• 0:51
  Speaker 1: couple of weeks back, Soup, because the last time we

  Speaker 1: a few more stragglers up for the Meaningful Day of
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Golf event that Crier Services held in the month of July.
• 1:05

  Speaker 1: were just about ready to tee it off. We were
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: almost again ready to go, barely able to take any
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: more participants into the Meaningful Day of Golf that was
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: held in July. How'd it go?
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: It went really well. We had twenty two foursomes of golfers.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: We had a Lost Nation golf course this year, and
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: we want to thank you to them. They did a
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: wonderful job for us out there. They had the meals
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: were great, the lunch was great, golf course is in
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: great shape, pretty good strape and we just had a
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: wonderful time we had. Like I said, we had twenty
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: two foursome, so it worked out really well for us there.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and a good participant and because of that, the
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Meaningful Day Program will get supported. This is a fundraiser
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: right to moneies. Proceeds go to the Meaningful Day Program
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: at Crider Services.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Yes, all proceeds from our golf outing goes to our
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: Meaningful Day Program, which is nothing but for our individuals
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: that we support. So it is a great it is
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: a great event that we put on that and along
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: with the Gala this last year, all that money raised
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: helps support those individuals that want to make their day
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: more meaningful and it varies obviously within our within our
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: organization or agency. So we just can't say enough about
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: how well it went. We like to thank our sponsors, obviously,
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Boss Carpets, CLA, you know, Stock Valley Bank, Mississippi First
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: National Bank, Cruss Foods. It's just with out of them,
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: it just would not would not be a golf outing
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: like we have.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: And yeah, it's through those sponsors that you know, again,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: the organization is able to put on a golf tournament
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: likely do. This is their annual This is an annual
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: fundraiser for the Meaningful Day Program. As a matter of fact,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: we're going to talk about the Meaningful Day Program in
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: a few more minutes with Sue right here on w
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: i XAM. Want to trip ahead to the month of
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: August and just recently Chrider Alliance was busy Sue with
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: this first part of August. Fill us in on this.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Yes, we have our annual meeting which is done every
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: August and it's the Criter Alliance and it was done
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: August fourth this year. And what we do at this
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: meeting is we look back and see how the year
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: went and is going throughout the Alliance, which is our
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: parents group here at KRIID. And also this time we
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: have our recipients of our scholarships and they gave away
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: seven scholarships this year, so we had four of the
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: four five five of the seven were here and they
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: did a little little presentation for us and they were
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: all so happy, happy, happy to receive the recipient of this.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: And then also their stories were just really touching of
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: why they are into this field that they're getting into.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: We had a couple of special needs teachers that were
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: going into we had a nurse, we had a speech
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: speech pathologist, so it was just a ride variety and
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: it also is just so meaningful for what we do
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: here at KRIDER. How they're getting involved in this, that's great.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: It's wonderful to hear the stories. And again Sue mentioned,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: you know scholarship. Now these individuals who are are they
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: all in high school or are some attending college or
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: how does this work now with the change.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: We had one the individuals, the recipient, she is in
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: her third year and she has two more years left
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: to go for speech to pathology, so she applied and
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: was the recipient of it. The other ones were pretty
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: much in high school and they were from the Alliance
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: opened it up to just not Lee County, so we
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: did touch Joe Davies County, which we have homes up there,
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: and we also hit our Whiteside County which we have
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: homes over there in Rock Falls. So it was it
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: was a tough one to judge this year because of
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: all the scholarships, but I believe that the committee picked
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: out a great seven seven individuals well.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: And as you mentioned, and as you mentioned, to the criteria,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: the really the bottom line criteria was that you had
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: to want to again excel in a service that was
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: connected a human need services or a service connected with
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: the Criter cause in order to qualify for these scholarships.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: And you mentioned Sue, sounds like we've got a great
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: cross section of you know, students that are going to
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: be educated in these fields that we'll be able to
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: aid Criter. So again, as Sue mentioned again, a great
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Chrider Alliance Annual meeting held the first part of August.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Crider Alliance of course always looking right Sue at membership.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: We've we've talked about that before. People can you know,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: become involved in the Crider cause through Crider Alliance right.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Sue Ealely is our guest today. She is the administrative
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: manager of Crider Services, our guest on the Monday morning

• 6:36
  Speaker 1: areas that we wanted to talk about before we let

• 7:39
  Speaker 2: vendors there as well throughout the organ throughout the Elks
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: that you can purchase things. And then I think it
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: goes like kind of like you buy the quarters and
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: then the highest bitter gets the I think they have
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: fifteen or sixteen different items up there, so it's it
• 7:54

  Speaker 1: Franklin Grove Road. This is just across the street. If

• 8:13
  Speaker 1: then you know where the Dixon xx Club is because
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: it's right across the street. But again, it's very convenient

  Speaker 1: at the day Enough's Club on August the nineteenth. This
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: is Tuesday again again a great fundraiser for Crider Services.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: So we wanted to tail out of the program going
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: back to the Meaningful Day program because you had some
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: you know, activities that were recently held that kind of
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: spotlighted the Meaningful Day program and what the you know,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: the golf fundraiser was all about.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: Right, So, like I have said before, the Meaningful Day
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: funds raised from that ghost to our individuals. Last week
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: we did a fun event in a cup fun day
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: in the in the park here behind Crider which is
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: a beautiful park, and they had our individuals got to
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: participate in a foam party. Nice to get all our
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: individuals out there. They were just having an absolute ball
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: out there along with our staff, which was nice to see.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: So and there you go ook up, you.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: Know, yeah, it breaks up some of that. So, like
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: I said, you know, the machines and all that cost money,
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: so the Meaningful Day took care that for them and
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: we can do fun events like this.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: Zef just a prime example of what the Meaningful Day
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: program does for Crider clients. And again, as Sue mentioned,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: with that golf fundraiser now in the books, there's more
• 10:11
