Speaker 1: Bonnie, good morning, good morning, Welcome, welcome, welcome, and it's
Speaker 1: time now for our community connection right here on K one,
Speaker 1: the one you trust. Oh my goodness, Akes it's spectacular.
Speaker 1: It is the Samaritan Counseling and Growth said, it's annual.
Speaker 2: What is the nineteenth Wow? The Samaritan Sports Botackula, How
Speaker 2: you doing? How you doing? Kristen?
Speaker 3: Well good, thanks for having us today.
Speaker 1: It's always a pleasure to have friends in any old
Speaker 1: day that ends. And why And I'm just going to
Speaker 1: ask why haven't everyone in town purchased a ticket for
Speaker 1: this yet? I know there's only like maybe three or
Speaker 1: four seats left, so I just kind of kidnaped that one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're missing out if they're not coming. It is
Speaker 3: a fun event. It's a casual event, which kind of
Speaker 3: sets it apart from others.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's real fun when you can wear your
Speaker 1: favorite jerseys, you know, like Misteriane's doing here. And so
Speaker 1: I tell us, how do how do we when we
Speaker 1: talk about putting this big sports potacular on?
Speaker 2: We do raise money? Tell us where it goes?
Speaker 4: So the funds raise go to help us subsidize counseling
Speaker 4: services for our community. We offer a range of services
Speaker 4: at Samaritan, and a lot of times sometimes folks can't
Speaker 4: really afford the full rate, so utilize these funds to
Speaker 4: help subsidize that cost, to reduce it a significant amount,
Speaker 4: so we don't have to turn anyone away because of
Speaker 4: their inability to pay.
Speaker 2: And we're relocated.
Speaker 4: We are at two forty five Southeast Madison Boulevard, right
Speaker 4: across the street from Sooner Park.
Speaker 2: Scenic, very scenic, very beautiful, very good.
Speaker 1: Now, Kristen, this isn't your your first sports spectacular now
Speaker 1: and you've done something with your whole board, with your
Speaker 1: whole committee. You changed it just a little bit, but
Speaker 1: I think possibly for the better. What have we done
Speaker 1: as far as having our big speakers?
Speaker 3: Yes, so this year typically we have one maybe two,
Speaker 3: and this year we decided to go with the panel,
Speaker 3: so all ties to Bartlesville past Bartlesville athletes are coaches,
Speaker 3: so different sports this year, so it can draw everybody
Speaker 3: in those that have played in high school and gone
Speaker 3: on to play in college. So we have five speakers
Speaker 3: and then a moderator.
Speaker 5: So we have Morgan.
Speaker 3: Lawrence Hayes, we have Jared Hicks, we have Campbell Barta,
Speaker 3: We have David Castillo, and we have Clinton Stewart speaking
Speaker 3: on the panel. So good group of folks there. And
Speaker 3: then of course our moderator, the voice of the Bartithow Bruins,
Speaker 3: Evan far Bar.
Speaker 2: There we go. So we're really keeping at local here.
Speaker 2: I like that.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, this is going to draw a lot of people.
Speaker 1: It already has, but we still have four more seats
Speaker 1: to go. So I don't know what you guys are doing.
Speaker 1: Pony up, let's go.
Speaker 2: This is going to be a great time. Where are
Speaker 2: we holding this?
Speaker 4: So it's gonna at the Hilton Garden End in downtown
Speaker 4: downtown Bartlesville on Saturday evening at six six, six o'clock.
Speaker 5: I think yeah, because I'll be there.
Speaker 4: We'll be there from Friday morning through probably Sunday morning.
Speaker 1: It will probbly be hot. So it's really good that
Speaker 1: it's inside here. I'm right downtown centrally Lokay, you can't
Speaker 1: miss it. If you do well in folks, you need
Speaker 1: to go see your eye doctor. Absolutely, this is going
Speaker 1: to be a lot of fun. Now, nineteen years of
Speaker 1: the Sports Spectacular and every year it's good. It's similar,
Speaker 1: but yet it's different. Each one has its own vibe
Speaker 1: and each one has its own little remembrance, and you
Speaker 1: don't want to you don't want to bypass a memory.
Speaker 2: Because these are all very good memories.
Speaker 1: A lot of people just giving each other the ration
Speaker 1: and having a lot of fun, plus raising money for
Speaker 1: a great host.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, Now are we are.
Speaker 1: We supposed to be going like cowboys and I know,
Speaker 1: I su sooners and you know, and just everybody and
Speaker 1: anybody and just kind of giving everybody you know the business.
Speaker 3: Yes, So you can attire, just wear whatever sports theme
Speaker 3: or just casual that is your preference. You may go
Speaker 3: in OSU, I may be an ou.
Speaker 1: But we're all friends, but we're all teammates when we
Speaker 1: get there.
Speaker 4: We're all there for maybe competing against each other in
Speaker 4: sports that we're all working together for one cost.
Speaker 1: And that's really what it's all about, is having some
Speaker 1: fun and also making some money for a cause that wow,
Speaker 1: I tell you, there are so many people who need
Speaker 1: the services that Samaritan provides, and like you said, sometimes
Speaker 1: it can be cost prohibited, and in order to raise
Speaker 1: a little bit of money here so that more people
Speaker 1: can be helped and become just a little bit better
Speaker 1: with themselves and with the world means.
Speaker 2: All the world to them.
Speaker 5: It certainly does.
