  Speaker 1: we're going to kick off our Crider Services talk Line
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: today with a look back at some activity that recently
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: took place. As a matter of fact, we are going
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: to go back a few days to the Florissa five
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: K run walk that was held at Stock Valley Community College.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Sooe give us the lowdown. How did that go?
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: Yes, there was a wonderful day we had. We started
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: out with the kids run at eight point thirty and
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: they ran I called a big square there and they
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: had a great time doing that. And then we started
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: with our five k at around nine o'clock and we
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: had lots of participants and it was just a beautiful
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: day out for everyone to enjoy and for a great
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: cost for our Florissa five k that goes nothing but
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: towards our FLORESSA program.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. The Florissa Center, of course, is part of the
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Crider services outreach. This is the youth branch, right, Sue,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: This is the youth.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: Yes it is right, just a youth, yes it is.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: It is are used to eighteen years old. So yeah,
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: we start you know, they start with babies on up.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: So that is the children division of our of our
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: division of Krider exactly.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: You know, because services with Crider, you'll start that young.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: This could be from infant to as you mentioned, age eighteen.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: But we we take care of those children's areas through
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: the Florissa Center. Now the actual physical center is located
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: on North Court, but again Florissa gets out to all
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: of as we mentioned, just like Crider to most of
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Noel and Illinois with their special programs and activities. And
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: we spotlight the Florissa five K because that's the fundraiser.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: That's where the moneys go again from the Florissa five
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: K of Soft Valley Community College into the Florisa Center.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: So a very successful event there. So we're going to
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: continue our review into last weekends Dixon Petunia Festival, where
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: you had some information you wanted to share, Yes, I do.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: First I want to would like to thank the Petunia
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Festival committee and everyone that they're volunteers, as our individuals
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: thoroughly enjoyed it and went to lots of events there.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: They enjoyed the art show, the Brush and Bloom, they
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: enjoyed the car show was probably a big hit for us.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: They also liked the quiet hours for our individuals that
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: they did daily, So we have some people that don't
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: like all the noise and stuff, so that was very
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: very nice to them. Some of our individuals on Thursday
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: had made homemade cookies here in our kitchen and they
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: went to the Dixon Police station to drop those off
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: for them. So that was something that very thoughtful, our
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: DSPs and our managers thought of so great. I want
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: well thank them for doing that as well, because our
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: individuals now understand what volunteering and also what themmunity is
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: all about. So it was very very nice for them
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: to do that.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Nice. So again, clients of Chriyder, you know, participating in
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Dixon Petunia Festival events and activities during this sixty first annual,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: which was last weekend, talk about the art show, Nuts
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: about Art to John Dixon, talk about Brush and Bloom
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: that was at the old Lee County Courthouse. There were
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: again Criyder participants at these area events. And I'm glad
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: you brought up the quiet time Sue with the carnival.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: This is rather unique that the carnival does this, but
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: they've done this for the last couple of years, and this,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: you know, kind of goes to those that are our
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: need of you know, not so much the noises of
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: a carnival midway, they quiet it down for those. And
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: you know, as far as you know, Chriyder is concerned,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: I'm sure that there are those clients there maybe are
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: more susceptible to sounds, you know, and they need to
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: tas all right.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: Yes, Also the Florisa Florisa individuals over there as well
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: that participate in the Florissa programs. That was huge for
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: them as well. For the children. Yeah, and bounds and
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: seizures and all that disorders. It really really helped us.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: All actually absolutely, And you know there are some of
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: those you know, individuals that do suffer, you know, and
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: it's not you know, their fault, you know, they are
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: suffering from you know, maybe you know, a situation that
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: is in need of this quiet time that the carnival provides.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: So I think it's really neat that the Carnival does
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: that for us every year, provides that quiet time at
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: the Dixon Patunia Festival. So there you go, the Petunia
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Festival wrap up through Crider Services as well. And really
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: neat that they made those delicacies for the police department.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: They really deserve those at the Dixon Police Department during
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: the Dixon Patunia Festival. Su Lee Eely is our guess.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: She is the administrative manager of Crider Services. We're talking
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: about Crider projects and news and information from Crider. This
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: morning with Sue on WIXIMP. So let's go ahead and
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: jump right into an activity that's going to be taking
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: place a just a couple of days now. We've been
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: kind of you know, promoting this activity for the last
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: couple of months, but here it comes this coming Thursday,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: take us through the Meaningful Day of Golf.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: Yes, this Thursday, we have the Meaningful Day of Golf.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: It will be at Blost Nation Golf Course this year.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: Start time is we'll be teeing off at twelve o'clock.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: It will be All funds raised from this goes to
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: our Meaningful Day program. So lots of different things that
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: I've talked about previously that this Meaningful Day money funds for,
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: if nothing, but for individuals to participate in different activities
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: that they really cannot afford, or just different things objects
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: that they need to buy or anything like that. So
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: we have a committee that approves this and so it
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: is a great, great event, and it also goes to
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: a very very meaningful cause for us. So, yeah, Last
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Nation Golf Course at twelve o'clock, and we don't play
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: games on our court. We just pretty much figure that
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: you're giving your afternoon up for us. So we let
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: you enjoy it with your foursome. So our board is
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: very very passionate about that, which is nice. So then
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: around when they get done golfing, we just have some
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: hamburgers hot dogs and then mingle a little bit. So
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: it is a great afternoon.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Now, as has been in the past, this is
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: the way it's organized, and it has been in the past,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: this organization of the meaningful day of golf. Now it's
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: a change of venues. Who mentioned it's a Lost Nation
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: this year it's July the tenth, it's this Thursday. They'll
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: have eighteen holes of golf. They'll have that casual dinner
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: as who mentioned, but they will have some draw prizes
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: of a fifty through drawing as well, along with some
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: other giveaways. This will be after the golf takes place
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: on the course at Lost Nation. Now sue the burning
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: question here, we're two days away from golf a Lost Nation.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Is there any chance of anybody still getting into this?
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: We would never say no, Okay, okay, yeah, okay, So yeah,
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: if you're passionate about coming, please do or make a
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: donation to Crider either way. Yes, so yeah, we would
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: never say no to anything like that. Our course is full,
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: plus a couple other foursomes, but still we could still
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: fit in somewhere.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: All right, very good. So again, if you really want,
