Speaker 1: the no wa Community Foundation in here. We have Mike
Speaker 1: Dae who's the chairman. Also we have Margie and we
Speaker 1: have Cheryl in here as well. First of all, Mike,
Speaker 1: you're the chairman of the foundation. Tell us a little
Speaker 1: bit about the foundation, what it does and how we
Speaker 1: benefits everyone.
Speaker 2: The know what a community foundation is set up to
Speaker 2: help the community of no Wata and basically we help
Speaker 2: service organizations with their funds. We also have fundraisers which
Speaker 2: are annual fundraiser g L. Myers fifth annual Golf Firm
Speaker 2: is coming up on October twelfth. And those funds we
Speaker 2: used to do improvements and help groups and no Auto
Speaker 2: home which include the city clean up projects. We help
Speaker 2: with the ballparks for help with the food bank. We
Speaker 2: helped the schools, we help the Loaves and Fishes, and
Speaker 2: we try to improve the quality of life in Oklahoma
Speaker 2: and make improvements to the community as we go.
Speaker 1: Well, this is a pretty important foundation and it sounds
Speaker 1: like you're really spreading a lot of help around to
Speaker 1: a lot of people who needed So this event coming
Speaker 1: up is crucial. We've got to have a lot of
Speaker 1: people having fun, Yes, you bet, and we have several
Speaker 1: opportunities to do that.
Speaker 2: We have a morning golf flight and then we have
Speaker 2: an afternoon flight AO or eighteen holes, and we really
Speaker 2: do need participation in the afternoon. We've got a few
Speaker 2: openings left in the afternoon for teams of five.
Speaker 1: Well good, and there's going to be ideals, so you
Speaker 1: don't have to worry about, you know, too much. Just
Speaker 1: hydrate and have fun. Right Well, who wants to talk
Speaker 1: about the dinner dance? Who wants to go all you
Speaker 1: got elected?
Speaker 3: I got elected. Not if you're not a golfer. That's okay,
Speaker 3: because you can come to our dinner and our dance.
Speaker 3: That night. We're going to have and this is new
Speaker 3: this year, we're having ordures and those will be starting
Speaker 3: to be served at six o'clock and then dinner is
Speaker 3: going to be at seven, and there will be a
Speaker 3: live auction. There will be a silent auction, and that
Speaker 3: is always a lot of fun because when people start
Speaker 3: bidding against their friends and neighbors. It's a lot of fun.
Speaker 3: We had a lot of fun last year. We will
Speaker 3: this year. But you can buy ticket, an individual ticket
Speaker 3: for the dinner and they are sixty dollars apiece, or
Speaker 3: you can buy a table if you want to, for
Speaker 3: eight and that's twelve hundred dollars. But we'd like everybody
Speaker 3: to come that can. If I don't play golf, don't
Speaker 3: know anything about it, don't want to, but I'm all in.
Speaker 3: I'm all in for everything else. Yes I am, and
Speaker 3: I really am for the golf too. I can watch.
Speaker 3: But we'd like to urge everybody that I mean, if
Speaker 3: you're not a golfer, come and play. Come and play golf,
Speaker 3: then have dinner or just come to the dinner. And
Speaker 3: the dinner, like I said, is at seven o'clock and
Speaker 3: it will be provided by the Painted Horse, which is
Speaker 3: a great restaurant, and we have the food. Everybody every
Speaker 3: year raves about the food. So anyway we planned it,
Speaker 3: we'll have a good time.
Speaker 1: Now we're going to have both silent and the live auction.
Speaker 1: You know who the auctioneer is for the live auction.
Speaker 4: We have determined that yet.
Speaker 1: Okay, we're still looking for our auctionaire.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, really wonderful one last year.
Speaker 1: But if you've got any ideas, sure silent auction where
Speaker 1: we've got a lot.
Speaker 2: Of good be pretty good at that.
Speaker 1: Actually, here's how I do the auction about me, it's awful,
Speaker 1: It is awful. You don't want that. People would want
Speaker 1: their money back. We want to make money.
Speaker 4: And we've got some really good price our items to
Speaker 4: bid on this year too.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Unique for this year.
Speaker 4: We have a Toby Keith basket. It's going to include
Speaker 4: four rounds of golf at his golf course in Norman,
Speaker 4: and that includes two nights at the NBC Suites. So
Speaker 4: that's really you know, that's a nice thing that we've
Speaker 4: acquired this year. And also I think it's a I
Speaker 4: wish it takes a check game, say at the Student
Speaker 4: Union Hotel another Atherton. Yes, and that includes breakfast the
Speaker 4: next morning. So those are two really nice things that
Speaker 4: we've got several others too, but that just comes to
Speaker 4: mind we have not had in years past.
Speaker 1: Well, goodness sakes, that is going to be great. That right,
Speaker 1: there's invitation enough for just you're a music lover, if
Speaker 1: you're a fan of football or just a fan of Oklahoma,
Speaker 1: State of Oklahoma firm. Goodness Sakes, it's a lot to
Speaker 1: be proud of. You can spend your money and have
Speaker 1: good time. Now, this is what it's all about. It's
Speaker 1: about having a good time to making sure that others
Speaker 1: are taken care of too. And you know, this whole
Speaker 1: foundation idea, it's a wonderful idea. How long has it
Speaker 1: been going on?
Speaker 2: Seven years? Seven years and this is our fifth golf tournament.
Speaker 2: Probably the fundraising has been pretty effective over the last
Speaker 2: five uh huh, and we've we've distributed a little over
Speaker 2: one hundred and seventy five thousand dollars in those years
Speaker 2: to help the community and the children in the future.
Speaker 1: And No, Wanner, well that's great, you know, I know what,
Speaker 1: it's got a little bit of a growth sprit going
Speaker 1: on right now. You've got some new businesses and you've
Speaker 1: got the Boys Girls Club and the the Trick County
Speaker 1: Tech thing out there going on. So you've got a
Speaker 1: lot of things happening over there.
Speaker 2: We do, we do the Boys and Girls Club is
Speaker 2: your crown jewel. Are very proud of our school system.
Speaker 2: You know, we have a hospital and we have golf course.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of things to look forward to.
Speaker 1: One of them, well, very good. Well we're disappointing. And
Speaker 1: now if we want to get a ticket, how do
Speaker 1: we show our support? Where do we go? Do we
Speaker 1: go online or do we give somebody a call? A
Speaker 1: little bit of both.
Speaker 4: You can go online at a no want to sef
Speaker 4: dot org okay, and you.
Speaker 2: Can buy a ticket there.
Speaker 4: Or you can go to the golf course golf club
Speaker 4: and they have it.
Speaker 2: It's available to be sold there.
Speaker 4: And I think you can call our phone number too, right, yes,
Speaker 4: and that's nine eight two seven three. Nope, two seven three.
Speaker 4: What's our number? It should be here somewhere.
Speaker 3: You can call the country club. We only have one.
Speaker 2: It is really good.
Speaker 3: It's really good one.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 1: It's something I drive by well only with GPS. See.
Speaker 1: I used to be a baseball player and I thought
Speaker 1: if you bounced one over the fence it was a
Speaker 1: ground rual double. Then no, it's a two stroke penalty.
Speaker 1: So you know, I got a reorient. But it looks
Speaker 1: like a fun little course to play on because everybody
Speaker 1: every time I go by there, it's always full.
Speaker 2: It's an excellent course.
Speaker 1: It is a lot of fun. It's great time to
Speaker 1: have that you got you still have openings for the
Speaker 1: afternoon flight.
Speaker 2: We do have openings for the afternoon. Okay, then we
Speaker 2: probably could make an accommodation that that if the morning
Speaker 2: was the only they could play. Sure, and we are substantially.
Speaker 1: Flow in the morning, a lot of early risers. That's
Speaker 1: how it goes here. Well, this sounds like it's great win.
