00:00:08.960 --> 00:00:12.560
And welcome, Welcome, welcome.
It is the time now for our community

2
00:00:12.560 --> 00:00:18.559
connection right here on K one,
the one you trust and Martin Williams with

3
00:00:18.760 --> 00:00:23.359
us here today is with the Paternel
Order of Eagles, and not the band,

4
00:00:23.839 --> 00:00:27.440
but the band of brothers and sisters
that have a good time. I

5
00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:29.800
had done there on the second Street. Hey you doing, Martin, I'm

6
00:00:29.839 --> 00:00:34.799
good. Hey. You recently had
a fund raiser for a family and it

7
00:00:34.840 --> 00:00:39.119
went We're pretty good. And once
again it seems like the Eagles are always

8
00:00:39.159 --> 00:00:41.479
in the thick of things, trying
to get things done, try to take

9
00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:44.280
care of things. You kind of
quietly do it. And it's kind of

10
00:00:44.320 --> 00:00:46.240
a neat thing too. I tell
you, guys, go out and beat

11
00:00:46.280 --> 00:00:49.640
your chance and you say, hey, we're doing something for somebody needs something,

12
00:00:49.719 --> 00:00:52.479
let's get her done. I kind
of like that. That's kind of

13
00:00:52.520 --> 00:00:55.880
how it works. We kind of
keep to ourselves a little bit, and

14
00:00:56.520 --> 00:01:00.119
we don't we don't advertise a lot, you know. And we're looking for

15
00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:03.159
some more bingo players to come in
the Bingo Hall, and we're looking for

16
00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:07.040
new members. There's a men's side
of it, there's a women's side of

17
00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:12.760
it. The women's side they have
meetings twice a month. Men have meetings

18
00:01:12.760 --> 00:01:18.680
four times a month on Thursdays at
seven thirty. We run you through a

19
00:01:18.760 --> 00:01:22.840
process and do a background check and
that's how you become a member. So

20
00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:27.799
we we old Bengos Mondays and Fridays
at six thirty there at the Bingo Hall,

21
00:01:27.959 --> 00:01:33.879
just a block north of Hideaway Pizza, and we're a non smoking facility.

22
00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:38.879
We have there's two big breaks in
the in the Bingo session and that

23
00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:42.640
gives you plenty of time to go
outside and smoke a cigarette if you want

24
00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:46.799
to, and we have a good
time. Oh yeah, you do.

25
00:01:47.239 --> 00:01:52.200
The carns outside kind of indicate that
it's quite popular, right if the if

26
00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:55.040
the parking lot right in front of
the Bingo Hall is full, you just

27
00:01:55.079 --> 00:01:57.879
go through the alley and there's another
parking lot back there in the back that

28
00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:00.719
you're more than welcome to park.
And there's cameras face and all of it.

29
00:02:01.599 --> 00:02:06.959
Bartisoa Police Department patrols it pretty often, Sheriff's Department and they patrol it.

30
00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:12.120
So it's pretty safe, darn good, you know. And the thing

31
00:02:12.240 --> 00:02:15.759
is with the Paturnal Order of Eagles, you guys have a lot of fun,

32
00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:19.879
but you have a lot of fun
doing good work. You do,

33
00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:23.840
I mean, and it shows I
haven't met an unhappy eagle. I don't

34
00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:27.560
think you'll find an unhappy time.
I don't think I will either, not

35
00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:30.360
with our group. You guys have
fun. Now, do you have like

36
00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:35.639
an initiation program? I know that
you have to go through the background check

37
00:02:35.719 --> 00:02:38.199
or something like that, But do
you have a like certain times of the

38
00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:40.680
year where you go for members and
and things like that, or so just

39
00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:46.599
as you as as you feel the
will to and the need to come out

40
00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:50.000
branch out, and you know,
that's really what it is. We've got

41
00:02:50.039 --> 00:02:53.680
a We've got a pamphlet that you
fill out. You come to one of

42
00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:59.080
the guys that's an Eagle and they
have to sponsor you, and you fill

43
00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:04.280
out this pamphlet. If you're a
veteran or first responder, you kind of

44
00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:07.159
get a break on your initiation fees
and stuff. Back in the old days,

45
00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:10.439
they made you write a goat whenever
you they brought you in. This

46
00:03:10.639 --> 00:03:15.479
was one of the stories. The
National President came down a couple of months

47
00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:20.879
ago and my brother Jacob Blum and
I we we took him around to some

48
00:03:20.919 --> 00:03:23.360
of the really cool things here in
Barnesville and here in Washington County, in

49
00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:29.000
Osage County, and he sat there
and showed us the pictures of this old

50
00:03:29.039 --> 00:03:32.080
goat that they had. They had
them ride and it's a it's a mechanical

51
00:03:32.120 --> 00:03:37.159
goat, it's not a live one, and it's really neat how some of

52
00:03:37.199 --> 00:03:42.840
the old old stuff works. So
but here telling you something. We're gon

53
00:03:43.039 --> 00:03:49.400
we're doing May fourth. We're holding
a a bingo for the Sheriff's department.

54
00:03:49.639 --> 00:03:53.000
Oh great, May the fourth be
with you May the fourth. So it's

55
00:03:53.080 --> 00:04:00.319
it's a Saturday. They've got bingo
tickets they're selling. Oh good. You

56
00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:03.800
can come down to the Bartisville Eagles
Friday. You can buy some tickets down

57
00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:09.360
there if you want, Or just
stop there at the Sheriff's department there at

58
00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:13.039
the front desk and talk to those
ladies there and they can sell you a

59
00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:15.360
ticket. Well, you know,
this is the kind of a ticket you

60
00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:18.319
wouldn't mind getting from a deputy.
No, no, these are fun tickets.

61
00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:23.240
These a fun ticket. And you
know the sheriff's a jury. The

62
00:04:23.279 --> 00:04:28.439
Sheriff's have fun. They do so
many good things that the Eagles are would

63
00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:31.920
like to, you know, help
foster to the Thanksgiving and the Christmas stuff.

64
00:04:32.680 --> 00:04:39.240
So the Sheriff's department what this fundraisers
for is they have a Christmas basket,

65
00:04:40.279 --> 00:04:44.920
Dell. The way it was explained
to me is they have they buy

66
00:04:44.959 --> 00:04:49.959
the kids toys and clothes and then
they have a food basket that they give

67
00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:55.199
out and they kind of have a
Christmas party for those families. And I'm

68
00:04:55.199 --> 00:04:58.480
not for sure if it was twenty
five to the thirty five, somewhere in

69
00:04:58.519 --> 00:05:01.639
that number, I'm for sure.
So this bingo ticket that they're selling is

70
00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:08.079
fifteen dollars or it is twenty dollars
at the door. Well, the Eagles

71
00:05:08.079 --> 00:05:12.839
are gonna cook hamburgers, have all
the fixings and stuff. You get a

72
00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:16.720
hamburger and chips for seven dollars and
then you're you'll buy a drink out of

73
00:05:16.759 --> 00:05:20.680
our concession stand that's like a dollar
fifty or something. And yeah, yeah,

74
00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:24.800
and it's it's good. It's good. The hamburger is gonna be really

75
00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:27.480
good. The last time we done
this, the hamburgers were very good.

76
00:05:27.759 --> 00:05:30.600
They grilling back there at the back
on charcoal. It's really a good time.

77
00:05:31.160 --> 00:05:35.439
So and and it's like I said
earlier, we're a non smoking facility,

78
00:05:35.519 --> 00:05:41.240
so don't worry about coming in there
and and leaving smelling like a cigarette.

79
00:05:41.240 --> 00:05:46.040
We we we we don't allow vaping
in there either. So it's a

80
00:05:46.040 --> 00:05:48.839
good time and everybody enjoys it.
Sheriff's department, I think they're going to

81
00:05:48.920 --> 00:05:54.279
have a really good time with it. So well, we'll we'll do a

82
00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:56.800
good job. Well, I'm sure
that you will. I'm sure, but

83
00:05:57.360 --> 00:06:00.800
I imagine the whole town's going to
spell those burgers cooking on the grill.

84
00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:03.560
Yeah, that'd be a calling card. Oh yeah, follow your nose,

85
00:06:03.639 --> 00:06:06.759
man, Yes, sir, I
can do. I can just get a

86
00:06:06.759 --> 00:06:11.959
whip that right now, just in
my imaginary. Yeah. So that's only

87
00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:15.319
seven dollars for that, and you're
drinking a little bit extraly, not too

88
00:06:15.399 --> 00:06:20.720
much, but that also helps out
with your expenses and the Sheriff's office too.

89
00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:26.519
Yep. It's it's nice to be
able to partner with the Sheriff's department

90
00:06:26.600 --> 00:06:31.000
on something like this. It a
lot of people think that we're just a

91
00:06:31.079 --> 00:06:34.480
drinking haul or something, or a
bar, and we do have a bar

92
00:06:34.519 --> 00:06:39.240
in the back, but it's nothing
like what some of the people think here

93
00:06:39.240 --> 00:06:43.319
in Bartisville. We it's it's there
if you want any Yeah, it's not

94
00:06:43.480 --> 00:06:46.639
something that everybody's gonna be and it's
not we're not open to the public on

95
00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:47.680
that side of it. You have
to be a member to be in that

96
00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:53.480
part of it. So but Jerry's
gonna cook hamburgers him and Jack Scott.

97
00:06:53.480 --> 00:06:57.879
I'm sure they're gonna do a good
job cooking them hamburgers all evening. So

98
00:06:58.959 --> 00:07:02.120
we'll we'll and joy it. So
well, this is great. Now,

99
00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:06.519
tell everybody where you are, because
some of the folks that might have caught

100
00:07:06.639 --> 00:07:10.839
wind of it, but they didn't
catch everything. Can you tell everybody where

101
00:07:10.959 --> 00:07:16.480
you can be found. So we're
we're at a one ten West Second Street,

102
00:07:17.160 --> 00:07:23.399
just one block north of Hideaway Pizza. We're in like a cream and

103
00:07:23.839 --> 00:07:30.160
bluish green till building kind of looks
old. There's a sign there on one

104
00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:33.079
of our parking lots and it says
that it's owned by that parking lot is

105
00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:38.360
owned by the bank, Harvest Bank. But you're more than welcome to park

106
00:07:38.360 --> 00:07:43.079
there for bingo and its costs anything
to park. And then if that parking

107
00:07:43.120 --> 00:07:46.639
lot's full, you can drive straight
through it to the alley and there's another

108
00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:51.240
parking lot that we actually own and
it's empty most of the time, and

109
00:07:51.279 --> 00:07:56.360
you can just part back there righty. And if folks want to give you

110
00:07:56.360 --> 00:07:59.319
a call, can they do that
to say no more? Do you have

111
00:07:59.319 --> 00:08:01.439
a Facebook? Really? Is?
We have a Facebook page and that's really

112
00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:05.079
where you get your infraration. Yep. Yeah, just follow that Facebook page.

113
00:08:05.079 --> 00:08:09.199
You go on there, click like
or follow. So last week we

114
00:08:09.240 --> 00:08:13.879
did a big deal where we gave
out it was a it was a it

115
00:08:13.959 --> 00:08:18.439
was really a free roll. The
last person to comment. We had a

116
00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:22.560
time set up, and the last
person to comment when we commented stopped.

117
00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:28.560
That person won a free roll to
every one of our bingo games and it

118
00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:31.679
equaled out to be like ninety five
dollars that day. The girl that won

119
00:08:31.799 --> 00:08:35.039
it, she was from Pahusca.
We don't even know her. She's actually

120
00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:39.200
a new player, which was really
cool. Welcome to the club. Yeah,

121
00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:43.559
she she enjoyed it. She got
a free roll. We're probably gonna

122
00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:46.879
start doing that once a month and
it's really it's a good thing. It

123
00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:52.279
gets our Facebook page some some movements, so yeah, that's good. Yeah,

124
00:08:52.279 --> 00:08:54.320
I tell you what. Hey,
