Absolutely get some advertising out of it. UM sponsorship 53 00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:46.840 start as low as two fifty UM go all the way up from there. 54 00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:52.360 If you want a full table, UM bring some friends, Yeah, that 55 00:03:52.800 --> 00:03:55.240 would be great. And then individual tickets are on there as well. If 56 00:03:55.280 --> 00:03:59.039 you have a request on who to sit by, we'll take that as well. 57 00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:01.319 Well. You know, this is a service that we do at well, 58 00:04:01.919 --> 00:04:06.199 I'm not part of the week by the community is involved with Samaritan Counseling. 59 00:04:06.479 --> 00:04:11.280 It's it's irreplaceable and we've got to make sure that this stays around a 60 00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:14.280 good long time. This is a great way to get it done. This 61 00:04:14.479 --> 00:04:19.160 is it's a great way to support and we've already had some great sponsors sign 62 00:04:19.279 --> 00:04:25.279 up. This is one of the most fun events that's held in Bartlesville. 63 00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:29.959 You get to wear your sports whatever days you want. One year, a 64 00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:32.279 couple of years. I wore something from a high school, but it doesn't 65 00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:38.879 matter. It's it's very casual. Thinks is going to serve us a great 66 00:04:38.959 --> 00:04:44.279 meal and it's just it's a fun environment. We've got some great live auction 67 00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:49.839 inside on auction items, but ultimately is to support Samaritan and our mission. 68 00:04:50.680 --> 00:05:00.720 And we serve about nine hundred people last year, about almost five thousand sessions. 69 00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:05.000 Wow, So you think it doesn't happen in Bartlesville, Well it does, 70 00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:11.079 and it's everywhere. It's it doesn't it doesn't know any boundaries exactly right. 71 00:05:11.160 --> 00:05:15.240 And so we you know, we pride ourselves on being able to serve 72 00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:19.879 people and help them with subsidies if they can't afford to pay. But it's 73 00:05:19.959 --> 00:05:26.240 things like Samaritan Sports spectActor that gives us ability to do that. And so 74 00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:32.199 it's we rely a lot on sponsorships, fundraising and uh, you know we're 75 00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:36.600 a big United Way We're one of their partner agencies and so they are a 76 00:05:36.600 --> 00:05:43.800 big supporter of ours. And so it's just it is a community based service. 77 00:05:44.319 --> 00:05:47.480 And Kristen, Uh, if I'm not mistaken, I heard through grape 78 00:05:47.480 --> 00:05:51.519 By. Actually I heard from people I know. We actually started doing telehealth 79 00:05:51.639 --> 00:05:56.319 for a lot of other people were doing it. Yeah, it was like 80 00:05:56.360 --> 00:06:01.360 the week following when Covid broke out. We've rolled that out real quick, 81 00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:06.519 started those services and we still have them available today for anyone interested in telehealth. 82 00:06:06.759 --> 00:06:11.160 So if that's just any kind of a clue as to how on the 83 00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:15.839 ball we are here at a Sumaritan counseling service and not leaving anybody in the 84 00:06:15.959 --> 00:06:21.160 orch because these are services people need. That should tell you just a real 85 00:06:21.240 --> 00:06:26.199 good indicator that you're not going to be forgotten when things get tough, right, 86 00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:31.480 So that's that's great. Where's the Lucian Samaritan smridan is right across from 87 00:06:31.519 --> 00:06:36.240 Center Park two four or five South Madison Boulevard. Alright, Larry, the 88 00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:40.800 services they're just incredible. Like you said, he served so many people, 89 00:06:41.560 --> 00:06:46.399 it is, and we've served from young to old. And we have family 90 00:06:46.519 --> 00:06:54.240 counseling, group counseling, mostly individual counseling, but some other things that we're 91 00:06:54.279 --> 00:06:58.639 looking at, you know, are going to benefit a wider range of people, 92 00:06:59.199 --> 00:07:02.240 in the wider range of needs. But right now, um, we 93 00:07:02.399 --> 00:07:08.360 have we have our handsful with what we have. Yeah, so you know, 94 00:07:08.399 --> 00:07:10.639 we need to take care of things and this is a great way to 95 00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:13.759 do it and have some fun while you're doing it, and loosen up that 96 00:07:13.920 --> 00:07:15.920 wallet for crying out loud. I mean, this is going for a great 97 00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:19.199 car. You're going to spend money on silly things one day, you might 98 00:07:19.240 --> 00:07:23.920 as well do for something good this day and keep the silly in your pocket. 99 00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:27.120 You know that's right. You can you can buy something good, buy 100 00:07:27.160 --> 00:07:30.680 a good trip. We've got we've got some great trips that are going to 101 00:07:30.759 --> 00:07:36.360 be included in our live auction. And just again it's uh, I'll use 102 00:07:36.439 --> 00:07:41.680 the old Roger Scaley term. It's not what you're giving, it's who you're 103 00:07:41.720 --> 00:07:46.079 given to. Guy. So it's not what you're buying, it's what you're 104 00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:49.600 giving to. So that's and for us, that's really the important thing. 105 00:07:49.680 --> 00:07:55.160 We'd like to see people's hands in the air. Oh yeah, yeah, 106 00:07:55.319 --> 00:07:58.639 I just don't do the old touchdown thing. You get bid twice. But 107 00:07:59.199 --> 00:08:01.399 if you really want that bad but we'll let you do it. We'll let 108 00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:05.879 you do it.
