Speaker 3: If we need other one, there's.
Speaker 4: A chance, I'm we may have to put a note
Speaker 4: out to see if we can get a few few
Speaker 4: other ones. But they are taking I mean, they filled
Speaker 4: up the original amount of volunteers we need. We're just
Speaker 4: trying to figure out if we need some extra ones.
Speaker 2: Okay, Well it seems like they have fun doing it.
Speaker 4: They have a great time they do, and I can't
Speaker 4: wait to see all the vendors because you know, I'm
Speaker 4: trying to buy more Nikes because that's what they expect
Speaker 4: from me. They expect my sneaker game to be up
Speaker 4: and not have not wear the same ones I wore
Speaker 4: last year, So I.
Speaker 2: Got to keep it up to bronze every year.
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: But man, it's really great to see that we're on
Speaker 1: such a role here and maybe we'll get a little
Speaker 1: bit of a break with the weather here on the
Speaker 1: twenty fourth.
Speaker 4: Now I will say that I tell people Randy Johns. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: Randy Johnson in charge of the weather. So if it
Speaker 4: doesn't work out, just take your complaints down.
Speaker 2: We've always had beautiful we have ever.
Speaker 3: Well not since I've been here. We haven't had one.
Speaker 4: There have been in the past, and we just roll
Speaker 4: with the They just roll with the punches and we'll
Speaker 4: figure it out. But I anticipate really nice weather. Hopefully
Speaker 4: it's smitch cooler. But I'm not going to complain.
Speaker 2: No, I mean, it's Oklahoma. It'll be just about what
Speaker 2: you expect exactly. It's usually it is.
Speaker 3: It is very fortunate.
Speaker 1: Now Day of Caring is coming up here in just
Speaker 1: a little bit and tell us a little bit about that.
Speaker 5: So we had a little bit over sixty projects submitted
Speaker 5: this year, and a lot of them got snatched up immediately,
Speaker 5: but we still have about ten to fifteen left.
Speaker 3: So Dave of.
Speaker 5: Caring, it is a community wide day of volunteerism. A
Speaker 5: lot of the larger companies, even some of the smaller ones,
Speaker 5: we'll get together. They'll make up their teams of people,
Speaker 5: they'll get a really awesome T shirt, and then they'll
Speaker 5: go out and they will team up with some nonprofits
Speaker 5: around town. We've got them from Salvation Army. Let's see,
Speaker 5: we've got to the sunn Avian Research Center. That's always
Speaker 5: a big hit. Kasa Haspana. She puts all the ones
Speaker 5: with the tamalis and the enchiladas on there. Those get
Speaker 5: snatched up right away. But just some really awesome ways
Speaker 5: to volunteer, get out of the office a little bit,
Speaker 5: and the companies will pay for you to do that,
Speaker 5: which is also just a really fantastic thing that these companies.
Speaker 2: It's great team building outside the office.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've been a part of these things before and
Speaker 1: they paid big dividends.
Speaker 2: You get to see a completely different side of your coworkers.
Speaker 1: Yes, and you find yourself appreciate the people you're around
Speaker 1: just a whole lot more.
Speaker 4: Yeah, take care of the organization that doesn't have sometimes
Speaker 4: doesn't have time to do that.
Speaker 1: Yes.
Speaker 4: So yeah, that's the big plus for me is that
Speaker 4: it's you know, it's great team building and it's helping
Speaker 4: those agencies and those organizations in school that are in
Speaker 4: the weeds doing the work to make sure our community
Speaker 4: can thrive.
Speaker 2: Sometimes they are in the week.
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, yeah, anyway, this is gonna be great.

Speaker 2: our businesses signed up for day of Care?

Speaker 1: your day? Yes?
Speaker 5: So we so the companies like it. They like it
Speaker 5: when we have one designated day just in case. There's
Speaker 5: some projects that are super flexible. But then we do
Speaker 5: have some like a gop a empty bowls that has
Speaker 5: to happen on a certain day.
Speaker 3: We're set up for the events.
Speaker 5: We do have some event help on there, so those

Speaker 5: most of these projects will take care of take place
Speaker 5: on the day of caring, but they don't always have to.
Speaker 5: So if you're like, well, I'm a little busy on
Speaker 5: that day, I can't necessarily do it on September twenty fourth,
