1
00:00:06.839 --> 00:00:09.320
Good morning, good morning, good
morning, and welcome, welcome, welcome.

2
00:00:09.519 --> 00:00:12.480
It is time now for our community
connection right here on K one.

3
00:00:13.320 --> 00:00:16.199
No one do you trust? And
we always talk to our friends at Trike

4
00:00:16.239 --> 00:00:20.320
County Tech about this time every month. We have a Champagne Canyon with us

5
00:00:20.399 --> 00:00:23.960
today and you're with the Business Development
the Foundation, I guess right here with

6
00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:28.280
the Tray County Tech. Tell us
a little bit about you and what the

7
00:00:28.359 --> 00:00:31.199
Foundation's all about a Tray County Tech. Hey, good morning, thank you

8
00:00:31.239 --> 00:00:35.399
for having me. So I've been
with Tri County for about four years and

9
00:00:35.479 --> 00:00:41.079
I transitioned from marketing into the foundation
just in January, and so my role

10
00:00:41.159 --> 00:00:45.640
really is trying to find creative ways
to tell the Tri County Tech Foundation's story.

11
00:00:45.880 --> 00:00:49.920
Well, you've got a fantastic story
as it is. Yes. First

12
00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:52.719
of all, you win all kinds
of awards out there. Yeah, our

13
00:00:52.840 --> 00:00:58.159
education is top notch, and we
get to turn students around quickly because it's

14
00:00:58.200 --> 00:01:02.479
all focused just on their trade and
their skill and their certificates. You know,

15
00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:08.400
it speaks wonders when we talk about
sometimes that you know it's time to

16
00:01:08.439 --> 00:01:11.079
sign up for classes and then we
find out, well you better get in

17
00:01:11.079 --> 00:01:14.599
here. Pretty early because they're going
fast. And then we find out,

18
00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:18.200
wow, we got a lot of
students. So that speaks well of the

19
00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:21.599
institution right there, because this happens
time and time, even during COVID,

20
00:01:21.799 --> 00:01:23.879
That's right, And that was probably
the thing that surprised me the most when

21
00:01:23.879 --> 00:01:26.920
I started working there. I just
kind of had the assumption that if you

22
00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:30.599
applied, you were able to get
in. And it surprised me to know

23
00:01:30.719 --> 00:01:34.439
that our high school programs fill up
quickly and that we have waiting lists for

24
00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:38.840
those, and same for our adult
programs too. We have them really long

25
00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:44.120
waiting list for cosmetology and LPN and
some of our more popular programs. For

26
00:01:44.120 --> 00:01:48.079
sure. You know, the high
school thing is one story that's a kind

27
00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:53.280
of a fast track for youngsters,
and that in and of itself is amazing.

28
00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:57.120
That's a good career exploration opportunity.
Oh god, you do it now,

29
00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:02.159
that's right before you spend nine years
in colleges trying to figure out,

30
00:02:02.239 --> 00:02:06.959
you know, what am I doing
exactly? And also the other thing is

31
00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:10.800
with the flex classes for adults,
right now, you're meeting people where they

32
00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:16.120
are and that is a tremendous story
because a lot of educational institutions are saying

33
00:02:16.479 --> 00:02:21.120
it's our way or the highway,
and that's not true here Trake. That's

34
00:02:21.159 --> 00:02:23.599
not true with us at all.
We offer full time programs during the day

35
00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:28.159
for some adults, and then we
also do flex programs with their nights and

36
00:02:28.280 --> 00:02:31.159
some weekends, and then we have
some short term classes that you know,

37
00:02:31.199 --> 00:02:36.719
are just a few months long depending
on the certification. And another great story

38
00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:39.120
that you know I've heard along the
way. You see, you know,

39
00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:44.159
I'm just an average guy and I'm
hearing these great stories about Trake County Tech.

40
00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:47.520
Okay, so when you walk into
old Tray County Tech, people already

41
00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:53.080
know about a handful and you know, we've got things going on now where

42
00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:59.639
the youngsters are and other people are
learning about aeronautics, and that is one

43
00:02:59.639 --> 00:03:01.360
of the big things in this state. People think it's just you know,

44
00:03:01.479 --> 00:03:06.159
cattle and gas and oil, and
it's not. We fly things here.

45
00:03:06.199 --> 00:03:08.919
We do. We have a new
drones and aviation program that we launched a

46
00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:14.039
year ago that's been really successful.
And yeah, we have a lot to

47
00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:16.639
offer everybody. It's not just you
know, welding in cosmetology. We have

48
00:03:17.599 --> 00:03:22.759
we have all kinds of programs.
You know something, Champagne, One of

49
00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:29.240
the things that I think is probably
the coolest story is that people who attend

50
00:03:30.039 --> 00:03:36.919
Trike County Tech don't walk away with
the burden of a huge debt. That's

51
00:03:36.919 --> 00:03:39.879
exactly right. How do you make
that work? So we the high school

52
00:03:39.879 --> 00:03:44.360
students get to attend for free,
and they get to come from their sending

53
00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:46.520
school part time, and so there
is no cost for them to do that,

54
00:03:47.159 --> 00:03:51.960
but the adult students do have to
pay a minimal tuition fee. We

55
00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:57.479
keep our prices very affordable, and
then we offer financial assistance through the foundation

56
00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:02.840
because we ceased accepting federal funding and
the forms of FASTA and PALED grants in

57
00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:10.800
twenty and fourteen. So our primary
focus for the foundation is to support our

58
00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:15.479
students with tuition and scholarships assistants,
and we do that without to you know,

59
00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:19.000
dance into a government tone. That's
that's incredible, and that goes back

60
00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:24.439
to you saying how quickly we can
turn students around and how good we are

61
00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:33.240
at getting students qualified and certified is
because we don't have the restrictive federal stuff.

62
00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:38.079
Oh wow, wow, that that
that even makes your story a lot

63
00:04:38.120 --> 00:04:43.639
more compelling. Here yes. And
another thing too, is that people actually

64
00:04:43.720 --> 00:04:48.399
walk away with the certificates for achievement
too, because our world has changed.

65
00:04:48.759 --> 00:04:51.439
Right, It's used to be you
had to go to college, you had

66
00:04:51.439 --> 00:04:55.319
to go to four years, and
you had to have this little big piece

67
00:04:55.319 --> 00:04:58.920
of paper that says I know how
to do this right. Well, right

68
00:04:58.959 --> 00:05:02.680
now you can take just a few
classes and be certified. That's right.

69
00:05:02.959 --> 00:05:06.480
Yeah, that's It's a big benefit
of coming to Try County Tech is just

70
00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:10.959
picking what it is that you want
to focus on and not taking any of

71
00:05:10.959 --> 00:05:17.120
the fluff and just knocking it out
knocking that's cool. That's cool. Now,

72
00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:21.079
when we talk business development, I
imagine you talk to a lot of

73
00:05:21.079 --> 00:05:27.800
our business partners in the community.
Yeah, we also offer customized training for

74
00:05:28.040 --> 00:05:33.519
some of our business partners as well. So that's another adult layer, but

75
00:05:33.680 --> 00:05:39.360
more for people who are already employed
who might be looking to just grow a

76
00:05:39.480 --> 00:05:43.040
skill that their company needs them to
grow on, and so there's customized training

77
00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:46.519
and leadership and safety training and stuff
like that too. That's beautiful because our

78
00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:55.959
community has such big employers, right
and with a lot of diverse opportunities for

79
00:05:56.160 --> 00:06:00.399
skill development and improvement with their employees. That they have. This is a

80
00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:03.319
marriage Maide in Bartlesville. Yeah,
we're very blessed by the community and the

81
00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:08.000
people that we work with and the
companies that work with us and that we

82
00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:13.319
work with. Now, I'm just
gonna guess that you've never had this happen

83
00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:19.360
to you because it's Trike County Tech
speaks so boldly in our community. You've

84
00:06:19.399 --> 00:06:23.920
never said, Hi, I'm Champagne
Kane and I'm with Trike County Tech,

85
00:06:23.959 --> 00:06:27.879
and they say Trike County Who,
because that just doesn't happen because everybody knows

86
00:06:27.920 --> 00:06:31.319
Trike County Tech. If you haven't
been there yourself, you probably have a

87
00:06:31.399 --> 00:06:35.319
kid or a grandkid who's attended,
or you might have maybe even just attended

88
00:06:35.319 --> 00:06:41.519
an event on campus because we do
host you know, community partners on campus

89
00:06:41.519 --> 00:06:44.680
as well. So if you haven't
been a student, you've probably at least

90
00:06:44.680 --> 00:06:46.600
been on campus. And if you
haven't, I would invite you to come

91
00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:53.360
out anytime and see our programs.
It's fun to see the kids really with

92
00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:56.959
the hands on learning. You know, our doors are open. Just stop

93
00:06:57.000 --> 00:07:00.560
by and take a tour. I'm
s happy to show your own We're Champagne

94
00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:02.959
out there at the track County Tech. If you're just doing the drive by,

95
00:07:03.439 --> 00:07:06.399
you say, oh, that's a
nice building, But if you go

96
00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:11.120
inside, you say, WHOA A
lot going on in here. We have

97
00:07:11.279 --> 00:07:15.439
state of the art technology and we
we keep our kids on the cutting edge

98
00:07:15.439 --> 00:07:21.120
of training. Oh that is that
is well worth the investment. And you

99
00:07:21.199 --> 00:07:26.600
know when we talk to a businesses
who may need, you know, certain

100
00:07:26.680 --> 00:07:31.639
skill sets of workers too. Were
also talking to folks who you might want

101
00:07:31.680 --> 00:07:35.199
to say, Hey, and an
investment in our schools, an investment in

102
00:07:35.199 --> 00:07:39.360
our community. It's an investment in
our workforce, and it's an investment in

103
00:07:39.399 --> 00:07:44.120
Bartlesville. Folks just can't say no
to that. You took the words right

104
00:07:44.160 --> 00:07:47.319
out of my mouth. I'll be
using that, but that's very true.

105
00:07:47.319 --> 00:07:51.720
We for the Foundation have donated just
last year loan over one hundred and seventy

106
00:07:51.720 --> 00:07:58.319
two thousand dollars in scholarships, and
we did around eighty three hundred dollars in

107
00:07:58.639 --> 00:08:03.480
emergency and food assistant and we assisted
our robotics team with their competition and registration

108
00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:09.199
fees. So we the foundation alone
reached about two hundred and fifty students last

109
00:08:09.240 --> 00:08:13.000
year. That's incredible. Yeah,
yeah, and then one hundred percent of

110
00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:18.199
our educators donate to our foundation,
which I think is something worth brogging about

111
00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:22.920
because we really do believe in what
we do and we put our money where

112
00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:26.680
our mouth is. You know,
you have such a great workforce yourself out

113
00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:33.480
there at Tri County Tech. The
Malcolm Baldridge Award is something that well,

114
00:08:33.559 --> 00:08:37.879
we have to start building some more
trophy cases because it just seems like you,

115
00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:41.799
oh, there's oh, look,
there's a war. And that's based

116
00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:46.159
on a lot of different criteria,
but the main thing is it's a great

117
00:08:46.200 --> 00:08:48.480
place to work. It's a great
place to work, and we've been voted

118
00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:52.679
a great place to work for a
number of years now. Yeah, And

119
00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:54.440
therefore you have people who stay around
a good long time, a lot of

120
00:08:54.480 --> 00:09:00.480
institutional knowledge. And what's really cool
about that is if you're a newcomer,

121
00:09:00.960 --> 00:09:05.759
you've got a ton of mentors.
Yes do. And when I started four

122
00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:09.759
years ago, i was struggling with
keeping up with everybody's names, and somebody

123
00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:13.159
reminded me that these people don't see
new people very often, and so it's

124
00:09:13.159 --> 00:09:18.159
easy for them to remember my name. It's me that has to learn the

125
00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:22.679
hundreds of other people's names because they
don't leave don't leave very often. That

126
00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:26.679
speaks well too. You know,
when we talk about Trike County Attack.

127
00:09:28.200 --> 00:09:31.200
If you have a student that's over
the age of fifteen in your home,

128
00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:37.559
chances are they've talked to mom and
dad or your garden about the opportunities at

129
00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:39.360
Trike County Tech. Have a fifteen
year old boy, if we had the

130
00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:43.720
conversations, yes, and you know, it's it's like a pie skippy and

131
00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:48.559
uh and what have you. And
it's one of those things where students kind

132
00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:50.360
of look at that is a is
a real cool thing. It's not like,

133
00:09:50.360 --> 00:09:54.519
oh, gosh, here's an here's
Mark School. They say, hey,

134
00:09:54.639 --> 00:09:58.080
look at that, that's Trike County
Tach. I can do something here.

135
00:09:58.200 --> 00:10:01.240
I can make a difference. We
try and treat our high school students

136
00:10:01.240 --> 00:10:03.799
like adults, and so for them
it's sort of an escape to get to

137
00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:09.879
go to a different campus and you
know, have the freedom of you know,

138
00:10:09.960 --> 00:10:13.080
being treated like an adult. And
you know what happens. They bring

139
00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:16.639
that back home and they bring that
back to school. You know, hey,

140
00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:22.519
I've got more responsibilities now, and
they start acting a lot more mature.

141
00:10:24.120 --> 00:10:28.360
You know, fifteen can go two
different ways. I'm not there yet,

142
00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:31.879
with my own personal kid. But
yes, what did that long ago?

143
00:10:31.919 --> 00:10:37.399
You were fifteen? Well now that
I wish, But anyway, it

144
00:10:37.879 --> 00:10:43.879
really is a good indicator here about
what the student's going to be like after

145
00:10:43.919 --> 00:10:46.720
they finished their time at Trying County
techn They go into it with all this

146
00:10:46.960 --> 00:10:52.360
enthusiasm, they come out of it
feeling a little bit more responsible and like,

147
00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:56.320
you know, they're important. Crowd. Yeah, very crowd. Yeah,

148
00:10:56.759 --> 00:10:58.919
that is that's kind of been kind
of rewarding to you and you it's

149
00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:05.480
that it's very rewarding just to help
students discover who they are and as adults,

150
00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:11.399
maybe to help them move from this
level to the next level of their

151
00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:15.159
potential because of the opportunities that they
have at Tri County. Now, we

152
00:11:15.279 --> 00:11:18.840
mentioned that we don't take any government
money, but we do fun things in

153
00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:24.679
order to help fund the school.
We've got a very nice fund ranger coming

154
00:11:24.759 --> 00:11:28.960
up. Yeah, at the end
of well the first of October, October

155
00:11:28.960 --> 00:11:31.879
fifth, it is, we're going
to host our first golf tournament out at

156
00:11:31.919 --> 00:11:37.159
Hillcrest Country Club and it'll be October
fifth, and it's a shotgun style tournaments

157
00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:41.360
with you know, food and prizes
and swag and merchandise and it's there aren't

158
00:11:41.399 --> 00:11:45.320
going to be any gimmicks, you
know, if you pay the price and

159
00:11:45.360 --> 00:11:48.759
then you just go have a nice
lunch and you play a nice round the

160
00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:52.120
golf, and we just want you
to have like a top ofch experience and

161
00:11:52.159 --> 00:11:56.360
we're really looking forward to it.
We've had a few title sponsors step up

162
00:11:56.360 --> 00:11:58.919
already, so I want to make
sure in US. I think Ascension,

163
00:11:58.960 --> 00:12:01.679
Saint John and DSR for being our
title sponsors. And then we also have

164
00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:07.159
a few sponsorships and teams still available. So you can go through our website

165
00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:11.559
to learn more about the tournament,
how to sponsor, how to register,

166
00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:15.840
and that's Tri County Tech, dot
ADU, slash Golf. Well, you

167
00:12:15.840 --> 00:12:18.200
picked the best time of the year
right right right soon as it hits October,

168
00:12:18.320 --> 00:12:22.600
ish starts to cool down. Just
to do that sweet spot, it's

169
00:12:22.639 --> 00:12:26.120
going to be. We're really excited. Oh yeah and this, and how

170
00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:31.360
many yeah teams do you think you've
Well, we'll do twenty two teams probably.

171
00:12:31.399 --> 00:12:33.799
We're just going to do an afternoon
shotgun okay, yep, just a

172
00:12:33.799 --> 00:12:39.919
little casual fun, just a little
casual fundraiser. Well, Hillcrest is a

173
00:12:39.919 --> 00:12:45.039
beautiful place to hold that too.
And and of course, boy they treat

174
00:12:45.080 --> 00:12:50.240
everybody like gold out there. Their
staff is just incredible. Yeah, we

175
00:12:50.279 --> 00:12:54.799
really want that experience for our for
our donors to come out and experience that,

176
00:12:56.000 --> 00:13:00.200
and yeah, I'm looking forward to
it. I mean feel really good

177
00:13:00.240 --> 00:13:03.120
about it. What else we got
going on? Well, recently we received

178
00:13:03.759 --> 00:13:13.320
a giant endowment from the Green Country
Free Clinic and that was announced last Friday,

179
00:13:13.360 --> 00:13:16.679
I believe the press release went out. So the Green Country Free Clinic

180
00:13:18.559 --> 00:13:24.639
is closing and they are giving their
assets to the Tri County Tech Foundation and

181
00:13:24.759 --> 00:13:28.960
they have named the endowment after their
founding director, Miss Sindra Preeble, and

182
00:13:30.080 --> 00:13:35.120
so this endowment will never end.
It will live in perpetuity. The money

183
00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:39.679
will never go away, and the
interest will be drawn every year and that

184
00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:43.480
interest will be used to fund nurses. Because Miss Cindra Freeble is in our

185
00:13:43.519 --> 00:13:50.159
inn and she started the clinic and
to carry her name on are we received

186
00:13:50.399 --> 00:13:54.120
a large endowment from them, and
so that's really exciting for us and exciting

187
00:13:54.159 --> 00:14:00.440
for our students because this will carry
probably about ten nursing students up the current

188
00:14:00.480 --> 00:14:05.600
interest rate every year. So this
will go on in perpetuity and it will

189
00:14:05.639 --> 00:14:09.080
be there long after I am,
which is amazing. Oh and we get

190
00:14:09.080 --> 00:14:11.600
to carry a little history along with
it too, that's right. Wow,

191
00:14:11.720 --> 00:14:18.679
I'm very excited about that. And
we've had a few new named scholarships as

192
00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:24.360
well recently, so we're really looking
to just grow our endowment because that's our

193
00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:31.159
primary source of funding since we don't
accept federal funds for scholarships. Now,

194
00:14:31.159 --> 00:14:37.519
how would someone who's just hearing this
and they've been maybe thinking about leaving something

195
00:14:37.600 --> 00:14:41.440
for when they're no longer here,
right, how do they get a hold

196
00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:45.320
of you is to kind of get
the ball rolling. Well, there are

197
00:14:45.320 --> 00:14:48.120
several ways to give. We of
course take one time gifts, or we

198
00:14:48.159 --> 00:14:52.039
can take recurring gifts that are just
monthly donations that will go towards our general

199
00:14:52.080 --> 00:14:58.279
funds and that will also assist with
some overhead, some emergency assistants, some

200
00:14:58.360 --> 00:15:03.159
food assistants, or it might go
towards scholarships. And you can do that

201
00:15:03.279 --> 00:15:07.480
online, in person or in the
mail, and that's at Tri County Tech

202
00:15:07.559 --> 00:15:11.240
dot EEDU, or you can visit
us in person at sixty one O one

203
00:15:11.320 --> 00:15:15.200
no Watter Road. You've can call
me anytime if you'd like to discuss,

204
00:15:15.960 --> 00:15:18.240
you know, a bequest or a
legacy gift, which would be our larger

205
00:15:18.279 --> 00:15:24.080
gifts. And you could also put
us down as a beneficiary of a life

206
00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:28.480
insurance policy, or you know,
we could be a recipient of your four

207
00:15:28.639 --> 00:15:31.759
one K funds, or if you
have an IRA, we can be a

208
00:15:33.799 --> 00:15:37.360
you can make a direct transfer to
a nonprofit and that could be part of

209
00:15:37.399 --> 00:15:41.720
your charitable distribution, which would be
tax free. So there's lots of ways

210
00:15:41.720 --> 00:15:45.600
to give to the foundation and we'll
accept them all. Well, it's great.

211
00:15:45.960 --> 00:15:48.720
So you've been a guy like me
who's not a millionaire, but I've

212
00:15:48.759 --> 00:15:52.600
lived very comfortably. If I see
fit to it, I can just be

213
00:15:52.639 --> 00:15:58.440
a regular monthly dollar. That's right. And we just launched the nineteen sixty

214
00:15:58.519 --> 00:16:02.960
nine Club because our foundation was established
in nineteen sixty nine and we're coming up

215
00:16:02.960 --> 00:16:07.120
on a big anniversary next year,
so we decided to establish in nineteen sixty

216
00:16:07.200 --> 00:16:11.200
nine club. And that's just anyone
who gives nineteen sixty nine or more a

217
00:16:11.279 --> 00:16:15.200
month can be a part of our
club and that will go into our general

218
00:16:15.200 --> 00:16:18.279
fund and help all of our students
not only with scholarships, but like I

219
00:16:18.279 --> 00:16:22.399
said, with emergency assistance or food
assistance as well. That's amazing. You

220
00:16:22.440 --> 00:16:26.399
know, Trake County Tech offers so
many different things and it is just well

221
00:16:26.440 --> 00:16:30.480
worth going to the website and taking
a look. Yeah, Tri County Tech

222
00:16:30.519 --> 00:16:34.320
dot edu slash foundation will get you
to the foundation page and then we have

223
00:16:34.399 --> 00:16:37.759
a lot of information there on who
we are, what we do, and

224
00:16:37.840 --> 00:16:41.919
how to give. So I'd encourage
you to go there and also check out

225
00:16:42.000 --> 00:16:47.159
our golf tournament page if you're interested
in golf. Indeed, is there anything

226
00:16:47.279 --> 00:16:49.440
we might have missed? Well?
I wanted just to make sure to thank

227
00:16:49.759 --> 00:16:53.240
some of our corporate sponsors. Do
that, zap them, you know,

228
00:16:53.600 --> 00:17:00.279
that's right. We have people who
give faithfully to the foundation, that's true,

229
00:17:00.360 --> 00:17:04.640
or Conico, AEP, Philip sixty
six, Chevron. We have partners

230
00:17:04.640 --> 00:17:10.359
with Quick Trip Ross and then the
Eastern Food Bank of Oklahoma also has a

231
00:17:10.400 --> 00:17:14.880
small pantry in our campus so that
students can come get on perishable food.

232
00:17:15.319 --> 00:17:18.960
So we have a lot of community
partners that I think we need to think

233
00:17:18.160 --> 00:17:22.880
and I'd also like to thank our
foundation board and our school board because they

234
00:17:22.920 --> 00:17:26.640
do a lot for our program.
Almo sounds like a family. It is

235
00:17:26.680 --> 00:17:32.599
a family. Out there in one
big coffee family or Champagne, thanks for

236
00:17:32.640 --> 00:17:34.200
being with us today. Thank you
for having me. I enjoyed it all

237
00:17:34.279 --> 00:17:37.880
right, and we've got to go. News coming up, and just a

238
00:17:37.880 --> 00:17:40.240
little bit right here on Gay one, the one you trust. You've been

239
00:17:40.279 --> 00:17:45.160
listening to our community connection with Champagne
Kane. She is with our good friends

240
00:17:45.160 --> 00:17:51.000
at Crike County Tech. How does
Tim Howel at Arnoldmore and the Camp Punla

241
00:17:51.079 --> 00:17:55.160
Home. No, he's done a
good job. After a funeral, I'll

242
00:17:55.200 --> 00:17:57.599
come in, I say, guys, great job. We really hit that

243
00:17:57.599 --> 00:18:00.759
out of the part today. The
family was well pleased. And that's the

244
00:18:00.799 --> 00:18:07.000
phrase right there, when a family
member tells me you made this experience so

245
00:18:07.119 --> 00:18:10.480
much easier than I thought it was
going to be. Thank you. That

246
00:18:10.839 --> 00:18:14.200
is the high five moment right there. And then six months later you run

247
00:18:14.200 --> 00:18:17.000
into them in a store or a
restaurant and they come up to you and

248
00:18:17.039 --> 00:18:18.319
shake your hand, put their arm
around your hug and say, this is

249
00:18:18.359 --> 00:18:22.200
our funeral director. He helped us
so much when dad died. He is

250
00:18:22.240 --> 00:18:26.160
a nice guy. His staff is
so compassionate and so caring. They did

251
00:18:26.200 --> 00:18:30.559
a great job. That is the
ultimate experience they've had time to grieve a

252
00:18:30.599 --> 00:18:33.720
little bit and reflect on what you've
done. And they come in and they're

253
00:18:33.759 --> 00:18:38.440
still on cloud nine because you help
them pay tribute to someone they really cared

254
00:18:38.480 --> 00:18:42.000
about. It'll be all right.
We'll walk through this together. Arnold Moore
