I mean we had everything from jewelry to lawnmowers to recliners or tables 8 00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:31.440 to I mean something for everybody. It was. It was great. So 9 00:00:31.600 --> 00:00:35.799 yeah, and now you've got something good. Well more more events coming up. 10 00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:39.119 Yes, Bart's Valet's Connection. We never stop. We always have lots 11 00:00:39.119 --> 00:00:42.719 of great things going. And Um, a week from Thursday is our next 12 00:00:42.759 --> 00:00:45.880 one and it's going to be a Heart Matters and so we're calling it the 13 00:00:45.960 --> 00:00:51.600 Heart of it All. That kind of makes sense exactly. And uh, 14 00:00:52.039 --> 00:00:56.759 what what our program is going to be? Um, Pam and Chris Bennett 15 00:00:56.960 --> 00:01:00.240 and they they do puppet presentations. Their businesses is called Room at His Table 16 00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:04.359 their organization is and they just do wonderful puppet presentation. So they're going to 17 00:01:04.439 --> 00:01:08.439 do something kind of fun for us, for Barbsbilet's connection of course Heart Matters 18 00:01:08.519 --> 00:01:12.719 is gonna make us feel welcome at their wonderful facility. And then we have 19 00:01:12.760 --> 00:01:17.799 our inspirational speaker, and she's coming to us from Flower Mound, Texas. 20 00:01:18.319 --> 00:01:21.120 So I'm not sure I haven't heard her if she has an X in or 21 00:01:21.159 --> 00:01:23.879 not, but we're gonna bring her up here, bring that Texan up and 22 00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:29.319 she's going to talk to us about chaos needs a color chart, so I 23 00:01:29.359 --> 00:01:32.680 mean we might have our favorite colors. I don't know, but anyway, 24 00:01:32.719 --> 00:01:34.439 she's going to try and put it all together and make some sense of things. 25 00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:38.000 So it's that she's an author and blogger who loves cycling, gardening, 26 00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:42.319 cooking, and crafts. She has a marketing degree from Texas A and M. 27 00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:46.280 We won't hold that against her, so she'll be speaking by the time 28 00:01:46.359 --> 00:01:49.840 she gets exactly exactly. But now Shelley should be fun. So now we 29 00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:53.200 have it. We have a great luncheon coming up again. It's a week 30 00:01:53.239 --> 00:01:57.799 from Thursday, August tenth, and it's just ten dollars for lunch and we 31 00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:00.359 invite any ladies who want to come to join us. It will be a 32 00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:04.400 great time. We just need you to RSVP by next Tuesday, a week 33 00:02:04.439 --> 00:02:07.840 from tomorrow is our deadline for RSVPs because we do need to turn an infre 34 00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:10.919 catering and things like that, and we do need exact numbers. So you 35 00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:14.560 know, go ahead and make your reservation. If it looks like at the 36 00:02:14.639 --> 00:02:17.400 last minute you can't come, please cancel because we have to pay for all 37 00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:23.039 of our reservations and things that we do when you cater things in so so 38 00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:25.199 yeah, but we'd love to have people come. It really is a good 39 00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:30.520 time. If people say, what is Bartlesville's Connection, It's an organization that's 40 00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:34.680 in this community for the last oh, I don't know, forty years, 41 00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:38.400 maybe something like that. They we're actually the parent organization of it is eighty 42 00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:42.000 five years old because they're celebrating their eighty fifth anniversary this year. But here 43 00:02:42.039 --> 00:02:45.599 in town it's been maybe half of that or something, I think so. 44 00:02:45.879 --> 00:02:49.960 But yeah, it's it's a ladies who get together, Ladies from all different 45 00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:54.039 ages and all different interests and all different churches and we come together and just 46 00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:59.639 kind of connect to each other, try and do something encouraging, to always 47 00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:04.280 have a good message of encouragement for ladies. Um, it always is faith 48 00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:07.680 based too, and so UM we don't shy away from that that. We 49 00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:09.960 do want to encourage people in their faith as well, and UM, we 50 00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:14.800 don't push them towards one certain church, but we do um to having a 51 00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:17.960 faith walk and we think that that's really important, that that's where people get 52 00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:21.919 their hope, that's where they get their love, that's where they get um 53 00:03:22.280 --> 00:03:25.240 grace from is through their faith walk. And so so we try and encourage 54 00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:29.560 that a lot. But we do. If you'd like to know more about 55 00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:30.759 it, give us a call here at the RAI station. We've got some 56 00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:35.159 flyers for it and we'll be glad to take a reservation as well and get 57 00:03:35.240 --> 00:03:38.199 you signed up for it. Um and uh. And it's just a really 58 00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:45.680 good time. Then once a year we invite men to come. You guys 59 00:03:45.759 --> 00:03:47.560 get to come too.

Yeah, they 67 00:04:15.040 --> 00:04:17.879 are going to come and talk about gun safety and so I think that'll be 68 00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:23.040 really interesting. And then our music and our message will both be performed by 69 00:04:23.120 --> 00:04:27.040 a veteran himself.
