00:00:52.240 --> 00:00:56.719
here on our Facebook Live. And
so we got a couple of really great

9
00:00:56.759 --> 00:01:00.759
things that are getting ready to come
up here for the Civitan Club Bertelesville,

10
00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:07.040
speaking specifically of a paddle party.
What is that? Wow, Well,

11
00:01:07.519 --> 00:01:11.680
the paddle party is a lot of
fun. It's one of the most fun

12
00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:19.040
fundraisers in Bartlesville and it's held at
the Elks Lodge. It's a fundraiser the

13
00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:23.480
Civitans put on. Usually, the
Civitans do a lot of good work in

14
00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:27.040
the community, that's what they're all
about. But the paddle party is you

15
00:01:27.079 --> 00:01:32.200
buy a paddle with a number on
it and you bring a roll of quarters

16
00:01:32.280 --> 00:01:34.799
or buy them when you get there, and every every item is a quarter

17
00:01:34.879 --> 00:01:40.280
bet and if the number is drawn
and your paddle is drawn, you win

18
00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:48.599
that prize for a quarter and the
merchants money gift cards. There's so much

19
00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:52.079
fun, so many things you can
get for a quarter. And this year,

20
00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:57.959
this section of the fundraiser is for
Wayside School and Shay can tell you

21
00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:01.799
here what that's it's all about.
Here, Shay is we're both board members

22
00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:07.480
with Cibytan. So Shaye, what
is the fundraiser is for Wayside School.

23
00:02:07.599 --> 00:02:13.680
It's for Wayside School and it's going
to their Special ad department to get playground

24
00:02:13.719 --> 00:02:17.000
equipment for the special ads so they
can't use the same well not all of

25
00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:22.400
them can use the same playground equipment
as all the other kids. So they're

26
00:02:22.439 --> 00:02:27.639
going to have their own special playground
equipment that's handicap accessible. That's important too.

27
00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:30.719
Absolutely, that's a great thing to
be raising some money for me In

28
00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:36.800
Bartlesville. It's one of those kinds
of cities where we have that kind of

29
00:02:36.919 --> 00:02:42.080
playground. You know, the Civitans
built Dinosaur Park, that's the nickname for

30
00:02:42.199 --> 00:02:47.080
it for handicapped kids. Who would
think of such a thing except for Cibytan

31
00:02:47.159 --> 00:02:55.560
International, which is basically it's an
international club. There's thirty thousand Civitane clubs

32
00:02:55.840 --> 00:03:01.599
on the planet Earth, and every
one of them are dedicated to battering a

33
00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:07.919
community and serving the needs of the
people for disability, for any any kind

34
00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:14.919
of needs of community. We built
out here on the East Side the Senior

35
00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:21.080
Citizens Housing Housing Center. That's a
great thing. And of course it's not

36
00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:24.280
assisted living, but as long as
that you move out of your house into

37
00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:30.240
a smaller apartment. It's all senior
citizens. It's very unique. But the

38
00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:35.560
Civitan's fundraised for that. Wow,
that's a great thing. There's so many

39
00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:39.199
things that takes shocally. Sure,
Cibytian, you guys have been around for

40
00:03:39.319 --> 00:03:44.680
years and one hundred and six years
in Bartlesville, one hundred and six years.

41
00:03:44.759 --> 00:03:50.319
Yes. Well, the International International
okay I was wow, I started

42
00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:55.319
in nineteen seventeen. The headquarters for
it is in Birmingham, Alabama. Of

43
00:03:55.400 --> 00:04:00.800
all places. Who would ever think
of Alabama? Uh, you know,

44
00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:06.159
the center of such a national international
organization, But it is, and and

45
00:04:06.599 --> 00:04:12.960
it goes it branches out into all
the countries of the world, and every

46
00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:19.720
Civitan club is dedicated again to helping
with the community needs. If something is

47
00:04:20.120 --> 00:04:26.800
missing, the Civitans come in and
do it, specifically the id D community.

48
00:04:27.319 --> 00:04:31.480
That's right, it's it's so i
D D intellectually and developmentally disabled.

49
00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:34.360
There you go, there you go
for those who don't know what that actually

50
00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:39.879
mean. So, yeah, what
a great organization you are. I mean

51
00:04:39.920 --> 00:04:43.399
Dinosaur Park that is that is an
icon here. I know when it's that

52
00:04:43.519 --> 00:04:48.040
shade structure to do what it did. Lots of people were concerned about that,

53
00:04:48.120 --> 00:04:51.800
but I mean Civitan, you guys
do so many great things in the

54
00:04:51.839 --> 00:04:57.000
community. And you got this paddle
party I mean Way Science Special ad.

55
00:04:57.480 --> 00:05:00.800
Yes, you know. Panel party
is also really fun for kids. My

56
00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:03.639
girls ask every year when's the next
one. They love it because they can

57
00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:08.120
just throw their quarters in there and
try to win stuff and not rely on

58
00:05:08.199 --> 00:05:11.839
mom and dad's money to buy something. They go and it's only a quarter

59
00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:15.680
good order. I love that there
are some items if it's over a fifty

60
00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:19.040
dollars value that they actually auction off. I see. That's great even that.

61
00:05:19.240 --> 00:05:26.800
Yeah, there's large baskets of large
baskets of like a Mother's Day it's

62
00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:31.319
the May eleventh is the Saturday before
Mother's Day, and it's the perfect opportunity

63
00:05:31.800 --> 00:05:39.319
to come with the kids and win
something for Grandma the next day. Nice

64
00:05:39.399 --> 00:05:43.079
present if we can with your permission, they think can. What were some

65
00:05:43.160 --> 00:05:46.360
of the prizes that we've Yeah,
love it and there's some great prizes.

66
00:05:46.519 --> 00:05:49.920
And if you're a parent at Wayside, you will want to listen up to

67
00:05:49.959 --> 00:05:56.000
this one because you know how chaotic
the parking can be at Wayside, So

68
00:05:56.120 --> 00:06:00.279
you could win your own reserved parking
spot now year. That's on the list

69
00:06:01.399 --> 00:06:09.639
York, right. So another one
Vite's short stays is donating a two nights

70
00:06:09.639 --> 00:06:14.560
stay at their luxury cabin in Hoachatown, which is in the Broken Bow area.

71
00:06:14.759 --> 00:06:16.560
Yeah, that's nice. That's a
nice one. Yeah, and then

72
00:06:17.079 --> 00:06:25.040
that special getaway. Yes, Precision
Lawn Care is doing a Christmas light display,

73
00:06:25.160 --> 00:06:29.079
so they'll come out to your house
and measure and put the lights up

74
00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:31.079
and then come back out and take
them down. Right now, that's really

75
00:06:31.079 --> 00:06:35.279
good for senior citizens who like to
decorate. Busy parents, you don't have

76
00:06:35.319 --> 00:06:40.920
time to busy radio guys who just
never get to be at home. Yeah,

77
00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:45.560
it's the Barbles was never born Christmas. That's when I was a kid

78
00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:48.680
here, we went out to the
neighborhoods and nothing has changed. We still

79
00:06:48.720 --> 00:06:51.800
do that. It's wonderful. Yeah, that's a good item. That is

80
00:06:51.839 --> 00:06:58.040
a good item. And then let's
see here Honey's Flowers did a gift card.

81
00:06:58.240 --> 00:07:01.000
Honey's Flowers is so one, you
know, I use them every year

82
00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:06.959
for my blanket grave cover at the
cemetery out in Memorial Park. She comes

83
00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:13.319
across, she gets the best greenery. They used to be just you know,

84
00:07:13.959 --> 00:07:17.759
evergreen. Right, Honey has taken
to a new level. And I

85
00:07:17.800 --> 00:07:20.800
always like Honey's Flowers. That's good. She's a great eyed one to have

86
00:07:20.879 --> 00:07:26.000
on them. Yes. And another
fun one for the kids is Oky Tent

87
00:07:26.160 --> 00:07:30.480
Parties has donated a four person party. So they come out and they set

88
00:07:30.519 --> 00:07:34.920
up these little tents for the kids, and you pick a theme that you

89
00:07:34.959 --> 00:07:41.480
want the tents in. So there's
you know, thunder, basketball, football,

90
00:07:42.120 --> 00:07:46.120
Taylor Swift, princess, whatever you
want. And she comes in sets

91
00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:48.879
these little tints up for the kids
in your living room. And so that's

92
00:07:48.920 --> 00:07:54.079
a fun one in the living room
or you know, wherever you want to

93
00:07:54.120 --> 00:07:58.079
go together a little indoor it's like
an air mattress. And then it has

94
00:07:58.160 --> 00:08:01.319
like a little indoor tent over it. Let's take a sleep over. Oh

95
00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:07.240
yeah for sure. Yeah, let's
see what else was there. There's all

96
00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:11.959
kinds of baskets are being donated.
You're doing a dog there's a dog.

97
00:08:13.800 --> 00:08:18.000
Yes. I went out to tractor
Supply and I have collected all the best

98
00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:22.279
of the American made doggie treats.
The kindness, really good for dental,

99
00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:28.639
the greenies, the tastes of a
wild dog food, the stuff we can't

100
00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:33.399
afford, but it's really good for
our pets. It's a really great basket.

101
00:08:33.639 --> 00:08:35.480
And I put a puppy in there
just to make the kids go,

102
00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:39.360
Mama about that one. My daughter
will be bidding on them. That's a

103
00:08:39.399 --> 00:08:48.840
stuffed puppy basket. Is winning all
those doggy trees. It's over one hundred

104
00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:52.759
dollars in value. You can win
for a quarter. Actually, that would

105
00:08:52.799 --> 00:08:58.360
probably be an an auction. Yeah. Grace is donating a dinner for two

106
00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:01.919
at Hillcore Country Club. I can't
beat that. Yeah, it's one of

107
00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:05.919
the best meals I ever had in
Barteleos Fields out there, and they made

108
00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:11.840
a Cajun Alfredo sauce. I remember
eat that even knew New Orleans. It

109
00:09:11.960 --> 00:09:18.759
was great pex fit for Grace Farmer
An another Civitan. She's a friend of

110
00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:22.720
mine as well, lover but death. He'll staker in the mover for she's

111
00:09:22.759 --> 00:09:26.279
the one that gets me involved in
everything. Yeah, she's good at that,

112
00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:33.799
she is. She is. So
PEG's Custom Butchering donated a small bundle

113
00:09:33.840 --> 00:09:39.679
of meat, which is like at
least a seventy dollars value prices. Meat

114
00:09:39.679 --> 00:09:43.519
Market donated a gift card. You
know, barstool can't go wrong with our

115
00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:46.360
meat markets. No, they are
amazing, to the very best in Northeast

116
00:09:46.360 --> 00:09:52.480
Oklahoma. That's great. Absolutely.
Yeah. So every grade level at Wayside

117
00:09:52.799 --> 00:09:58.000
is donating a basket. So that's
at least seven baskets that are going to

118
00:09:58.039 --> 00:10:01.600
be there. I have no idea
what they're going to be, but I'm

119
00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:05.080
sure they'll be wonderful. I mean, I love how that is. Getting

120
00:10:05.120 --> 00:10:11.720
the kids that Wayside involves in their
own school means that's just great. You

121
00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:16.879
know, what a nice value to
learn in elementary school. Again, Civitan

122
00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:22.440
promotes good citizenship in the community,
and what a better way to start with

123
00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:26.679
young people and teaching them the value
of that right. And you've donated a

124
00:10:26.679 --> 00:10:31.600
Walmart gift card. Fifty always do
a Walmart gift card, you know Walmart

125
00:10:31.919 --> 00:10:35.639
shops at Walmart with that. I
used to not do it, but I

126
00:10:35.639 --> 00:10:39.159
lived in Austin. I have so
many other options. Well, there's so

127
00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:43.399
many other options. But here in
Martlosville. My friends said, mean,

128
00:10:43.519 --> 00:10:46.120
oh, we go to Barlowsville because
they have the best Walmart, and oh

129
00:10:46.159 --> 00:10:50.639
we do great. Well I think
so, it's a great Walmart. And

130
00:10:52.279 --> 00:10:56.679
so a fifty dollars gift card becomes
a lot of fun. And that's usually

131
00:10:56.679 --> 00:11:01.279
not an auction item. That's a
or a quarter you could get. But

132
00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:03.039
even a kid would love that.
Like, imagine a kid going in a

133
00:11:03.039 --> 00:11:07.200
Walmart with a fifty dollars yeah,
coming out with all tresmer my daughter.

134
00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:11.600
We'd have to give her a time. Okay, you've got less than thirty

135
00:11:11.679 --> 00:11:13.080
minutes, just been this because we
would be in there for two hours.

136
00:11:13.240 --> 00:11:18.799
Yes, yes, but what a
fun and creative way again, letting the

137
00:11:18.879 --> 00:11:24.279
kids get involved in a fundraiser for
their community good. Absolutely sure. And

138
00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:28.600
then Evans Nursery nursery one of the
best, one of the oldest nurseries in

139
00:11:28.679 --> 00:11:33.480

just wonderful and so we've got a gift

140
00:11:33.480 --> 00:11:39.440

00:11:39.720 --> 00:11:46.320
mister Evans died a few years ago, the family decided to change their format

142
00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:50.919
and the kids have kind of taken
over and they're wonderful and Vicky always a

143

00:13:31.159 --> 00:13:37.799
donating food, Aunt Pearl, the
legendary character, the character from Tuna Texas,

164
00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:43.279
I used to do all these public
appearances. I would do food well.

165
00:13:43.320 --> 00:13:48.039
Aunt Pearl made Texas prai leans for
years, and so I'm making a

166
00:13:48.080 --> 00:13:52.879
box full of Texas praileans to be
auctioned off and they are absolutely wonderful.

167
00:13:52.919 --> 00:13:56.480
I've had that recipe for years.
It's actually a tex mex and so it's

168
00:13:56.480 --> 00:14:01.840
going to be up for grabs an
auction. It's a whole box full of

169
00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:07.879
homemade PREI leaves by Aunt Pearl.
