<v Speaker 3>Absolutely, we've had the best here yet and I'm so

9
00:00:21.079 --> 00:00:21.920
<v Speaker 3>excited to be here.

10
00:00:21.960 --> 00:00:22.839
<v Speaker 4>Thank you for having me.

11
00:00:23.280 --> 00:00:27.000
<v Speaker 2>Let's start off with the golf tournament, because my goodness sakes,

12
00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:27.760
<v Speaker 2>that was a whopper.

13
00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:28.239
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

14
00:00:28.280 --> 00:00:30.039
<v Speaker 3>So last time I was here, we were just getting

15
00:00:30.120 --> 00:00:33.399
<v Speaker 3>ready to have that event, and so we completed that

16
00:00:33.439 --> 00:00:37.000
<v Speaker 3>in October and we raised thirty four five hundred dollars.

17
00:00:37.520 --> 00:00:38.600
<v Speaker 3>So we're very proud of that.

18
00:00:38.759 --> 00:00:40.399
<v Speaker 4>Well, very good, very successful.

19
00:00:40.479 --> 00:00:43.200
<v Speaker 2>Goodness sakes, lots of great sponsors, a lot of good

20
00:00:43.560 --> 00:00:46.200
<v Speaker 2>people that shined up and played and put down the

21
00:00:46.240 --> 00:00:47.200
<v Speaker 2>money and just had fun.

22
00:00:47.320 --> 00:00:49.320
<v Speaker 3>We couldn't have done it without our sponsors, of course,

23
00:00:49.320 --> 00:00:53.119
<v Speaker 3>and that was a sense an ascension Saint John's Harvest Truity.

24
00:00:54.119 --> 00:00:58.240
<v Speaker 4>Who else did we have your culture coach? And then

25
00:00:58.359 --> 00:00:59.719
<v Speaker 4>be okay. Financial Wow.

26
00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:01.719
<v Speaker 2>So we had a good time and we had some

27
00:01:01.759 --> 00:01:04.760
<v Speaker 2>good folks out there helping us out too. I just

28
00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:08.640
<v Speaker 2>saw you recently at Celebrate Giving and that was a

29
00:01:08.680 --> 00:01:10.799
<v Speaker 2>wonderful event. That's a good place to be seen.

30
00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:12.200
<v Speaker 4>I was going to bring that up too.

31
00:01:12.280 --> 00:01:14.599
<v Speaker 3>Yes, we ran into each other last week and it's

32
00:01:14.959 --> 00:01:17.760
<v Speaker 3>fun to get out in the community, connect with other nonprofits,

33
00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:20.319
<v Speaker 3>make sure everybody knows who we are and what we do.

34
00:01:20.519 --> 00:01:23.640
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, my goodness. Thanks. We get some great news.

35
00:01:24.200 --> 00:01:25.200
<v Speaker 1>What did we do last year?

36
00:01:25.480 --> 00:01:26.840
<v Speaker 4>How did we do last year?

37
00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:30.079
<v Speaker 3>We finished out contributing about two hundred and twenty one

38
00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:33.200
<v Speaker 3>thousand dollars towards tuition and then emergency aid and food

39
00:01:33.200 --> 00:01:36.400
<v Speaker 3>assistance in robotics. So wow, be great, and I think

40
00:01:36.439 --> 00:01:38.719
<v Speaker 3>this year right on track for that. We're wrapping up

41
00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:41.239
<v Speaker 3>our numbers, will wrap those up in December and announce

42
00:01:41.239 --> 00:01:42.000
<v Speaker 3>them in January.

43
00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:43.040
<v Speaker 1>So that's good.

44
00:01:43.159 --> 00:01:46.599
<v Speaker 2>And you see the things like the golf tournament endowments

45
00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:49.159
<v Speaker 2>and other things like that, and your Financial Gift School

46
00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:51.239
<v Speaker 2>a long way to help our students here locally.

47
00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:52.959
<v Speaker 1>We've got some big news.

48
00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:54.760
<v Speaker 2>We kind of jumped the gun a little bit and

49
00:01:54.799 --> 00:01:58.719
<v Speaker 2>we announced it yesterday about how the new Emerald Endowment prom.

50
00:01:58.560 --> 00:02:02.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, the aural indowment from Beast. Yes, their family has

51
00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:06.640
<v Speaker 3>been so generous. You know, they have been in Bartisville

52
00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:09.360
<v Speaker 3>for a while. He came here as an immigrants with

53
00:02:09.400 --> 00:02:11.800
<v Speaker 3>his wife and his children in a couple of suitcases,

54
00:02:11.879 --> 00:02:15.280
<v Speaker 3>and he's established business in Bartisville. He loves Bartisville, he

55
00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:18.520
<v Speaker 3>loves America, he loves education, and they're just a very

56
00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:22.080
<v Speaker 3>generous family and we were very grateful to be to

57
00:02:22.120 --> 00:02:24.360
<v Speaker 3>be rewarded with memory gifts.

58
00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:26.800
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know, those things go a long way. And

59
00:02:26.840 --> 00:02:29.960
<v Speaker 2>of course I can't think of a better couple to remember,

60
00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:33.520
<v Speaker 2>you know, because they were just so hooked into our

61
00:02:33.520 --> 00:02:34.120
<v Speaker 2>community and.

62
00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:38.120
<v Speaker 1>Everybody just loved him. We still do. But if you have.

63
00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:42.879
<v Speaker 2>A wish later on down the road, folks, to maybe

64
00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:45.039
<v Speaker 2>create a gift that keeps on giving an endowment, it's

65
00:02:45.039 --> 00:02:46.240
<v Speaker 2>a pretty good thing to think.

66
00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:47.080
<v Speaker 1>About, is Yeah.

67
00:02:47.159 --> 00:02:50.599
<v Speaker 3>Endowments are unique in that we don't touch the principal gift.

68
00:02:50.719 --> 00:02:53.599
<v Speaker 3>We just save that money and then we draw interest

69
00:02:53.639 --> 00:02:55.759
<v Speaker 3>on it, and so your gift will go in perpetuity.

70
00:02:56.319 --> 00:02:59.120
<v Speaker 3>We've been around for fifty five years, We're not going anywhere,

71
00:02:59.240 --> 00:03:02.120
<v Speaker 3>so we'll be drawing interest off of this gift for

72
00:03:03.039 --> 00:03:06.879
<v Speaker 3>another lifetime and it'll be providing assistance to students every year.

73
00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:09.400
<v Speaker 2>Well that's great. All people have to do is get

74
00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:11.800
<v Speaker 2>a hold of you through the website or even just

75
00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:12.439
<v Speaker 2>give you a call.

76
00:03:12.520 --> 00:03:14.639
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, set up an appointment. You can explain the whole

77
00:03:14.639 --> 00:03:15.439
<v Speaker 1>thing to them. Catch you.

78
00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:16.840
<v Speaker 4>I'd be happy to I bet you.

79
00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:20.280
<v Speaker 2>What what other good news do we have coming out

80
00:03:20.280 --> 00:03:21.879
<v Speaker 2>of Craig County check out in the foundation.

81
00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:25.240
<v Speaker 3>Well, so we were coming up on Giving Tuesday, that's

82
00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:28.759
<v Speaker 3>our next big campaign. Wrapped up the golf tournament, launching

83
00:03:28.759 --> 00:03:31.159
<v Speaker 3>into our end of the year campaign, so letters went out,

84
00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:34.479
<v Speaker 3>postcards went out for IRA gifts. But Giving Tuesday is

85
00:03:34.479 --> 00:03:37.000
<v Speaker 3>the next big push, which will be the Tuesday following

86
00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:42.199
<v Speaker 3>Thanksgiving this year that's late December third, but we're looking

87
00:03:42.240 --> 00:03:44.719
<v Speaker 3>forward to that. We sent set a goal of five

88
00:03:44.719 --> 00:03:47.840
<v Speaker 3>thousand dollars to raise in twenty four hours. But this

89
00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:52.360
<v Speaker 3>is a national Day of giving, right It follows Black Friday,

90
00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:55.319
<v Speaker 3>Cyber Monday, and then Giving Tuesday is how that all

91
00:03:55.439 --> 00:03:57.879
<v Speaker 3>kind of is established and we're excited to participate in

92
00:03:57.919 --> 00:04:00.800
<v Speaker 3>that day. And so we're posting a lot on social

93
00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:04.000
<v Speaker 3>media so that you know who we are again what

94
00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:06.520
<v Speaker 3>we do, and then if you give on that day,

95
00:04:06.520 --> 00:04:07.680
<v Speaker 3>that'll count towards our goal.

96
00:04:08.120 --> 00:04:10.280
<v Speaker 2>I know a lot of people who make a review

97
00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:13.800
<v Speaker 2>of these things because they're always looking for you're in giving,

98
00:04:14.360 --> 00:04:16.680
<v Speaker 2>and this is a great way to kind of you

99
00:04:17.160 --> 00:04:20.480
<v Speaker 2>do good work for your community and for those who

100
00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:23.600
<v Speaker 2>need a little help, and also maybe help yourself a

101
00:04:23.639 --> 00:04:25.839
<v Speaker 2>little bit on your taxes as well, so it works

102
00:04:25.879 --> 00:04:27.040
<v Speaker 2>for everyone.

103
00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:27.879
<v Speaker 4>Involved, that's right.

104
00:04:27.879 --> 00:04:30.160
<v Speaker 3>There's a lot of smart ways to give as well

105
00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:33.839
<v Speaker 3>to I mentioned the IRA postcard that went out a

106
00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:37.360
<v Speaker 3>couple of weeks ago, So anybody over seventy and a

107
00:04:37.439 --> 00:04:40.240
<v Speaker 3>half years old who has a required minimum distribution that

108
00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:42.720
<v Speaker 3>they have to take from their IRA can contact their

109
00:04:42.759 --> 00:04:46.279
<v Speaker 3>administrator and have a gift given directly to the Tri

110
00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:49.600
<v Speaker 3>County Tech Foundation, therefore avoiding taxes because they're not receiving

111
00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:52.680
<v Speaker 3>that income. So that's a really smart way to give.

112
00:04:52.879 --> 00:04:55.000
<v Speaker 3>If you have an IRA and you need to take

113
00:04:57.120 --> 00:04:58.800
<v Speaker 3>a remainder gift.

114
00:04:59.079 --> 00:05:01.800
<v Speaker 1>Wow, that's good. Covering all the bases.

115
00:05:02.319 --> 00:05:03.079
<v Speaker 4>Lots of ways to go.

116
00:05:03.319 --> 00:05:06.839
<v Speaker 3>There's the donor advised funds, which are growing in popularity.

117
00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:10.560
<v Speaker 3>It's sort of like a charity savings account. You can

118
00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:12.879
<v Speaker 3>put in that money at any time. If you need

119
00:05:12.920 --> 00:05:15.560
<v Speaker 3>to donate to a charity, you just donate to your

120
00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:17.920
<v Speaker 3>donor advice fund, and then you can withdraw that gift

121
00:05:17.959 --> 00:05:20.560
<v Speaker 3>and give it to somebody at any date in the future.

122
00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:22.439
<v Speaker 1>Oh wow, that's smart.

123
00:05:24.279 --> 00:05:26.720
<v Speaker 3>There's also the simplest way to do it would be

124
00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:29.480
<v Speaker 3>to leave us in your will or trust. Of course,

125
00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:32.839
<v Speaker 3>another way that's really clever that most people don't think about,

126
00:05:32.879 --> 00:05:34.839
<v Speaker 3>that cost a little at the time but has great

127
00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:37.000
<v Speaker 3>reward is to name us as a beneficiary of a

128
00:05:37.040 --> 00:05:40.519
<v Speaker 3>life insurance policy or four oh one k, you know,

129
00:05:40.560 --> 00:05:43.040
<v Speaker 3>twenty dollars a month here, and then there's a payout

130
00:05:42.920 --> 00:05:44.600
<v Speaker 3>at the end of your lifetime.

131
00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:46.839
<v Speaker 4>So that's also an easy way to do it.

132
00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:51.439
<v Speaker 3>And that particular way avoids probate in state courts, so

133
00:05:51.560 --> 00:05:53.040
<v Speaker 3>that's super easy as well.

134
00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:55.519
<v Speaker 1>My goodness sakes, got it all covered.

135
00:05:55.920 --> 00:05:59.120
<v Speaker 2>Col People wonder a little bit just about what the

136
00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:02.199
<v Speaker 2>foundation covers, well a lot. You know, we're Tried County Tech.

137
00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:05.040
<v Speaker 2>We're right here in our community. There are student needs

138
00:06:05.240 --> 00:06:07.759
<v Speaker 2>and there are school needs, and you kind of put

139
00:06:07.759 --> 00:06:10.000
<v Speaker 2>them all together and sort them all out.

140
00:06:09.839 --> 00:06:10.199
<v Speaker 1>Don't you.

141
00:06:10.439 --> 00:06:14.439
<v Speaker 3>So through the Tri County Tech it collects taxes and

142
00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:16.360
<v Speaker 3>that's what provides for the school.

143
00:06:16.600 --> 00:06:17.000
<v Speaker 1>It does.

144
00:06:17.199 --> 00:06:21.759
<v Speaker 3>The Foundation covers the students, so we cover tuition assistance

145
00:06:21.800 --> 00:06:23.680
<v Speaker 3>for our adult students.

146
00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:24.600
<v Speaker 4>Who are in need.

147
00:06:24.680 --> 00:06:28.639
<v Speaker 3>We also cover emergency aid. So if somebody gets a

148
00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:31.040
<v Speaker 3>flat tire and they're not able to come to school,

149
00:06:31.160 --> 00:06:33.319
<v Speaker 3>we want to fix that for them, and we might

150
00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:36.040
<v Speaker 3>do that in our automotive service program.

151
00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:38.319
<v Speaker 4>So that provides our students with experience.

152
00:06:39.079 --> 00:06:41.439
<v Speaker 3>It gets our students tire fixed so that they can

153
00:06:41.480 --> 00:06:44.519
<v Speaker 3>stay in school. We also provide food. Of course, if

154
00:06:44.519 --> 00:06:48.040
<v Speaker 3>you're hungry, it's hard to focus on studies. So the

155
00:06:48.079 --> 00:06:51.120
<v Speaker 3>Foundation really wants to wrap the whole student and support

156
00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:53.680
<v Speaker 3>in order to get them through the program so that

157
00:06:53.720 --> 00:06:56.759
<v Speaker 3>they can be successful and go on to be contributing

158
00:06:56.800 --> 00:06:57.759
<v Speaker 3>members of society.

159
00:06:58.279 --> 00:07:00.920
<v Speaker 2>I've lived in this community for six years, and you

160
00:07:00.920 --> 00:07:04.560
<v Speaker 2>know what, I have yet to meet a graduating Trick

161
00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:07.439
<v Speaker 2>County Tech student wowed money at the.

162
00:07:07.439 --> 00:07:12.079
<v Speaker 1>End of their time. Yes, and that is just a

163
00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:13.199
<v Speaker 1>cool thing to say.

164
00:07:13.680 --> 00:07:16.879
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I got an education, I've got a quality education.

165
00:07:16.959 --> 00:07:17.279
<v Speaker 1>Guess what.

166
00:07:17.680 --> 00:07:20.480
<v Speaker 2>I have a much better job now than what I

167
00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:21.360
<v Speaker 2>had before.

168
00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:22.319
<v Speaker 1>I went to Try County Tech.

169
00:07:22.319 --> 00:07:25.720
<v Speaker 2>And on top of that, I don't owe a soul

170
00:07:26.040 --> 00:07:26.920
<v Speaker 2>anything anymore.

171
00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:27.319
<v Speaker 1>That's right.

172
00:07:27.360 --> 00:07:29.759
<v Speaker 3>Our goal is for our students to leave debt free.

173
00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:33.480
<v Speaker 3>We keep the cost of tuition low on purpose because

174
00:07:33.480 --> 00:07:36.920
<v Speaker 3>we want them to come in, get skilled, and get

175
00:07:36.920 --> 00:07:39.160
<v Speaker 3>on with their life, right. We don't want to keep

176
00:07:39.199 --> 00:07:40.639
<v Speaker 3>them held back with student net.

177
00:07:41.079 --> 00:07:43.720
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know, I have a seventeen year old who

178
00:07:43.800 --> 00:07:47.199
<v Speaker 2>is enrolled to Try County Tech, and she's learning how

179
00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:47.920
<v Speaker 2>to become.

180
00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:49.399
<v Speaker 4>A teacher teacher.

181
00:07:49.839 --> 00:07:53.160
<v Speaker 1>And she's taking She just loves that.

182
00:07:53.600 --> 00:07:56.680
<v Speaker 2>She says, I go to school in the morning, I

183
00:07:56.759 --> 00:08:01.319
<v Speaker 2>go to college afternoon, and she to her that's just

184
00:08:01.399 --> 00:08:05.279
<v Speaker 2>big thing. And and a lot of her friends who

185
00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:09.199
<v Speaker 2>are seniors do spend their afternoons at Tricounty Tech as

186
00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:12.120
<v Speaker 2>they try to figure out what is the next step,

187
00:08:12.360 --> 00:08:13.600
<v Speaker 2>What am I going to do next?

188
00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:13.920
<v Speaker 1>Now?

189
00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:18.160
<v Speaker 2>Some of already going to college. Others are going into

190
00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:21.800
<v Speaker 2>the fields of service, so like she's going to be

191
00:08:21.800 --> 00:08:24.240
<v Speaker 2>going to RSU to become a teacher. But what she's

192
00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:28.000
<v Speaker 2>learning right now is very valuable. It lets her know

193
00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:32.000
<v Speaker 2>what she might be facing as an educator. And other

194
00:08:32.120 --> 00:08:34.559
<v Speaker 2>kids are learning how to do different things along the

195
00:08:34.559 --> 00:08:37.559
<v Speaker 2>medical field, and a few I think one of them

196
00:08:37.639 --> 00:08:39.240
<v Speaker 2>is involved in the aviation.

197
00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:42.440
<v Speaker 1>The drone thing. You just got going into So it's

198
00:08:42.519 --> 00:08:43.200
<v Speaker 1>not just.

199
00:08:43.720 --> 00:08:46.440
<v Speaker 2>Going to school, You're you're really getting some hands on

200
00:08:46.559 --> 00:08:47.919
<v Speaker 2>out there Tricounty Tech.

201
00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:51.799
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's it's a unique opportunity, especially for our high

202
00:08:51.799 --> 00:08:54.759
<v Speaker 3>school students because they could use it as career exploration.

203
00:08:55.120 --> 00:08:57.720
<v Speaker 3>Maybe they aren't sure what they want to do.

204
00:08:57.720 --> 00:08:58.840
<v Speaker 4>Do that, now, do that.

205
00:08:58.759 --> 00:09:02.039
<v Speaker 3>In high school before you go to college and spend

206
00:09:02.080 --> 00:09:04.919
<v Speaker 3>money pursuing something that once you get out in the

207
00:09:04.919 --> 00:09:07.480
<v Speaker 3>field you realize you might not want to do. Or

208
00:09:07.759 --> 00:09:10.000
<v Speaker 3>it does give you a leg up if you're confident

209
00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:12.320
<v Speaker 3>in what you want to do. You can leave with

210
00:09:12.360 --> 00:09:16.519
<v Speaker 3>certifications and credentials that help you land your next job

211
00:09:16.639 --> 00:09:20.039
<v Speaker 3>or get into a competitive college class.

212
00:09:20.120 --> 00:09:21.200
<v Speaker 4>So it's great.

213
00:09:22.039 --> 00:09:24.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and it's right here in our backyard, folks. We're

214
00:09:24.559 --> 00:09:27.240
<v Speaker 2>right there off No Water Road and Madison. We're just

215
00:09:27.279 --> 00:09:29.519
<v Speaker 2>a little bit off Madison, a little bit to the east.

216
00:09:30.039 --> 00:09:33.440
<v Speaker 2>But my goodness sakes, if you don't have a child

217
00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:35.799
<v Speaker 2>who's involved in Trient County Tech, and if you're an

218
00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:39.159
<v Speaker 2>adult who thinks, so maybe you can do better in life,

219
00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:41.480
<v Speaker 2>you might want to just take a look around and

220
00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:44.159
<v Speaker 2>see what classes are available. We have all kinds of

221
00:09:44.159 --> 00:09:46.919
<v Speaker 2>flex classes for adults and everything kind of getting off.

222
00:09:46.759 --> 00:09:47.759
<v Speaker 1>The path here a little bit.

223
00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:51.080
<v Speaker 2>But you know, it's a gym and it needs to

224
00:09:51.120 --> 00:09:52.960
<v Speaker 2>be taken care of. And the best way you can

225
00:09:53.000 --> 00:09:57.559
<v Speaker 2>do is perhaps a giving Tuesday, make a concentrated effort,

226
00:09:57.840 --> 00:10:01.120
<v Speaker 2>and get a hold of a champagne, and let's see

227
00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:04.840
<v Speaker 2>if we can't keep this around another fifty five or

228
00:10:04.879 --> 00:10:07.240
<v Speaker 2>one hundred and fifty or one hundred and seventy.

229
00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:08.000
<v Speaker 4>Years down the road.

230
00:10:08.519 --> 00:10:09.639
<v Speaker 1>We'll be all gone.

231
00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:11.279
<v Speaker 2>By then, but your great great grandkids will.

232
00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:13.320
<v Speaker 3>Still be using it, and our intowment will still be there,

233
00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:14.080
<v Speaker 3>which is great.

234
00:10:16.519 --> 00:10:17.279
<v Speaker 1>That is great.

235
00:10:17.840 --> 00:10:21.399
<v Speaker 2>So it is an investment not only for yourself, not

236
00:10:21.440 --> 00:10:23.600
<v Speaker 2>only for your kids, but for the community as a whole.

237
00:10:23.799 --> 00:10:26.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean, look at the great employers we have here.

238
00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:29.440
<v Speaker 2>We have everything from you know, accounting and state work

239
00:10:29.440 --> 00:10:32.759
<v Speaker 2>and municipal work, but also we have Phillips, we have

240
00:10:32.879 --> 00:10:37.679
<v Speaker 2>Conico Phillips, we have abb We've got new electric set

241
00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:40.200
<v Speaker 2>up coming here in the company. We've got Blue Whale

242
00:10:40.240 --> 00:10:42.480
<v Speaker 2>coming to town, and a whole lot of people who

243
00:10:42.519 --> 00:10:46.279
<v Speaker 2>need workers who maybe can specialize in a few things,

244
00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:48.440
<v Speaker 2>and sometimes when they add on, things got.

245
00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:51.679
<v Speaker 3>To get built, that's right. We have construction programs, we

246
00:10:51.759 --> 00:10:54.559
<v Speaker 3>have mechanical programs. We have welding programs. Of course, we

247
00:10:54.600 --> 00:10:58.039
<v Speaker 3>have medical programs. One of our biggest and that's what

248
00:10:58.159 --> 00:11:01.960
<v Speaker 3>started us, was a nursing so lots to offer. We

249
00:11:02.039 --> 00:11:04.399
<v Speaker 3>love to be in on those conversations when businesses are

250
00:11:04.440 --> 00:11:07.120
<v Speaker 3>coming to town to see how we can support the

251
00:11:07.159 --> 00:11:10.159
<v Speaker 3>employees train them. That's part of our business development group.

252
00:11:10.320 --> 00:11:13.960
<v Speaker 3>So anything from high school to adults looking for a

253
00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:17.840
<v Speaker 3>career shift to businesses who need training on the job,

00:11:17.879 --> 00:11:19.399
<v Speaker 3>we cover all of that.

255
00:11:19.840 --> 00:11:21.879
<v Speaker 2>Now when it comes to the foundation, folks, is what

256
00:11:22.159 --> 00:11:24.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm asking you, making a little bit of an appeal here.
