00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:04.360
<v Speaker 1>Good morning, good morning, good morning.

2
00:00:04.440 --> 00:00:05.559
<v Speaker 2>Welcome, welcome, welcome.

3
00:00:05.919 --> 00:00:08.160
<v Speaker 1>It is time now for our community connection right here

4
00:00:08.160 --> 00:00:10.480
<v Speaker 1>on Gay one, the one you trust Tory Potters with

5
00:00:10.679 --> 00:00:14.919
<v Speaker 1>is today on this grand, glorious Friday, before we start

6
00:00:14.960 --> 00:00:17.280
<v Speaker 1>seeing a lot of rain and animals lining up too

7
00:00:17.320 --> 00:00:17.679
<v Speaker 1>by two.

8
00:00:19.120 --> 00:00:20.559
<v Speaker 2>Can't you believe it's November?

9
00:00:20.839 --> 00:00:23.559
<v Speaker 3>No idea. I know I can't either. I just love

10
00:00:23.600 --> 00:00:25.559
<v Speaker 3>it though, I love, love love it. I love the

11
00:00:25.600 --> 00:00:28.480
<v Speaker 3>holiday season. And I'm here today to talk about Bartles

12
00:00:28.519 --> 00:00:31.359
<v Speaker 3>Valai's Connection again. You know, that's one of my passions,

13
00:00:31.399 --> 00:00:34.320
<v Speaker 3>one of the things that I just truly, truly and

14
00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:36.560
<v Speaker 3>love being a part of and getting to meet all

15
00:00:36.560 --> 00:00:39.359
<v Speaker 3>the different ladies in our community and the surrounding area

16
00:00:39.399 --> 00:00:44.079
<v Speaker 3>who come. Bartles Valay's Connection is an organization that doesn't

17
00:00:44.079 --> 00:00:46.119
<v Speaker 3>have membership or dues. You just come to one of

18
00:00:46.119 --> 00:00:47.880
<v Speaker 3>our events and you're a part of us. Then you

19
00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:49.600
<v Speaker 3>know you can come when you can, and we know

20
00:00:49.679 --> 00:00:53.119
<v Speaker 3>people are busy. We have monthly events. It's usually the

21
00:00:53.159 --> 00:00:56.320
<v Speaker 3>second Thursday of the month, and this time is our

22
00:00:56.439 --> 00:01:00.799
<v Speaker 3>annual fall fundraiser event that we do, which is always

23
00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:03.000
<v Speaker 3>something that everybody looks forward to. We go out to

24
00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:06.640
<v Speaker 3>Hillcrest Country Club, once a year and it's our most

25
00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:09.400
<v Speaker 3>expensive event. It's twenty dollars to come, but it's well

26
00:01:09.400 --> 00:01:12.040
<v Speaker 3>worth it because you get a great holiday dinner usually

27
00:01:12.079 --> 00:01:17.159
<v Speaker 3>turkey and dressing and green beans and pumpkin dessert and

28
00:01:17.239 --> 00:01:19.439
<v Speaker 3>you know, things like this. It's just really fabulous. But

29
00:01:20.200 --> 00:01:22.519
<v Speaker 3>what we do is we have our silent auction and

30
00:01:22.519 --> 00:01:24.840
<v Speaker 3>so people will bring things. You can bring things, or

31
00:01:24.879 --> 00:01:26.760
<v Speaker 3>you can take things home or buy things, you know,

32
00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:29.799
<v Speaker 3>whichever or do both. But we'll have all kinds of

33
00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:34.000
<v Speaker 3>homemade items, whether it be craft type items for the holidays,

34
00:01:34.359 --> 00:01:38.719
<v Speaker 3>whether it be yummy good pies and candies and cakes

35
00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:41.159
<v Speaker 3>and you know, things like this, Lots of good things

36
00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:45.000
<v Speaker 3>like that, just a variety of things on our silent auction,

37
00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:48.680
<v Speaker 3>and all the proceeds will go toward our organization. We're

38
00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:52.439
<v Speaker 3>under Stonecroft Ministries, but it's Bartlesville A's connection and we

39
00:01:52.519 --> 00:01:54.920
<v Speaker 3>do the local jail ministry here in town, which I

40
00:01:54.959 --> 00:01:57.519
<v Speaker 3>heard earlier today the sheriff was talking about and given

41
00:01:57.560 --> 00:02:00.319
<v Speaker 3>a plug for how we're involved there at at the

42
00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:04.040
<v Speaker 3>local jail. But anyway, so that helps our funds to

43
00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:06.079
<v Speaker 3>be able to keep our costs down in all that

44
00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:08.840
<v Speaker 3>we do and provide Bible studies and things like this

45
00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:11.479
<v Speaker 3>for the ladies there as well as low cost Bible

46
00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:14.199
<v Speaker 3>studies for people in our community who want to be

47
00:02:14.240 --> 00:02:14.879
<v Speaker 3>involved too.

48
00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:16.879
<v Speaker 2>But again back to our upcoming event.

49
00:02:16.919 --> 00:02:20.879
<v Speaker 3>It's called our Holiday Extravaganza Lunch and Silent Auction Hill

50
00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:23.759
<v Speaker 3>Chriss Country Club and that happens to be November.

51
00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:24.719
<v Speaker 2>Fourteenth this year.

52
00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:28.000
<v Speaker 3>The second Thursday is November fourteenth, so we're still a

53
00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:30.479
<v Speaker 3>little bit time to plan for it.

54
00:02:30.479 --> 00:02:32.199
<v Speaker 2>If you want to make something, bake something.

55
00:02:33.039 --> 00:02:34.960
<v Speaker 3>One of the things that has been a highlight for

56
00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:38.199
<v Speaker 3>the last oh gosh, maybe ten years as we've done

57
00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:43.719
<v Speaker 3>a cake centerpiece competition. And what we do is people

58
00:02:43.759 --> 00:02:47.400
<v Speaker 3>will decorate cakes, and I mean they are phenomenal. They

59
00:02:47.439 --> 00:02:51.280
<v Speaker 3>are so fancy and cultated. Yes, yes, I mean, you know,

60
00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:53.960
<v Speaker 3>sometimes they're very simple. I mean sometimes simple is beautiful,

61
00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:56.439
<v Speaker 3>so they'll be very simple and beautiful, but sometimes they're

62
00:02:56.520 --> 00:03:00.520
<v Speaker 3>very intricate with little details of decorative time things that

63
00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:03.919
<v Speaker 3>are made out of candy or fondant or whatever type

64
00:03:03.919 --> 00:03:06.120
<v Speaker 3>of frosting that they might be using for it. And

65
00:03:06.479 --> 00:03:09.199
<v Speaker 3>so they usually they're kind of on a holiday type

66
00:03:09.240 --> 00:03:12.439
<v Speaker 3>theme too, so that people can purchase them. There are

67
00:03:12.479 --> 00:03:15.199
<v Speaker 3>centerpieces but they're up for a part of the silent.

68
00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:16.400
<v Speaker 2>Auction, so you can purchase them.

69
00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:19.719
<v Speaker 3>What I usually do is purchase one or two and

70
00:03:19.759 --> 00:03:22.319
<v Speaker 3>I plan on one for Thanksgiving and one for Christmas.

71
00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:25.159
<v Speaker 2>I wrap them up well and.

72
00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:27.080
<v Speaker 3>Cell a fane and put it in my freezer and

73
00:03:27.080 --> 00:03:29.639
<v Speaker 3>then pull it out and people think, I really have

74
00:03:29.719 --> 00:03:31.680
<v Speaker 3>a fancy dessert for the holidays.

75
00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:33.719
<v Speaker 2>And it was pretty easy. I got it at Bartlesvi

76
00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:34.599
<v Speaker 2>Lady's Connection.

77
00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:38.719
<v Speaker 3>But anyway, we do have a competition amongst it too,

78
00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:41.800
<v Speaker 3>and we'll have first, second, and third place prizes. The

79
00:03:41.840 --> 00:03:46.080
<v Speaker 3>first prize is dinner for two at Hill Chris Country Club,

80
00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:48.680
<v Speaker 3>second prize is dinner for two at Sterling's Grill, and

81
00:03:48.759 --> 00:03:52.039
<v Speaker 3>third prize is come Bartsville A's connection to people to

82
00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:54.319
<v Speaker 3>be able to come to that. So we have for

83
00:03:54.439 --> 00:03:56.840
<v Speaker 3>second and third place prizes for it. Everybody when they

84
00:03:56.879 --> 00:03:58.879
<v Speaker 3>come in the door gets a little marble and they

85
00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:01.919
<v Speaker 3>choose their favorite and they put the marble.

86
00:04:01.639 --> 00:04:03.400
<v Speaker 2>And the little cup next to the cake that they

87
00:04:03.520 --> 00:04:03.960
<v Speaker 2>like best.

88
00:04:04.520 --> 00:04:06.719
<v Speaker 3>Those all the cakes, like you said, are part of

89
00:04:06.759 --> 00:04:09.439
<v Speaker 3>the silent auction, but the top three go into the

90
00:04:09.479 --> 00:04:11.639
<v Speaker 3>live auction, and then we do a live auction and

91
00:04:11.639 --> 00:04:13.400
<v Speaker 3>that's a whole lot of fun too, and to be

92
00:04:13.439 --> 00:04:16.839
<v Speaker 3>able to raise some more money for our organization as well.

93
00:04:16.920 --> 00:04:18.920
<v Speaker 2>So it's really a fun time.

94
00:04:19.480 --> 00:04:23.000
<v Speaker 3>It's a neat uplifting day and things too, because again

95
00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:26.040
<v Speaker 3>we always have an inspirational speaker at our Bartlesville as

96
00:04:26.040 --> 00:04:29.800
<v Speaker 3>Connection events, and this one is coming to us from Texas.

97
00:04:29.879 --> 00:04:34.560
<v Speaker 3>She's coming from Amarillo and her name is Leney Jacob

98
00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:38.040
<v Speaker 3>and she talks about Toolbox for the Broken Soul, and

99
00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:41.040
<v Speaker 3>so she's got this really interesting little talk that she'll

100
00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:43.959
<v Speaker 3>be giving us as an inspiration for the events. So

101
00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:47.879
<v Speaker 3>one other thing that we have for this time, and

102
00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:49.439
<v Speaker 3>sometimes we do and sometimes we don't, is we have

103
00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:53.959
<v Speaker 3>a little raffle going to and Sudi Freeland has given

104
00:04:54.040 --> 00:04:58.160
<v Speaker 3>us a beautiful turquoise necklace that you've got to see

105
00:04:58.199 --> 00:05:01.759
<v Speaker 3>to believe. It's sterling silver and turquoise and one of

106
00:05:01.800 --> 00:05:04.120
<v Speaker 3>those oh I can't think of know what you call

107
00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:08.720
<v Speaker 3>the design for it. Anyway, it's fabulous, it's big, it's

108
00:05:08.759 --> 00:05:11.959
<v Speaker 3>big and fabulous, lots of turquoise, twelve hundred dollars value.

109
00:05:12.079 --> 00:05:14.600
<v Speaker 2>She gave it to us to part of a raffle.

110
00:05:15.040 --> 00:05:16.920
<v Speaker 2>So we have a raffle and you can get tickets

111
00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:17.839
<v Speaker 2>ahead of time.

112
00:05:17.920 --> 00:05:19.600
<v Speaker 3>You can just see me come by the station here

113
00:05:19.600 --> 00:05:21.120
<v Speaker 3>and if you can't come to the event and you're

114
00:05:21.160 --> 00:05:22.920
<v Speaker 3>interested in that, you can get tickets ahead of time,

115
00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:25.160

116
00:05:25.480 --> 00:05:28.720
<v Speaker 3>as well, but that's part of it. Also as part

117
00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:33.480
<v Speaker 3>of the raffle, there's a black Michael Coore's handbag too,

00:05:35.920 --> 00:05:38.680
<v Speaker 3>or that. Or there's also a set of Corinthian chimes.

120
00:05:38.839 --> 00:05:40.879
<v Speaker 3>Those are the chimes that you get like a green

121
00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:43.279
<v Speaker 3>thumb nursery that sound really beautiful, you know, and they

122
00:05:43.319 --> 00:05:46.160
<v Speaker 3>have a great tone to them. Okay, So anyway, there's

123
00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:48.800
<v Speaker 3>three items as part of our raffle, and so the

127
00:05:56.959 --> 00:05:58.680

131
00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:12.000
<v Speaker 3>The more Raffle tickets you buy, the price comes down

132

<v Speaker 2>So that's our fall fundraiser.

137
00:06:24.079 --> 00:06:26.680
<v Speaker 3>That's what we're doing. I'm coming up November fourteenth.

138
00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:28.079
<v Speaker 2>Again. It's a great meal.

139
00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:31.519
<v Speaker 3>We actually start Usually our luncheons are from eleven forty

140
00:06:31.519 --> 00:06:34.279
<v Speaker 3>five to one, but this one we start eleven fifteen

141
00:06:34.360 --> 00:06:36.920
<v Speaker 3>with the shopping, so we'll have shopping from eleven fifteen

142
00:06:37.040 --> 00:06:39.759
<v Speaker 3>to eleven forty five, so you can kind of pre

143
00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:42.720
<v Speaker 3>shop like that those who are working gals and basically

144
00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:45.079
<v Speaker 3>just have the hour that they can be there. If

145
00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:48.040
<v Speaker 3>you're still come at eleven forty five to one, you're

146
00:06:48.079 --> 00:06:49.319
<v Speaker 3>not going to miss anything. You know.

147
00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:52.199
<v Speaker 2>You just have to shop quicker. You just have to

148
00:06:52.199 --> 00:06:55.839
<v Speaker 2>make your speed shop exactly. But you can still be

149
00:06:55.879 --> 00:06:56.439
<v Speaker 2>a part of it.

150
00:06:56.759 --> 00:06:59.199
<v Speaker 3>We do need reservations because we do have to turn

151
00:06:59.199 --> 00:07:01.680
<v Speaker 3>in the count to to Hillcrest ahead of time so

152
00:07:01.720 --> 00:07:03.480
<v Speaker 3>that they'll know how many are coming, how many to

153
00:07:03.560 --> 00:07:05.240
<v Speaker 3>plan for how many tables we're going to have this

154
00:07:05.319 --> 00:07:07.839
<v Speaker 3>type of thing, So we need to have that by

155
00:07:07.879 --> 00:07:11.480
<v Speaker 3>Tuesday the twelfth at noon, so we can let them know,

156
00:07:11.639 --> 00:07:14.560
<v Speaker 3>so anytime between now and then again, just let me

157
00:07:14.600 --> 00:07:17.839
<v Speaker 3>know at the station and we'll get you a reservation

158
00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:21.680
<v Speaker 3>for it and you pay at the door. We'll take cash,

159
00:07:21.759 --> 00:07:24.319
<v Speaker 3>check your credit card. Usually we don't take credit cards,

160
00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:26.800
<v Speaker 3>but for this event we do take credit card, and

161
00:07:27.160 --> 00:07:29.560
<v Speaker 3>because we know people have larger purchases and things like

162
00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:31.879
<v Speaker 3>this for what they're doing, so we'll be taking credit

163
00:07:31.879 --> 00:07:33.519
<v Speaker 3>card for that if.

164
00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:34.319
<v Speaker 2>We want to plan ahead.

165
00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:37.920
<v Speaker 3>We're already working ahead toward our Winter Wonderland Luncheon. That's

166
00:07:37.920 --> 00:07:39.720
<v Speaker 3>our December luncheon, and we're going to be at Tri

167
00:07:39.839 --> 00:07:43.279

168
00:07:43.360 --> 00:07:45.560
<v Speaker 3>and the team out there does a great job with lunch,

169
00:07:45.560 --> 00:07:47.839
<v Speaker 3>so we have a good time with that. We're actually

170
00:07:47.839 --> 00:07:50.600
<v Speaker 3>going to have a fashion show. Have some quilted dresses

171
00:07:50.800 --> 00:07:54.720
<v Speaker 3>that are really interesting. They're beautiful, fun dresses that a

172
00:07:54.800 --> 00:07:58.439
<v Speaker 3>local gal here makes and they're kind of an artisan

173
00:07:58.519 --> 00:08:03.120
<v Speaker 3>type of address quill to dress, and most of her

174
00:08:03.279 --> 00:08:06.439
<v Speaker 3>sales go to boutiques over like in the Bella Vista

175
00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:09.480
<v Speaker 3>area and stuff too, because they are so unique and special.

176
00:08:10.279 --> 00:08:12.480
<v Speaker 3>I have one I love it. It's the most comfortable

177
00:08:12.519 --> 00:08:14.879
<v Speaker 3>thing you've ever worn. And I almost put it on today.

178
00:08:14.879 --> 00:08:16.279
<v Speaker 3>I should have too bad. I should have been you

179
00:08:16.279 --> 00:08:18.959
<v Speaker 3>could have seen it on the Facebook Live today. But anyway,

180
00:08:19.199 --> 00:08:23.319
<v Speaker 3>it's really a fun little dress to wear. So's that's
