talk about it. You know, the

7
00:00:30.920 --> 00:00:35.119
Lions Club does so much for our
community, but we're kind of asking folks

8
00:00:35.119 --> 00:00:39.159
to maybe have a little bit of
fun and help the Lions Club as we

9
00:00:39.240 --> 00:00:41.920

so you don't have to make a reservation.

56
00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:28.759
Same price at the door, same
price, it doesn't go up.

57
00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:33.920
That's wonderful. And this fundraiser,
as well as our Christmas fundraiser, helps

58
00:04:33.920 --> 00:04:39.879
fund our local Vision projects, which
is very important to us near and dear

59
00:04:39.920 --> 00:04:43.839
to our hearts. We were in
how Many last a couple of weeks ago

60
00:04:43.959 --> 00:04:48.040
and met a fellow who he was
in his seventies. He received his very

61
00:04:48.040 --> 00:04:53.639
first pair of glasses from the Lions
Club when he was a youngster, and

62
00:04:53.800 --> 00:05:00.319
so we help provide eye exams and
prescription glasses for those who are need in

63
00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:03.040
our community. Of course we recycle. We do all the recycling as well.

64
00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:08.720
But we also have a project that
is kind of new. It's called

65
00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:14.240
kid Site and it's a national project. Is not just Bartlesville. This is

66
00:05:14.319 --> 00:05:19.319
our screening project that we take to
schools, daycares, public as well as

67
00:05:19.399 --> 00:05:25.639
private. And it's a retina camera
that when you place it about six feet

68
00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:30.680
from a child, we can screen
up to eighteen years of age only it's

69
00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:34.720
non invasive and you take a picture
of their eyes and we can screen for

70
00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:41.360
up to eight diseases of the eye. By doing this, we don't diagnose.

71
00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:46.600
We just we print out a report
and give it to the parent,

72
00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:48.920
or if we're in school, we
give it to the teachers to send home

73
00:05:48.959 --> 00:05:56.199
to the parent and it contains a
referral for is what is screened and where

74
00:05:56.199 --> 00:06:00.600
they may be deficient and then they
can take that to a doctor and get

75
00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:05.160
an exam. So that's really important
for us. Kids Site is an awesome,

76
00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:09.519
awesome project and we're just really glad
to be able to take it to

77
00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:13.319
the schools here. That's amazing.
It is, it's wonderful, and so

78
00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:17.160
these fundraisers are very important to give
us the funds to be able to do

79
00:06:17.199 --> 00:06:23.399
these things. And when you come
out to the pancake breakfast, if you've

80
00:06:23.399 --> 00:06:28.439
got some eyeglasses that you would like
to donate, please bring them. We

81
00:06:28.480 --> 00:06:34.519
are also collecting hearing aid, electronics
and electronics, so we appreciate any donations.

82
00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:41.199
And you know you On a personal
note, my mother had a really

83
00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:46.240
bad vision and so she went through
a lot of surgeries and I got to

84
00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:51.800
witness firsthand and now here I am
with glasses the importance of eye exams,

85
00:06:53.160 --> 00:06:59.720
eye care and being able to afford
glasses. I mean, can you imagine

86
00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:04.519
going through life without being able to
see? Wow. So it's very basic

87
00:07:05.560 --> 00:07:11.519
something that we need. So we
enjoy what we are doing. And like

88
00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:17.040
Ellen said, we have a good
time. I've never seen a lion sad.

89
00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:23.000
Your club has a lot of a
lot of pep, a lot of

90
00:07:23.040 --> 00:07:27.040
ambition, a lot of goal oriented
people, and a lot of fun folks

91
00:07:27.079 --> 00:07:30.399
do and I think we I probably
should have said fun first, but you

92
00:07:30.399 --> 00:07:32.639
know that's how it goes. But
you know, you can tell if you

93
00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:35.439
if you want to become a Lion, this is a great way to get

94
00:07:35.959 --> 00:07:40.879
introduced. Or if you have a
question or maybe you're thinking about joining a

95
00:07:40.920 --> 00:07:45.199
service club come out to the breakfast
on Saturday morning, and it is to

96
00:07:45.439 --> 00:07:47.759
ask a few questions and say howdy. I mean you're going to probably run

97
00:07:47.800 --> 00:07:51.600
into a lot of folks you know
already, Yes, absolutely, absolutely,

98
00:07:53.199 --> 00:07:57.839
And Christmas is coming up. We
put our tree lot up this week so

99
00:07:57.879 --> 00:08:01.199
we are ready. We're ready for
the delivery which will come from Michigan in

100
00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:05.639
probably ten days to two weeks.
And the cold weather kind of got us

101
00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:09.959
prepared for that. So we put
on our jackets, got the tree lot

102
00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:13.360
ready and we're expecting that delivery.
And this year, in addition to selling

103
00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:20.399
live Christmas trees from Michigan, we
will be selling live wreaths at the Treelot

104
00:08:20.519 --> 00:08:26.600
on Tuxedo Boulevard as well as two
Saturdays in December, December two and December

105
00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:33.240
ninth at the Christmas in the Ville. Nice so nice. We will have

106
00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:37.720
a presence down there and these are
all live wreaths, and so we're really

107
00:08:37.720 --> 00:08:43.480
glad for the people who help us
purchase the items for their families. It's

108
00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:46.159
just a win win for us to
be able to provide this for the community.

109
00:08:46.519 --> 00:08:50.879
Oh, this is going to be
so nice. We got the big

110
00:08:50.919 --> 00:08:54.879
breakfast coming up trees coming in wreaths
on top of that, and this is

111
00:08:56.000 --> 00:08:58.200
just going to be a sweet time
a year for it. It is again

112
00:08:58.279 --> 00:09:05.080
another fun time. We have multi
generations that have come out to our Christmas

113
00:09:05.159 --> 00:09:09.279
tree lot and we get to hear
the stories about when they were kids and

114
00:09:09.320 --> 00:09:13.879
the grandkids and then now they're bringing
their kids out. So again it's it's

115
00:09:13.960 --> 00:09:18.480
just very rewarding work. But as
it is said, if you do what

116
00:09:18.519 --> 00:09:24.440
you love, it's not like work
at all. This is not like work

117
00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:28.759
because we enjoy it and to see
the fruits of our labor. We have

118
00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:35.080
a great team, really great team
of volunteers and so come join us.

119
00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:41.000
All right now, Evelyn, I
understand we had a couple of upgrades to

120
00:09:41.039 --> 00:09:46.399
the clubhouse. Yes, oh my, our clubhouse has been totally totally renovated

121
00:09:46.919 --> 00:09:52.919
from top to bottom. New bathrooms, new flooring, new ceilings, new

122
00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:58.000
lighting, new electric which now we
don't blow fuses when we're getting when we're

123
00:09:58.039 --> 00:10:01.840
serving up pancakes, we need to
have it. We had to make sure

124
00:10:01.879 --> 00:10:07.879
that we were spreading those, so
we have new electrical. The building is

125
00:10:07.480 --> 00:10:11.080
We don't make money from the building
rental, but we do use it of

126
00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:16.399
course for our club meetings as well
as our pancake breakfasts. We rented out

127
00:10:16.440 --> 00:10:22.440
to groups, families, people who
need a place to have an inexpensive We

128
00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:26.679
keep the prices reasonable. Need a
place for a party, a shower,

129
00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:33.559
waiting reception, it's a great place
to rent. We've got the playground that's

130
00:10:33.679 --> 00:10:37.240
right outside the door, just a
few steps away, so it's great for

131
00:10:37.320 --> 00:10:41.440
family reunions. And rentals are being
taken from now to the end of the

132
00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:45.799
year course, and we're already booking
into twenty twenty four, so if you

133
00:10:45.840 --> 00:10:50.519
book in November or December, I
know a lot of our weekends are already

134
00:10:50.519 --> 00:10:54.840
booked, but there are still some
available. So you can call for any

135
00:10:54.919 --> 00:11:01.799
questions about Lions or the rental information
is nine one eight three one nine seven

136
00:11:01.080 --> 00:11:05.919
one zero and that number will get
you in touch with a Lion and you

137
00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:09.679
can find out more information about the
club, rental and everything else that we

138
00:11:09.720 --> 00:11:15.279
do. My goodness sakes one called
at all huh yes and a real person

139
00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:18.639
answer yes. And it's a great
place to have business meetings as well.

140
00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:26.639
And we have a big full kitchen. I mean it's it's really pretty.

141
00:11:26.759 --> 00:11:31.399
We really have access bathrooms, so
I'm glad for that. And when it

142
00:11:31.399 --> 00:11:33.320
gets warm, you've got a beautiful
park there for the kids to burn off

143
00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:37.720
all that energy. And even when
it's cold, you know they will do

144
00:11:37.759 --> 00:11:43.200
that. They will. They see
that they're going put on the gloves on

145
00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:46.879
the talking adults with adults, let's
go play, go burn off some energy.

146
00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:50.759
They're not limited by the weather.
No, no, they're not.

147
00:11:50.960 --> 00:11:54.320
They just don't want to have a
good I don't know if the community knows,

148
00:11:54.360 --> 00:11:58.000
but there's adult exercise equipment out there
as well, so we did not

149
00:11:58.200 --> 00:12:01.600
know that. When you're running by, if you're doing your three hog run

150
00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:05.399
or whatever, stop in. There's
Yeah, there's a chin up, there's

151
00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:11.440
a a push up bar some and
there's instructions on the equipment so you can

152
00:12:11.519 --> 00:12:16.360
tell exactly how to use it.
So that's good because you know, I

153
00:12:16.399 --> 00:12:20.519
need instruction after the pancake, after
the pancake breakfast, you have to work

154
00:12:20.600 --> 00:12:24.000
some of it off. Yeah,
yeah, yeah, in moderation. There

155
00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:26.919
you go. Well, this is
great. So November fourth, be out

156
00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:33.159
there at the Clubhouse on Tuxedo and
we'll see you there from seven thirty thirty

157
00:12:33.279 --> 00:12:39.440
to eleven am at seven dollars for
adults, for for kids, and of

158
00:12:39.440 --> 00:12:43.159
course we've got the Christmas trees coming
out, same darn place and just about

159
00:12:43.200 --> 00:12:48.440
two weeks to ten days they'll be
ready to go. And don't forget the

160
00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:50.840
wreaths, because we have wreaths this
year, not only there, but also

161
00:12:50.879 --> 00:12:56.200
a couple of days downtown at Christmas
in thevill Why did you guys get around?

162
00:12:56.639 --> 00:13:00.840
We do. And the lot opens
the day after Thanksgiving, that's traditionally

163
00:13:00.879 --> 00:13:07.480
for us, always the day after
Thanksgiving November twenty fourth, and our first

164
00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:11.799
weekend that we're open. We sell
usually close to half of our inventory.

165
00:13:11.919 --> 00:13:16.720
So you don't want to wait to
get your tree. We'll show you how

166
00:13:16.720 --> 00:13:20.279
to keep it nice, keep all
the needles on it if you don't want

167
00:13:20.320 --> 00:13:24.360
to put it up right away.
But yeah, come out and purchase it,

168
00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:28.039
and I'll just mention too. The
wreaths are a great, great way

169
00:13:28.120 --> 00:13:31.320
if you're thinking of someone who's shut
in, someone in a nursing home,

170
00:13:33.159 --> 00:13:37.320
or someone who can't care for a
live tree, get them a wreath and

171
00:13:37.360 --> 00:13:41.360
you can decorate it and that brings
a little bit of that spirit Christmas spirit

172
00:13:41.399 --> 00:13:45.600
in the home for those who can't
have a live tree. And the smells,

173
00:13:46.799 --> 00:13:50.360
and along with the Christmas trees,
we also have the tree stand.

174
00:13:50.639 --> 00:13:56.720
We have the bags which are great
for disposing of it. And people that

175
00:13:56.759 --> 00:14:03.279
come back every year tell us how
fresh these trees are, how long they

176
00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:07.600
live once come off the truck with
a little bit of snow still from Michigan.

177
00:14:07.080 --> 00:14:11.080
One lady, after looking over our
tree light, she said, well,

178
00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:13.120
what do you spray your trees with? And I said, uh,

179
00:14:13.639 --> 00:14:20.559
water, and that's all. So. Actually, the day after Friday out

180
00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:24.960
there at the tree light is basically
green Friday. Right, Okay, got
