• 2:02
  Speaker 5: so ah, you know another another incentive.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: Now that's a neat event.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: And I've seen that some of the video and it's amazing.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so there's quite a party.
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: Well hopefully you can attend and you can always be
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: a performer.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: I don't know about that. I don't get you. We'll
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: get you up there doing that.
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: It's just about a performance. I mean, we really don't
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: look at the singing as much as the performance itself.
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: So it's whatever you can put together that you.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: Can mind, you can dance, you can be a star.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah that's not really I didn't try to talk me
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: into that since middle school and I'm not going I've
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: told him no before, but I did get talked into
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: doing the Nutcracker one, so it is possible.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: But the rest of the family did it like.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: Twenty or thirty times, so that was it took a
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: lot of trying and that was fun. And yeah, but
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: concerned to talk about Churches United for Community Concerned, I mean,
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: this is an organization that goes back decades in our city.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: And is it true Bartlesville Original.
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: Yes, we've been in existing since nineteen sixty seven, so
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: I guess you and I were born than not so
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: much melody. It's a considered effort with seventeen churches that
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: determined it was better to put their resources together and
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: provide a better type of service with food and financial assistance,
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: and we are still doing both of those services to
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: this day. We have increased our food distribution from six
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: times a year to once every thirty days, and we
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: are able to do that because of our capital improvements
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: that we received through Line Foundation, the City of Bartlesville,
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: the Community Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma, and recently we
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: received Oklahoma DHS grant for a walking cooler, so we
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: have a walk in freezer. So we were able to
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: free up some space for dry goods and that type
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: of thing, so we're able to actually serve more people
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: because of the gifts that we received through these grants.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: That's awesome. And the need, I understand, the need just
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: keeps growing.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: And you know, thousands of people need this food service
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: every month now and they do.
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: It's the new families that are coming in that really
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: are kind of astonishing us because the increase is each year.
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: You would think it would kind of level out at
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: some point, but it hasn't, so the Great jour need
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: is still there. We're still an emergency food pantry, so
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: it's food for four to seven days. However, you can
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: pull it out together and then financial assistance is up
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: to one hundred and fifty dollars per household per year,
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: and it could be a pass to utility bill, a prescription,
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: it could be a gas card for an out of
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: town medical appointment because a lot of people have doctor's
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: appointments in Tulsa and those type of things.
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: That's awesome, and it's so neat that the church is
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: coming together and coordinating the service that I think it's
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: not atypical here in Bartlesville because so much of our
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: safety net and the nonprofits work together and really try
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: to coordinate and not overlap, but provide that great support
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: for our community when people do need help. And so
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: the event is coming up on September twenty first and
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: the third annual, and you can still get a spot
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: and how does that work? What do they do if
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: they want to actually participate in the karaoke?
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: So just send an email. You can go to Concerncares
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: dot com. There's a performers packet, there is a place
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: to buy tickets. You can buy tables and get that
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: eighth ticket for free. And there's still I believe they're
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: still at advertisement up there too. So there's a small
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: business that wants to do an ad in our program.
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: We every little bit helps. Yes, you don't realize, you know,
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: we've had over twenty new families a month, so it's.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: That's amazing.
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and your capital improvements and all that that's been
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: going on now for about a year.
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: I guess it started last year in October with the
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: new roof. So that was the Lion Foundation part of
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: their grant. So we were able to leverage grants through
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: the city and through the food bank and because of
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: that line Foundation said you're able to obtain this additional
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: money for the remaining capital improvements. New restrooms. We had
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: a restroom that had pink tiles and the port men's
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: restroom was just like a little closet. So now we
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: have closet.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: And then the biggest getting the freezer, especially for Melody
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: as the pantry manager, is big to be able to
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: store the frozen foods that as opposed to eighteen various freezerschestrasers.
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: Sure, I can imagine going into the chest phraser in
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: the bottom. You know, it's not a hanging in there,
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: so sure that.
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was much better when you're doing all the.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: Process and move through your program. Yeah, that is amazing.
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: And so since nineteen sixty seven, and I know there's
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: lots of volunteer opportunities and ways for people to become involved,
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: and many of them probably through their churches. But tell
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: us about that and what you guys do and how
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: people can be involved with the different.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: Roles are well.
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: Melodies also our volunteer coordinators, So.
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: We have all kinds of opportunities. I have groups that
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: come in and they you know, you don't think about
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: having to clean a pantry and you'd take everything off
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: the shelf and reput it in. You have a group
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: of a youth group. We have youth groups that come
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: in anything like that. If you want to do a
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: food drive, we always need peanut better always always the
• 8:00
  Speaker 5: peanut butter. And you know, I do have a consistent
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: group of volunteers that are I could not do this
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: without them. None of us could do anything without our volunteers.
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: And they are great, and most of them are from
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: our churches. But you know, we have front desk and
• 8:17
  Speaker 5: intake that they deal with the clients. And then you
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: have the pantry people that fill and you have the
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: people that repackage. We buy big things of sugar and
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: pancake mix and you know they get little er bags,
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: but they don't necessarily you know, so I have to
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: have somebody that sets and repackages all that.
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: No, it is it's labor intensive stuff that you guys
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: do and getting it all ready and for organized for the.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: People to pick up and then and some you probably
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: deliver some of it.
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we have three senior complexes that we actually delivered
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: to once a month, so we've got about seventy five.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: I take advantage.
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: There's like one hundred and ninety two units that are
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: eligible in about seven you take advantage of it.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's awesome, what a great story.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: And all started right here in Bartlesville by our community churches.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: It is such a great organization. So it's awesome to hear.
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: And the lip sync and contest coming up on September
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: twenty first at the Hilton Garden End. And you said
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: tickets are available and that gets you food and drinks and.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: All the entertainment. Entertainment. That's quite fun and it's a
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: big fun.
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: This is our this is our money.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: This is where the most of the money comes from.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: Big one.
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: And we did yet another event a few months ago
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: that was really cool, I thought, where we went into
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: the downtown Bartlesville and got to visit well received.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: It was such a great, great event.
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: And we were able to partner with Downtown Bartlesville and
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: Young Professional Group and that might not be something that
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: we do every year, but we were very appreciative for
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: the opportunity to be able to do a show.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: Unique to get into some of those renovated spaces.
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, oh yeah, no, it was a lot of fun.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: I did enjoy that. Good times.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of other stuff going around on this
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: weekend in the community. We've got the Samaritan Sports Spectacular

• 11:04
  Speaker 3: then coming up next Tuesday, we've got the Empty Bowls
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: lunching fundraiser at the Community Center. Another really good one

  Speaker 3: having lunch next Tuesday, and I bet you can still
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: get some tickets for that too, and that's a really
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: great one where you can sample all the great Bartlesvieel
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: restaurants and lots of fun stuff going on and well
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: and there's you know, we're with school getting back in
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: and getting into the fall pattern, these beautiful mornings like
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: this morning, it was so nice and cool, and you
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: know it's still we'll see if we can make some more. Yeah, no,
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: it always people seem to forget. But every August this
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: starts to happen, where the days get shorter and every
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: northwest flow comes in. Since it's almost there, and we've
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: got model year in close out at the dealership on
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: a lot of our vehicles. We've got transitioning over from
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: the twenty fours onto the twenty five, so we're starting to.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: Get those in.
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: I've got a new Explorers, the twenty five Explorers redesigned,
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: and really excited about that. Later this month we'll have
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: our first Crown Insignia, which is a Crown is the
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: new top of the line sedan for Toyota that replaced
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: the Avalon and so they're going to make a small
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: suv version of that that's going to be a really
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: neat car.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: We've done.
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: We have done really well with the Crown as it's
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: been launched this year, and just really really great inventory
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: right now on both all sides, on the Ford and
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: Toyota side, god A, prius, A Camra, a Venza, rab
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: for Siena, several tacomas that are on the ground and
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: several coming.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: We've got a Sequoia.
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: That will be here any day now, should be here
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: this week. That one is actually not spoken for. We've
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: got a couple of them that are sold in the pipeline.
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: But that's the thing with the large suv from Toyota now,
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: it's not They have not been able to keep up
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: with demand on many of our of our models, and
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: you can see that when you look at the Toyota
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: a lot. But another thing that's done is is we're
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: out there we want to buy or use Toyota. The
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: demand for new Toyotas has raised the value of those
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: cars to be relative to the new vehicle, it will
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: probably be never worth more, and the people are searching
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: for the used.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: Cars more and more.
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: You mentioned the more families coming to you. We see
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: that in our business too, with inflation and the higher
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: interest rates and trying to help people get into that.
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: You know, they need a car, they need transportation, and
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: and a lot of times we're trying to help people
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: manage that situation and get the best value they can
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: out of their transportation. And and it has been more
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: difficult in recent years with higher costs and and but
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: if you've got to use Toyota, an extra vehicle or
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: something that that we could make an offer on, we're
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: making outstanding offers and to pay top dollar for a
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: used Toyota, especially a nice local one that we've got
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: a history on. And and uh, your cars are worth
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: more than ever before you've got to use Toyota, that's
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: for sure. The lots of other cool stuff going on.
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: I've seen more and more on similar lines, more and
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: more leasing. Uh people are that's a way to get
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: your payment lower and h and not have to worry
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: about the ups and downs and vehicle values. You know,
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: after two or three years, if you drove the right
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: amount of miles you plan to that you can just
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: walk away from the vehicle and not have to worry
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: about any inequity or anything. And that gives you a
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: chance to drive a new car again every three years
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: or so, which we see a lot of people do that,
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: and sometimes if they do it and extend their loan
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: beyond that period they're driving, they can reach a situation
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: they call inequity or being upside down in quotes, and
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: that just means you owe more on the car than
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: it's actually worth. And you know, when you're not wanting
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: the car anymore, it's got issues that can be a problem.
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: And you know, so we have done just we really
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: try to help our customers work through those things and
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: understand what's going on and make good decisions on that.
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: With our professional noncommissioned sales associates, they really never want
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: to put pressure on you to do something that's not
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: good for you. They're there to take care of you
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: and make the best help you make the best decisions.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: And you know.
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: With our simple pricing, we do go out and do
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: a market based pricing daily on all our vehicles and
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: adjust them to to what is a fair fair value
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: for all our cars. And we do that, you know,
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: so that you know, to make the negotiation simpler, make
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: it easier for you to get an actual, uh, you know,
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: true payment and know what you're going to it's going
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: to cost.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: You don't have hidden fees.
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: And things that are you know that you know, we've
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: tried to clearly say what we've if we've added something
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: to the vehicle, what we've added, and what's optional or
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: not and just make all that as.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: Clear and simple as possible.
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: And that's a real tenet of how we do business
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: and and we're going to keep doing that.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: And if that's.
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: Attractive to you, come talk to our team. You know,
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: I know a lot of people have been asking about
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: our sale of the Forward store that is progressing. We're
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: working with Bill Knight Ford to sell the Forward Store.
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: We are planning to keep Toyota. We're going to keep

  Speaker 3: going and do what done just says done now for
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: ninety five years here in Oklahoma is taking selling cars,
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: taking care of our friends and family and great employees
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: we have, and you know, I'm really well, it's sad
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: to have the relationship with Ford end. You know, it's
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: a new day and it's not the end of it.
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: It's really another beginning. And you know, we're a third

• 17:31
  Speaker 3: dealership and that's all rare and we do want to
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: keep that going. And you know, to think that in
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: ninety five years, we hadn't had to adjust and change
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: and adapt.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: You'd be wrong the wait ten minutestures and other change.
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: No, it's true, and you know that it's one of
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: those things where it kind of has a life of
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: its own in some ways. And you know, I'm proud
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: to be a part of that. It was wasn't something
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: I really planned to do or expected to do at
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: I didn't want to do it when I was young,
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: and and but it did attract me in the end.
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: And I love the business and the people that I
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: work with, and and the opportunity to serve our customers
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: and the community and participate with things like Concern. And
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: you know, I know my grandmother was really proud of
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: of of that. I mean because she was at one
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: of the churches when they when they created this at
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: atu at the you know, a Methodist church, and they
• 18:31

  Speaker 2: holding so important. We all work together.

  Speaker 4: the community support that we do receive.
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, you can tell.
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: It's a work of the Cohole community and all the

• 23:17
  Speaker 3: of your event and then just people who want to

• 23:40
  Speaker 2: Hassled out before I think.

  Speaker 1: So, oh it has but it is Bartleswild and that

• 23:51
  Speaker 2: You know the routine. Wow.
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: Great to get to hear what's going on. And I'm
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: glad your capital improvements are nearing completion. There any other
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: things planned around the corner or needs you have?
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: I mean, well, the biggest issue, as everybody is having
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: the same issue, is the cost of food and the
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: availability of food at the food bank and the ability
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: to make sure that we have the right foods at
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: the right time. So we do partner with some of
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: the schools that will do like a quick peanut butter
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: or cereal drive in that second school, doesn't it. Yeah,
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: And we are now in talks with churches that haven't
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: supported us recently but are coming back home. They realize
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: that if they are able to refer people to Concern
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: as opposed to trying to take care of it themselves,
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: it's just a better product overall. So we're very blessed.
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: You'll see a little if you attend the event, you'll
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: see a little video of what we're thankful for, what
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: we're blessed for for twenty twenty four, so it's it's
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: been a really great year. We want to have an
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: open house, mostly for our church supporters, but also for
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: the community, just to show what we've done with the
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: capital improvements, like on a Sunday afternoon.
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: Awesome.
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: Well, we'll look forward to hearing about that, and we
• 25:18
