00:00:05.360 --> 00:00:07.839
Good morning, good morning, good
morning, and welcome, welcome, welcome.

2
00:00:07.879 --> 00:00:11.160
It is time now for our community
connection right here on Kay one,

3
00:00:11.320 --> 00:00:15.560
the one you trust, and we're
used to have the Kawannas in with is

4
00:00:15.599 --> 00:00:20.839
today, not the entire Kawanas,
but at least Karen Wilson and Pat gambled

5
00:00:20.879 --> 00:00:24.600
in here with us today. And
ladies, we're getting a little bit of

6
00:00:24.600 --> 00:00:27.359
a two for going on today,
because two for the price of one,

7
00:00:27.519 --> 00:00:33.200
we got a lot going on,
we do see. And we're going to

8
00:00:33.320 --> 00:00:37.000
kick off the holiday season indeed,
though, well with a couple of different

9
00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:40.880
things. Let's let's go in sequential
order. First of all, we have

10
00:00:41.240 --> 00:00:44.960
a thing called Celebrate Giving, which
is kind of a cool thing. Yeah,

11
00:00:45.039 --> 00:00:49.000
we're so Kawanis is thrown a party. I like a party, and

12
00:00:49.679 --> 00:00:56.000
the honorees are the nonprofits in the
community. We started this last year and

13
00:00:56.119 --> 00:01:00.960
it was great fun and so this
is the second annual Celebrate Giving event.

14
00:01:02.119 --> 00:01:07.159
It's on November twenty seven, which
is the Monday after Thanksgiving, in a

15
00:01:07.239 --> 00:01:11.480
day before Giving Tuesday in fact,
so there's a little time to promote those

16
00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:15.680
kind of activities. Anyway, It'll
be at the Community Center or the Center,

17
00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:23.159
as we now know it, and
we'll have a room full of nonprofits

18
00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:33.480
with booths and fun things to share
with the community. It'll be information about

19
00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:37.719
what they do and even some goodies
and stuff. A good time to start

20
00:01:37.799 --> 00:01:40.959
Christmas shopping. You know. This
is really it was a lot of fun

21
00:01:41.079 --> 00:01:44.000
last year because you get to see
all your friends and you get to see

22
00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:47.760
folks you haven't seen for a while
too. And it really works out well

23
00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:52.480
because you get to learn to know
what each of the nonprofit and service organizations

24
00:01:52.519 --> 00:01:56.680
do around our community. We're blessed
to have so matting right and that's you

25
00:01:56.680 --> 00:02:00.000
know, and that is part of
the appeal of the part party, even

26
00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:05.879
to the nonprofits themselves, if they
get to learn about each other and do

27
00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:10.599
a little networking. For Kawanas,
it's one of our community service events and

28
00:02:10.840 --> 00:02:20.800
we've like to give presents and prizes
and so there are some contests involved that

29
00:02:21.479 --> 00:02:25.759
nonprofits can win cash and other prizes. But here's the deal, I mean,

30
00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:32.520
it makes we need people to come
and participate because there's some voting involved.

31
00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:38.719
I see, hha, some voting
that will result in more prizes.

32
00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:46.680
So it is there'll be food our
local FFAs Dewey and Bartlesville are going to

33
00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:53.159
be doing some fundraising themselves. They're
gonna have hot dogs and Sloppy Joe's and

34
00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:58.719
some other dinner items available. So
there'll be food. Some of the boosts

35
00:02:58.719 --> 00:03:04.240
will be offering food, mostly goodies
and that kind of thing. And yeah,

36
00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:07.759
so yeah, there'll be lots of
grab and go things. The parties

37
00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:12.800
from four to seven and it is
come and go and guess what, best

38
00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:16.240
of all, it's free. It's
free. You have live entertainment in a

39
00:03:16.319 --> 00:03:23.879
cash bar, Yes, yes,
sir, we do. We're still lining

40
00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:28.159
up the entertainment. Tom but the
ad libs are going to do a couple

41
00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:32.520
of numbers and so that'll be fun. And it'll be holiday music and we're

42
00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:39.000
gonna have some kiddos performing. We're
still confirming those. And who knows,

43
00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:42.879
Tom might come and sing a song. You never know. I'll be there

44
00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:46.280
to at least witness the event.
That'll right. Everything else I have to

45
00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:53.800
check with. That's right. So
anyway, on the shoulder. So it's

46
00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:58.159
it's it's a party, all right. That sounds great. It is a

47
00:03:58.240 --> 00:04:01.719
party. We're really excited. We'll
be you know, we know that some

48
00:04:01.800 --> 00:04:08.319
of the organizations have good ease that
they typically sell this time of year,

49
00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:13.479
and as we lead up to the
event, we'll be promoting more about you

50
00:04:13.520 --> 00:04:16.839
know, specifics that you can come
and come and grab at the party,

51
00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:21.319
but there'll be a lot more of
that to come. Sounds good. Sounds

52
00:04:21.319 --> 00:04:24.439
good. I'll talk to you about
the other thing a little bit later.

53
00:04:26.120 --> 00:04:29.680
Well, Pat Gamble is over there, just ready to burst because we're gonna

54
00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:31.720
be talking Christmas Preed here in a
moment. And on that note, we're

55
00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:35.319
going to take a quick break.
You just hang around because we got some

56
00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:41.120
real cool information about the Christmas preed
coming up with miss Pat after these words.

57
00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:46.000
First conversation I have with someone's loved
one, I don't care if it's

58
00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:49.160
three o'clock in the afternoon or three
o'clock in the morning, that first conversation

59
00:04:49.319 --> 00:04:54.000
is, mister X, this is
Tim how with one more kie camp you

60
00:04:54.079 --> 00:04:57.079
know home? First of all,
so let me say I'm very sorry we're

61
00:04:57.079 --> 00:05:01.439
having to have this conversation right now, and to the nth degree, those

62
00:05:01.480 --> 00:05:06.839
people always appreciate you taking a moment
to just pause and say I'm aware that

63
00:05:06.959 --> 00:05:12.839
someone you care about very much has
just left you, and I'm sorry that

64
00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:15.800
we have to do this, but
we have to do this. And if

65
00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:19.199
it's three o'clock in the morning,
I try to be brief but concise and

66
00:05:19.240 --> 00:05:24.240
say do you have any questions or
anything I can do for you right now

67
00:05:24.480 --> 00:05:28.040
before we meet at our arrangement conference. And sometimes I say, you know,

68
00:05:28.439 --> 00:05:30.639
can you call my priest? Can
you call my pastor? And I

69
00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:33.879
don't mind doing that. It'll be
all right. We'll walk through this together.

70
00:05:34.040 --> 00:05:39.879
Arnold Moore and the Camp Funeral Home, seven ten Dewey, Bartlesville,

71
00:05:40.120 --> 00:05:44.399
we will walk through this together.
Hey, everyone, this is Pastor Randall

72
00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:46.959
and Pastor Shiloh with Get Real Ministries, and this is your Get Real minute.

73
00:05:47.040 --> 00:05:50.480
Lest everyone has heard the scripture John
three sixteen, for God so love

74
00:05:50.560 --> 00:05:54.720
the world that he gave his only
begotten son, whosoever should believe in him

75
00:05:54.759 --> 00:05:58.199
should not perish, but have ever
lasting life. I believe that that scripture

76
00:05:58.279 --> 00:06:00.839
is really of no avail if not
followed by the very next scripture John three

77
00:06:01.000 --> 00:06:04.560
seventy, for God to not send
his son into the world to condemn the

78
00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:09.079
world, but that the world through
him might be saying. And that is

79
00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:13.399
the foundational scripture by which Get Real
Ministries was founded. Come worship Jesus with

80
00:06:13.519 --> 00:06:17.519
us Sundays ten thirty am, Wednesday
six thirty pm, Saturday night six pm,

81
00:06:17.639 --> 00:06:21.759
and Jesus further third Saturday every month. Jesus Burger is an outreach we

82
00:06:21.879 --> 00:06:25.800
do third Saturday of every month where
they receive the Word of God, the

83
00:06:25.839 --> 00:06:29.439
Love of God, free food,
free clothes, free to go food bugs.

84
00:06:29.519 --> 00:06:31.360
Come worship with us anytime you can
see it. You can visit us

85
00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:36.240

Ministry's page. Get Real Ministry Your Services

86
00:06:36.360 --> 00:06:43.040
Sunday at ten thirty am and Wednesdays
at six thirty pm. Is it time

87
00:06:43.079 --> 00:06:45.839
to start thinking about a new car? But the thought of dealing with the

88
00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:49.560
large dealerships is just too intimidating,
too confusing. There is an easier way

89
00:06:49.839 --> 00:06:55.000
ton Grass Motors. Tall Grass Motors
doesn't play all the confusing glaves a large

90
00:06:55.000 --> 00:06:59.720
dealerships play. Tall Grass Motors has
continually been voter budders Hill's best to used

91
00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:03.360
car year after year. Good Bye
tall Grass Motors today and enjoyed looking at

92
00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:09.040
over sixty used cars, trucks and
SUVs, all prized to save you money.

93
00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:16.279
Tall Grass Motors Highway seventy five North
in Bartlesville and we are back here

94
00:07:16.279 --> 00:07:23.160
on our community connection program with the
Kawanis Club, and we've talked about celebrate

95
00:07:23.240 --> 00:07:26.399
Giving, but now we're going to
talk a little bit about Christmas. It's

96
00:07:26.439 --> 00:07:29.879
never too early. I'm just saying
that right now, Pat Gamble, Hell,

97
00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:32.959
are you doing good morning? I
am doing well. And as Karen

98
00:07:33.040 --> 00:07:36.240
said, we are very excited to
kick off the holiday season this year.

99
00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:42.680
You know, I saw lights in
my neighborhood already real on the tree.

100
00:07:42.879 --> 00:07:46.560
Then I realized that it was Halloween
lights, but still got you in the

101
00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:49.560
mood for mood for Christmas. Ah. Now we've got a special team this

102
00:07:49.600 --> 00:07:54.600
year. When is it? Our
thing? This year is Christmas at the

103
00:07:54.759 --> 00:08:01.439
movies? And it is wide open, from White Christmas to toilet story to

104
00:08:03.160 --> 00:08:09.639
home alone, the Grinch that Stole
Christmas. Everything is open except for Santa

105
00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:18.000
Claus. Can it come as cousin
Eddie? I don't know. He's a

106
00:08:18.079 --> 00:08:22.000
little bit of a handful. But
we've got a great grand Marshal here because

107
00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:26.120
and I think everybody knows our grand
Marshal, Our grand Marshall is You're right.

108
00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:31.639
Everybody either knows him personally. I
knows about him because he's well known

109
00:08:31.920 --> 00:08:37.200
long time resident of Bartlesville and George
hawkyatas I've heard it said about him,

110
00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:41.799
he was a quiet person making a
loud noise for everything he does for the

111
00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:46.879
community. I would say it's about
right. He's kind of subtle but powerful.

112
00:08:48.759 --> 00:08:52.000
Yeah, and it all comes with
it's being kind of graceful, you

113
00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:56.799
know, absolutely, and talk about
talk about power. George has some power

114
00:08:58.279 --> 00:09:05.600
because he'll be coming to celebrate giving
and we'll be choosing a winner. I

115
00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:15.799
see how you guys, So he
does have power. Cool. The parade

116
00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:22.360
is actually Saturday, the second of
December. We have now made it always

117
00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:26.440
unless there's something really strange, the
first Saturday in December, and so it's

118
00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:31.679
it's on the calendar and registration is
online again this year at Bartlesville cowanas dot

119
00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:39.120
org. You can register online.
You can pay then, and we're asking

120
00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:43.639
because we have a wonderful parade announcer
that talks about all the cool things and

121
00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:48.039
cool floats and all the entries in
the parade. I think his name is

122
00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:52.759
Tom something like. He's been with
us several years. It was great,

123
00:09:54.399 --> 00:09:58.399
but but we are getting some information
up front this year. So your hash

124
00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:03.080
year was pretty good. They had
me hopping. It's good. It's really

125
00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:05.440
good, oh my, you know, and this is really a fun parade

126
00:10:05.480 --> 00:10:09.039
because it's in the evening. It's
in the evening, the lights are great

127
00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:16.120
just at dark. The floats line
up for two o'clock start at the Philip

128
00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:24.159
sixty six parking lot on right off
Armstrong and they have to be in line

129
00:10:24.200 --> 00:10:28.799
and ready for judging by four o'clock. And there are six different categories that

130
00:10:30.120 --> 00:10:33.919
entriests can win, business and nonprofit
and corporate sure and they get bragging rights

131
00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:39.600
and the sponsors get their names prominently
displayed on the banner in front of that

132
00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:43.720
winning entry, and so that's always
a good thing, all right, excuse

133
00:10:43.720 --> 00:10:48.480
me. You know, it's really
cool because you know, we get the

134
00:10:48.519 --> 00:10:52.159
word either they sent us attacks or
they sent us a nice person up to

135
00:10:52.200 --> 00:10:54.480
the second story of the r Best
building where we park our cameras and do

136
00:10:54.519 --> 00:11:00.799
our broadcast. And it's really neat
to answer coming in to announce what they

137
00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:05.440
want, and it just really makes
for a nice parade. It's amazing,

138
00:11:05.480 --> 00:11:09.200
how I think at the beginning of
August we started getting questions from people about

139
00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:13.840
the thing because they're already preparing their
floats. Oh I'm not curious about this.

140
00:11:15.039 --> 00:11:20.360
I'm not surprised at all. Now, if a company or a group

141
00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:24.440
or maybe even an individual wants to
be a part of this as a sponsor,

142
00:11:24.840 --> 00:11:28.799
how do they go about that?
Well, actually they can contact We

143
00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:33.360
will be contacting our long term sponsors. We have some businesses in town that

144
00:11:33.399 --> 00:11:39.759
have been sponsors for us for the
last thirteen years. They posted get the

145
00:11:39.799 --> 00:11:43.879
courtesy call. But anybody interested in
sponsoring in the parade can contact us at

146
00:11:45.080 --> 00:11:48.360
Bartlesville Kawanas dot org as well,
and then we'll reach back out to them.

147
00:11:50.039 --> 00:11:54.000
Now, this is going to be
a blast both if these events,

148
00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:58.159
and they're so close November twenty seven, right, and that'll be our celebrate

149
00:11:58.200 --> 00:12:03.759
Giving, which is right before Giving
Tuesday, and right after Thanksgiving holiday,

150
00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:09.200
and then boom, we've got the
Christmas Parade coming up. How do you

151
00:12:09.279 --> 00:12:18.639
ladies keep it together? You know, that's really a great question, because

152
00:12:18.519 --> 00:12:22.600
you know what, I think,
what we're known for, what Kuanas is

153
00:12:22.600 --> 00:12:26.960
known for in the community is we
do lots of community events. You do,

154
00:12:28.279 --> 00:12:31.480
and so we feel like we kind
of go from the Fourth of July

155
00:12:33.159 --> 00:12:37.600
to Christmas with only you know,
a quick but quick rest. But you

156
00:12:37.639 --> 00:12:41.440
know, we've got the fishing derby
in May. You know, we run

157
00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:48.679
sooner, Junior, but from May
through the end of September. In fact,

158
00:12:48.600 --> 00:12:52.360
not not this weekend, but next
weekend will be the close of the

159
00:12:54.840 --> 00:12:58.840
of the season. But then but
then we will have a big Halloween party

160
00:13:00.039 --> 00:13:03.559
at the end of October. So
we're kind of going year round. Didn't

161
00:13:03.559 --> 00:13:07.519
you forgot Freedom Fest? No,
No, fourth of July Freedom Fest.

162
00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:13.600
We believe me, we didn't forget
it. So after the Christmas Parade,

163
00:13:13.799 --> 00:13:18.720
you know, we'll kind of let
ourselves rest through the holidays and then it'll

164
00:13:18.759 --> 00:13:24.120
be Freedom Fest season. Well,
it's amazing and the Kawana's works so hard.

165
00:13:24.679 --> 00:13:28.120
The group worked for scholarships so for
a lot of students in the area,

166
00:13:28.559 --> 00:13:33.039
as we do. We have actually
several different categories, eighth grade scholarships,

167
00:13:33.320 --> 00:13:41.159
sophomore scholarships, and senior students scholarships. The seniors actually sophomores in town.

168
00:13:41.279 --> 00:13:46.320
Actually we do all of Washington County, so there are five different high

169
00:13:46.360 --> 00:13:52.360
schools for sophomores that can participate in
the scholarship program, and those winners actually

170
00:13:52.399 --> 00:13:58.919
go into the drawing or the recognition
at our district level and can win even

171
00:14:00.120 --> 00:14:07.159
more scholarship money at the Texas,
Oklahoma District Kawana's Club International. Right.

172
00:14:07.799 --> 00:14:11.080
You know they say Texas in Oklahoma
don't get along, but I don't believe

173
00:14:11.320 --> 00:14:18.919
we did. Everybody gets along and
everybody around the world gets along. That's

174
00:14:18.960 --> 00:14:20.759
the reason why you guys have been
so strong in our community. It's just

175
00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:26.399
togetherness and working forward to that common
goals. Maybe we yeah, we really

176
00:14:26.480 --> 00:14:31.519
enjoy it. I think we're in
in the near of our in the reach

177
00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:35.240
at the end of our time.
So I want to make one last pitch.

178
00:14:35.320 --> 00:14:41.840
We still have rooms room for nonprofits
to participate in this event. So

179
00:14:41.000 --> 00:14:46.200
if you work with a nonprofit or
on the board of a nonprofit, you

180
00:14:46.279 --> 00:14:50.639
need to check and make sure yours
is registered and they can go out to

181
00:14:50.720 --> 00:14:56.639
Bartlesville Kawanas dot org or call our
information line nine one eight nine seven seven

182
00:14:58.159 --> 00:15:03.679
thirty four hundred to leave a message
and we will get back to you and

183
00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:07.879
make sure we get registered. We
we try to send invites out to everybody

184
00:15:07.919 --> 00:15:13.879
we can think of, but contacts
change and sometimes somebody gets missed. And

185
00:15:13.919 --> 00:15:16.919
believe me, it's not intentional.
They've been around for one hundred years,

186
00:15:16.960 --> 00:15:20.279
so they've got a good start.
Folks. It's the Kwantas of Bartlesville.

187
00:15:20.279 --> 00:15:24.480
Thank you very much, ladies,
thank you, thank you Tom
