so. We actually have partnered with Dismus Charities. Dismiss is the largest
re entry facility in America out of Kentucky. They open here last February.
They have forty eight different facilities across the country and they open here last February.
They partner with us right away because with PAROLEE the reentry rate when there's
no mentoring is between eighty and eighty four percent. Oh, Wow. With
mentoring, it drops down to twenty between twenty and twenty four percent. That's
awesome. So and that's what we do. We mentor and disciple and career
place paroles and yeah, so we're just very excited about this and this night

a Tuesday. I have Tom Gunlicks joining me. How are you sir,
good? Real good. I'm excited to chat with you about this on Wednesday,
the twenty second. So this is next Wednesday already, Holy col we
have a really fun event coming up at the social. Tell me a little
bit about the event. Well, this all started Mike Hendricks and a friend
of mine and I kept bumping into each other at funerals or get togethers,
and we said, we can't keep doing this. It might be our funeral
the next time we see each other. So we started a thing called Drinks
for No Reason. Here you go, and we literally have no reason,
just get together. Whether twelve people or whether we've had as many two hundred
show up, nice, and it's just to get together, stop in and
say hi, have a drink, leave, but just say hi, see
each other physically. And we've done it now for thirteen years, I believe.
And this next Wednesday we're going to do a Drinks for No Reason with
the cause nice. So there kind of is a reason. Well this time
I've said it before, it drinks for a reason with the cause. And
the reason in this case, though, is going to be a reunion.
It's going to be some of the bars I owned, starting with Night City
Gunners after five and o Pie's former clients, former employees, anyone that can
remember that far back. Yeah, it's quite a way for a lot of
us. And it's before my time, before I moved to Sioux Falls.
But I've heard so many wonderful stories about things that happened at many of those
places all my book that we talked about. So yeah, So it's just
doing a kind of reunion thing for that and then the cause. I can't
use names yet, that'll be announced the night of. But there is a
young woman that has a baby. Her husband and her got married in twenty
nineteen and he got cancer right away. Oh man, battle it for a
little over four years and died here a couple months ago. And they didn't
have life insurance, they had health insurance, but you know how that is,
as he was over in Mayo many times. So we're going to be
doing this for her and her baby. They had the baby about a year
ago through you know. But it's just going to be a get together.
Everyone will have fun. Brian Reese is going to be the DJ. He
was the DJ at Opie's in a couple of different places and so far,
the reach out it's been good. Sounds like a lot of old clients and
former employees are going to show up, quite a few of them. I
love Brian. I knew him as DJ or as mc kelly. That's how
Kelly. Yep. So every time I hear Brian rees, I would have
to connect the dots. Oh that's Brian mc kelly. Well, we get
together once in a while and had lunch and stuff like that. But he
wanted to do it. He really wanted to do it, dude. Yeah,
and I wanted someone to do it, so why not Brian? And
I think it's gonna be a lot of fun. It's six to ten a
week from Wednesday on the twenty second, the night before Thanksgiving. I know
for some people that'll make it rough, but a lot of people are coming
to town and they go, yeah, now we have something to do the
night before. I love that. And I'll tell you what. I think
you're going to discover that there are a lot of people who the night before
Thanksgiving are saying, you know, this is something we can go and do.
And the cool thing is it's for a good cause. You're going to
see friends that you haven't seen in a while. I mean everything about this
just seems like a really good idea, so I'm excited for it. Well,
it's no cover charge, just donations when you come there and they'll be
there will be alcohol. There will be beer and if you want one,
if you don't want one, just come in and say hi, connect with
some old faces, and we'll look forward to it. Here. It's six
to ten a week from Wednesday on the twenty second at the social and that's
right behind that one mall out there with Osted's in it to be the pocket.
Yeah, and I hope a lot of people can come, and I'll
throw a link on Facebook with all the details to make it really easy to
find. But I think it should be a really good time. And again,
when people are there, there's gonna be music, there's gonna be drinks,
but there's gonna be an opportunity to just chat and have fun as well.
Exactly, that's the main thing. So even though there is a reason
this time, it still kind of drinks for no reason, just get together
because hey, why not get together? And I love the fact that it's
also kind of a reunion for the different bars, and it's also for a
good cause. So just a lot of things all bundle together. If this
goes over welled, John, We'll be doing several of them next year for
charities and individuals or families that need help. Very nice, Tom, thanks
for putting your heart and soul into this. Well, thanks for having us
on. Yeah, absolutely again, it's coming up. It's not tomorrow,
but it's next Wednesday, the twenty second, which is the day before Thanksgiving.

Falls history, brought to you by the Sux Falls Fun Page, West Sue
Studios and Sunny ninety three eight point three. It was on this day,
November fourteenth, nineteen forty, the Sport Ball opens its doors for the first
time at Sue Falls. Not in the building you know it in now on
Burnside, but downtown, right in the heart of Sue Falls. It's amazing
as we researched Sue Falls past, just how many new businesses were started in
the nineteen thirties and the nineteen forties, during what historians call the Great Depression.
Well, it would seem the founders of the Sport Bowl found the perfect
way to fight that depression with good old family fun in a bowling alley.
A line of local owners have kept the business open since the doors first open
back in nineteen forty, from the always flamboyant Joe Floyd Senior, to both
Frank Maltes Senior and Frank Maltese Junior, then Al Stephen, Dave Parker,
mel Van Lear, Andy Anderson and Jeremy Sonfeld. At over eighty years old,
we wish Sport Bowl a happy birthday and hope they're here for another eighty
years. This day in Sue Falls history has been brought to you by the
