1
00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:02.000
<v Speaker 1>Now for our community connection.

2
00:00:02.480 --> 00:00:05.360
<v Speaker 2>And Judy Williams with this and she is with the

3
00:00:05.360 --> 00:00:10.679
<v Speaker 2>Greater Bartlesville Area Chamber of Commerce. And my goodness sakes,

4
00:00:10.720 --> 00:00:13.160
<v Speaker 2>we've had a busy month. We got another busy went ahead.

5
00:00:13.519 --> 00:00:16.480
<v Speaker 2>Let's just remind folks that the Chamber is busy, but

6
00:00:16.679 --> 00:00:17.640
<v Speaker 2>they're working for you.

7
00:00:18.160 --> 00:00:19.600
<v Speaker 3>We are, we are.

8
00:00:19.640 --> 00:00:23.320
<v Speaker 4>It's part of our vision statement, which I can't remember

9
00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:27.600
<v Speaker 4>exactly how it is, but to provide an atmosphere and

10
00:00:27.640 --> 00:00:30.640
<v Speaker 4>a platform for business success and development.

11
00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:33.119
<v Speaker 3>We want businesses to succeed.

12
00:00:34.079 --> 00:00:36.799
<v Speaker 4>I told somebody, you know how you don't like to

13
00:00:36.799 --> 00:00:38.600
<v Speaker 4>be taken advantage of Tony.

14
00:00:38.679 --> 00:00:40.359
<v Speaker 3>You don't want people, but we do.

15
00:00:40.439 --> 00:00:42.840
<v Speaker 4>We want you to take advantage of all the things

16
00:00:42.840 --> 00:00:45.399
<v Speaker 4>that we offer. So come and take advantage of the

17
00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:47.560
<v Speaker 4>chamber benefits. They're available to.

18
00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:51.119
<v Speaker 2>You, and there are plenty of benefits. You know, when

19
00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:55.479
<v Speaker 2>you belong, you're a part of something greater, and you

20
00:00:55.840 --> 00:00:59.600
<v Speaker 2>find yourself working with each other and the common goal.

21
00:01:00.039 --> 00:01:01.399
<v Speaker 3>Yes, that is so true.

22
00:01:01.560 --> 00:01:05.280
<v Speaker 4>And what I have figured out is that when a

23
00:01:05.359 --> 00:01:10.480
<v Speaker 4>business leader recognizes that that they're part of something greater,

24
00:01:10.760 --> 00:01:14.359
<v Speaker 4>they're Chamber members forever. We want it to work for them.

25
00:01:14.439 --> 00:01:17.079
<v Speaker 4>We want because people will say, well, what's in it

26
00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:19.400
<v Speaker 4>for me? And there is so much that's in it

27
00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:21.640
<v Speaker 4>for you, but the biggest thing that's in it for

28
00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:24.840
<v Speaker 4>you is to be a part of something bigger. And

29
00:01:24.879 --> 00:01:29.840
<v Speaker 4>once they recognize that, they're chamber members forever because they

30
00:01:29.879 --> 00:01:34.319
<v Speaker 4>want to be. They want Bartlesville and the surrounding area

31
00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:37.840
<v Speaker 4>and Dewey and Nowada and Wan and lin Upon and

32
00:01:37.879 --> 00:01:38.719
<v Speaker 4>all those places.

33
00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:40.719
<v Speaker 3>We want them all to be successful.

34
00:01:41.159 --> 00:01:44.200
<v Speaker 1>Now we've got a business after hours coming up.

35
00:01:44.319 --> 00:01:47.480
<v Speaker 4>Real quick, coming up real quick, a week from tomorrow

36
00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:50.719
<v Speaker 4>is our business after hours. The business after hours is

37
00:01:50.760 --> 00:01:53.680
<v Speaker 4>always the first Thursday of each month, and it's always

38
00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:57.560
<v Speaker 4>at four o'clock, four to five thirty usually, And this

39
00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:01.200
<v Speaker 4>next one will be at Career Employment. Career Employment is

40
00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:05.239
<v Speaker 4>located at twenty three fifty southeast No Water Place, and

41
00:02:05.400 --> 00:02:08.960
<v Speaker 4>so so that is going to be fun thing. Business

42
00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:12.919
<v Speaker 4>after hours always has plenty of food and beverages and

43
00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:16.759
<v Speaker 4>door prizes, but a great opportunity to meet and greet

44
00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:20.520
<v Speaker 4>other business leaders in the community. So business after hours

45
00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:23.439
<v Speaker 4>is always wonderful. But that's August the seventh. But then

46
00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:28.240
<v Speaker 4>August the nineteenth is a busy day. That morning, at

47
00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:31.840
<v Speaker 4>eight o'clock at the chamber office is pastries and perks.

48
00:02:32.039 --> 00:02:34.319
<v Speaker 1>I hear, that's really a sweet way to start the day.

49
00:02:34.439 --> 00:02:37.599
<v Speaker 4>Oh my goodness, oh my goodness, and well. And the

50
00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:41.479
<v Speaker 4>pastries are provided by the eatery. Any saltsman at the eatery.

51
00:02:41.520 --> 00:02:43.319
<v Speaker 4>It doesn't get a whole lot better than that, I'll

52
00:02:43.319 --> 00:02:43.680
<v Speaker 4>tell you what.

53
00:02:43.879 --> 00:02:45.319
<v Speaker 3>Oh and she always.

54
00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:50.960
<v Speaker 4>Gives us some great pastries to begin our perks. And

55
00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:55.759
<v Speaker 4>then Sherry gives an it's about an hour long slide presentation,

56
00:02:56.120 --> 00:02:59.000
<v Speaker 4>and she talks about all the perks of chamber membership,

57
00:02:59.240 --> 00:03:03.599
<v Speaker 4>the tangibles and the intangible perks. There's some things that

58
00:03:03.960 --> 00:03:07.039
<v Speaker 4>go on behind the scenes at the state level, you

59
00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:09.639
<v Speaker 4>know at the capitol, and you know within the county

60
00:03:09.759 --> 00:03:14.280
<v Speaker 4>and for businesses that that Sherry can talk about and

61
00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:18.280
<v Speaker 4>share and tell you what we do, what she does,

62
00:03:18.439 --> 00:03:20.919
<v Speaker 4>what the chamber does, not just this chamber, but the

63
00:03:21.039 --> 00:03:25.319
<v Speaker 4>chambers in Oklahoma do behind the scenes. And then the afternoon,

64
00:03:26.120 --> 00:03:28.800
<v Speaker 4>actually it's later in the morning at eight at eleven

65
00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:33.879
<v Speaker 4>thirty at Tri County Tech is the Economic Forecast Forum.

66
00:03:34.599 --> 00:03:39.759
<v Speaker 4>This man Mark Snead is his name, and he as

67
00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:43.199
<v Speaker 4>an economist and he is going to share with us

68
00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:47.680
<v Speaker 4>some of the insights from the last year, from this

69
00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:52.120
<v Speaker 4>last year and economically what has happened. But then he's

70
00:03:52.120 --> 00:03:54.800
<v Speaker 4>also going to give some forecasts, not just for Bartlesville,

71
00:03:54.840 --> 00:03:58.039
<v Speaker 4>this is for Oklahoma and northeast Oklahoma. Oh, And he's

72
00:03:58.080 --> 00:04:02.319
<v Speaker 4>going to talk about some of the economic indicators that

73
00:04:02.479 --> 00:04:06.719
<v Speaker 4>impact business performance in the coming months. And so to

74
00:04:07.120 --> 00:04:09.960
<v Speaker 4>just give us an idea of what needs to be tweaked,

75
00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:12.479
<v Speaker 4>what we need to look forward to, maybe what we

76
00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:15.520
<v Speaker 4>need to save, what we need to invest in, you know,

77
00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:19.240
<v Speaker 4>all the things. He's the economist, he'll he'll tell us.

78
00:04:19.279 --> 00:04:23.399
<v Speaker 4>But that's at eleven thirty on August the nineteenth at

79
00:04:23.480 --> 00:04:26.879
<v Speaker 4>Tri County Tech. It's twenty five dollars and includes lunch

80
00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:29.360
<v Speaker 4>and it will be very good.

81
00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:30.079
<v Speaker 3>Oh, I wanted to.

82
00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:32.480
<v Speaker 4>Go back to Pastries and Perks. Oh, Pastries and Perks

83
00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:35.360
<v Speaker 4>is a free event. We have so many free events

84
00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:38.120
<v Speaker 4>at the Chamber that people can take advantage of. Business

85
00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:41.519
<v Speaker 4>after Hours is a free event and it's meant to

86
00:04:42.040 --> 00:04:46.519
<v Speaker 4>help businesses interact with other businesses, get ideas, meet people,

87
00:04:46.680 --> 00:04:49.959

<v Speaker 4>a lot.

89
00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:52.160
<v Speaker 3>And we do that.

90
00:04:53.680 --> 00:04:56.560
<v Speaker 2>One thing that comes from that is that some folks

91
00:04:57.000 --> 00:05:00.000
<v Speaker 2>have heard of other you know business providers or managers

92
00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:03.120

93
00:05:03.160 --> 00:05:06.160
<v Speaker 2>the company, but they've never met them, right, And then

94
00:05:06.199 --> 00:05:08.519
<v Speaker 2>the a lot of times they find out that there's

95
00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:12.920
<v Speaker 2>some commonalities and maybe there's an opportunity to partner, to

96
00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:16.160
<v Speaker 2>maybe meet a challenge and to do great.

97
00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:20.120
<v Speaker 4>For oh absolutely, and to do great things for each other.

98
00:05:20.680 --> 00:05:23.879
<v Speaker 4>That business B to B is such, it is so

99
00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:28.160
<v Speaker 4>important and to put a face to the name. And

00:05:28.199 --> 00:05:31.279
<v Speaker 4>then the other exciting thing that we've got, well, we've

<v Speaker 2>Every year we get seemingly more and more people. You know,

168
00:08:58.039 --> 00:09:00.600

174
00:09:13.799 --> 00:09:18.080

175
00:09:18.120 --> 00:09:22.279
<v Speaker 4>people downtown Bartlesville. Now, not all of those people skated,

176
00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:26.039
<v Speaker 4>but almost ten thousand of them did. And but but

00:10:55.519 --> 00:10:57.759
<v Speaker 2>You know, this thing is such a good resource, and

206
00:10:57.840 --> 00:11:00.840
<v Speaker 2>especially with so many people that we have coming in,

207
00:11:00.919 --> 00:11:03.679
<v Speaker 2>with many of the new businesses that are coming in

208
00:11:03.799 --> 00:11:07.879
<v Speaker 2>bringing employees. Yeah, this is a really good guide. If

209
00:11:07.879 --> 00:11:10.279
<v Speaker 2>you've never been to Bartlesvilt, maybe you've seen it on

210
00:11:10.320 --> 00:11:13.440
<v Speaker 2>the Google map or something like that and you're thinking, oh,

211
00:11:13.519 --> 00:11:18.399
<v Speaker 2>I'm moving all the way from Pennsylvania to yeah out west. Yeah, well,

00:11:28.120 --> 00:11:30.360
<v Speaker 2>on top of that, looks pretty good on the coffee table.

215
00:11:30.519 --> 00:11:31.000
<v Speaker 3>It does.

216
00:11:31.320 --> 00:11:33.559
<v Speaker 4>And then in the back of the book, we have

217
00:11:33.720 --> 00:11:37.120
<v Speaker 4>all of our businesses listed by category. So now all

218
00:11:37.159 --> 00:11:40.879
<v Speaker 4>of our members are listed in our member directory online

219
00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:43.799
<v Speaker 4>all the time, but the book comes out once a

220
00:11:43.879 --> 00:11:47.840
<v Speaker 4>year and our members can be in the back of

221
00:11:47.840 --> 00:11:50.200
<v Speaker 4>that book. So if you're not a chamber member, but

222
00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:53.559
<v Speaker 4>you've always wondered about what one of the what some

223
00:11:53.639 --> 00:11:55.840
<v Speaker 4>of the benefits are one of two of the great

224
00:11:55.879 --> 00:12:01.000
<v Speaker 4>benefits are being listed where people can find you online

225
00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:05.600
<v Speaker 4>and then also in our community in our chamber guidebook.

226
00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:07.879
<v Speaker 2>This works well for folks who've been here for maybe

227
00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:09.360
<v Speaker 2>all their lives.

228
00:12:09.559 --> 00:12:11.480
<v Speaker 1>New businesses are popping up just like these.

229
00:12:11.559 --> 00:12:14.159
<v Speaker 4>It's all over the place, yep, which takes me back.

230
00:12:14.240 --> 00:12:17.039
<v Speaker 4>That made me there was one thing about pastries and perks. Sorry,

231
00:12:17.080 --> 00:12:19.919
<v Speaker 4>I keep going back to pastries and perk. Why not pastries?

232
00:12:19.960 --> 00:12:23.360
<v Speaker 4>I know in the perks the pastries are really good,

233
00:12:23.759 --> 00:12:28.799
<v Speaker 4>But pastries and perks is for It was designed for

234
00:12:29.559 --> 00:12:32.039
<v Speaker 4>members that have been members for maybe a long long

235
00:12:32.080 --> 00:12:36.240
<v Speaker 4>time and don't remember all of their benefits that are available.

236
00:12:36.840 --> 00:12:39.080
<v Speaker 4>Kind of like me and you Tom, you get to

237
00:12:39.120 --> 00:12:42.320
<v Speaker 4>where you don't remember everything, like I left the book

238
00:12:42.320 --> 00:12:46.279
<v Speaker 4>in the car. But it's for members that maybe have

239
00:12:46.600 --> 00:12:49.440
<v Speaker 4>been a member just a short time but don't didn't

240
00:12:49.519 --> 00:12:52.799
<v Speaker 4>get all the gist of their membership benefits. But what

241
00:12:53.000 --> 00:12:55.679
<v Speaker 4>about those new people that aren't a member yet and

242
00:12:55.720 --> 00:12:59.679
<v Speaker 4>they wonder what the benefits are? So pastries and perks

243
00:12:59.720 --> 00:13:00.559
<v Speaker 4>is for everyone.

244
00:13:00.840 --> 00:13:01.879
<v Speaker 1>Wow, wonderful.

245

<v Speaker 1>It's really easy to remember.

248
00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:09.799
<v Speaker 2>And I don't know who does your your stuff, but

249

<v Speaker 2>that you make it really easy to navigate and it's

250
00:13:12.240 --> 00:13:14.200
<v Speaker 2>really kind of cool. We've got some video in there,

251
00:13:14.240 --> 00:13:17.200
<v Speaker 2>and yeah, really just a nice, easy little way to

252
00:13:17.399 --> 00:13:18.320
<v Speaker 2>kind of spend some time.

253
00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:21.080
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, Tresa does a great job of She did a

254
00:13:21.240 --> 00:13:25.159
<v Speaker 4>year d a recap because you know, we're a fiscal year,

255
00:13:25.279 --> 00:13:27.679
<v Speaker 4>and she did that and put it on our website,

256
00:13:27.799 --> 00:13:29.799
<v Speaker 4>so you can kind of get an idea of all

257
00:13:29.919 --> 00:13:32.919
<v Speaker 4>the things that we did throughout the course of the year.

258
00:13:33.080 --> 00:13:36.240
<v Speaker 3>And your face may be on some of it.

259
00:13:35.799 --> 00:13:39.200
<v Speaker 2>It might just be Yeah, Yeah, anything else we need

260
00:13:39.200 --> 00:13:40.039
<v Speaker 2>to tell folks about.

261
00:13:40.519 --> 00:13:44.240
<v Speaker 4>I just I just one other thing that I didn't

262
00:13:44.240 --> 00:13:48.879
<v Speaker 4>get to talk about September seventh. That's September seventh. We

263
00:13:49.000 --> 00:13:52.320
<v Speaker 4>will start women in Business again good and that is

264
00:13:52.360 --> 00:13:53.799
<v Speaker 4>always exciting.

265
00:13:53.480 --> 00:13:56.360
<v Speaker 3>And it is just a grand opportunity.

266
00:13:56.919 --> 00:14:00.440
<v Speaker 4>Sometimes we will have a guide that is really and

267
00:14:00.480 --> 00:14:03.320
<v Speaker 4>he'll come in and come to women in Business with us,

268
00:14:03.639 --> 00:14:07.320
<v Speaker 4>and that's great. We always love that. But we always

269
00:14:07.360 --> 00:14:12.720
<v Speaker 4>have lunch at Hill Chris Country Club, and we like

270
00:14:12.879 --> 00:14:18.039
<v Speaker 4>to offer maybe an opportunity for businesses, different women's businesses

271
00:14:18.320 --> 00:14:21.840
<v Speaker 4>to set up a little booth as we go into

272
00:14:22.559 --> 00:14:25.480
<v Speaker 4>the ballroom to eat, they can set up a little

273
00:14:25.480 --> 00:14:27.480
<v Speaker 4>table there and kind of showcase what they're doing and

274
00:14:27.519 --> 00:14:30.080
<v Speaker 4>there's no charge for that. It's we can only do

275
00:14:30.159 --> 00:14:32.840
<v Speaker 4>maybe two businesses at a time, but it is a

276
00:14:32.879 --> 00:14:36.639
<v Speaker 4>great opportunity for them. But it's just also great opportunity

277
00:14:36.679 --> 00:14:40.600
<v Speaker 4>to get together again, put a face to some of

278
00:14:40.639 --> 00:14:41.759
<v Speaker 4>the names that we know.

279
00:14:42.440 --> 00:14:44.840
<v Speaker 3>And there again we have lunch.

280
00:14:44.519 --> 00:14:46.320
<v Speaker 4>And we have door prices and we always have a

281
00:14:46.360 --> 00:14:50.960
<v Speaker 4>good guest speaker to give us great information about Sometimes

282
00:14:50.960 --> 00:14:53.799
<v Speaker 4>it could be fashion, sometimes it can be business, it

283
00:14:53.840 --> 00:14:58.519
<v Speaker 4>could be different things that women need to have help

284
00:14:58.559 --> 00:15:02.559
<v Speaker 4>with business and so women in Business will start back

285
00:15:02.639 --> 00:15:04.919
<v Speaker 4>up September seventh. We took the summer off.

286
00:15:05.320 --> 00:15:07.639
<v Speaker 1>That's a good idea because owners get pretty busy.

287
00:15:07.440 --> 00:15:08.519
<v Speaker 3>For a lot of time. It's hot.

288
