shry, is

262
00:16:18.039 --> 00:16:22.159
there anything I missed? Just real
quick? On September seventh, at our

263
00:16:22.200 --> 00:16:23.159
next after hours, which will be
at the Hilton Garden End, we are

264
00:16:23.200 --> 00:16:27.720
going to be also incorporating a business
expo with that, so we want our

265
00:16:27.720 --> 00:16:32.480
members to the leachev a table or
not. Whoever wants the table, they

266
00:16:32.519 --> 00:16:34.120
want to register to do that,
they have a table, and it's just

267
00:16:34.159 --> 00:16:37.960
a great way to um once again, expose your opportunity, let people know

268
00:16:38.039 --> 00:16:41.080
what you have, what your services
are. And it was great. We

269
00:16:41.080 --> 00:16:45.120
did it about five years ago,
four years ago. We have to have

270
00:16:45.200 --> 00:16:47.399
a location that's big enough to do
it. Is why we don't do it

271
00:16:47.399 --> 00:16:48.840
every year. And I'm so excited
with the Hilton. Wanted to host an

272
00:16:48.879 --> 00:16:52.000
after hours, so that will be
going on on a September seventh. If

273
00:16:52.039 --> 00:16:56.799
you're interested in that, it's informations
on our website or call us three three

274
00:16:56.879 --> 00:16:59.799
six eight seven zero eight and we
can get you registered for that. All

275
00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:02.919
right, Hey, thanks for being
with it, absolutely thank you. My

276
00:17:03.000 --> 00:17:06.880
brother in law died suddenly and now
my sister and her kids have to sell

277
00:17:06.920 --> 00:17:11.000
their home. That's why I told
my husband we could not put off getting

278
00:17:11.039 --> 00:17:15.759
life insurance any longer. An agent
offered us a ten year, five hundred thousand dollar
