• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Upcoming weather event that's approaching from the southwest. Thankfully it's
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: gonna snow in Colorado. I think finally the h I've
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: been watching that open to go skiing, but who knows
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: if that's possible the uh.
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: But we're all uh getting ready at the dealership. We do.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: There's a few things you want to do with your vehicle,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: you know, with winter weather if people aren't really used
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: to it around here. So there is a bit of
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: of uh, maybe a little extra excite. That's how I'll say.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: All right, I got Robert Phillips from the Y here. Yes,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: am I good to have you back on the show.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: Robert.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: I know there's always stuff going on at the y
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: every day and probably.
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: Even in the in the snow storms. So yes, we're ready.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: We've found on jumper tables are jumper packs, so we're
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: ready for our members that do come in that's not prepared.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: There you go, well, no, that's outstanding. And there's you know,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: like I said, a full calendar of events coming up
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: and we'll talk about that. I look forward to catching
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: up with Robert, and we are busy at the dealership.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: It's as everybody's been getting ready for the snowstorm. Service
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: has been pretty busy, you know, you do, I do
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: want to make too light of it. I mean, obviously,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: when we get these extreme cold temperatures, things like your
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: battery are really stressed out. If you have a weak battery,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: this can can put extra stress on it and you
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: don't want to be meaning to to replace that when
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: it's three or four degrees. So the batteries, your windshield
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: wipers of course, you're you know.
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: Anti freeze, the tires.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Tire tread is super important in a winter driving it,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: and you know a few other things.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: You just want to make sure.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: If you want us to do a quick check out
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: of your vehicle, you can bring it in and the
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: team will do that and maybe take care of your maintenance.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: At the same time I mentioned, we've been really busy
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: at the dealership. We get two allocations from Toyota a
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: month and the mid month when it's called sales base,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: and that was Tuesday night. We were actually number five
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: in the Gulf States region, which is five states, about
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty dealerships, and we were the number
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: five and percent of objective for the month of January
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: through the twentieth So that was that's great. We've been
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: on a really tour at pace so far this year,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: and maybe that people have been getting ready for the
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: for the winter weather or something. It's a lot of
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: interest in in Toyota's. There's just a great value on
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: a Toyota I did. Uh. You know, we have great
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: brand new twenty twenty six RAP four coming out.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: We've had three of those allocated to us before.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: They're all we haven't seen them yet, but they're all
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: pre sold and so that's what it's going to be
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: like on the brand new WRAP four for a while
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: until inventory stabilizes later this year. But great, great to
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: have that problem. And you know, I think just a
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: really exciting time at the dealership. But let's talk about
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: the why you guys have always, like I said, every
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: day there's stuff going on there helping you know, families, individuals,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: you know, with all kinds of things. Really, people think
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: about the why. Maybe some people will think of it
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: as a gym. Some people think of it as a
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: place to play, you know, for your kids to go
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: play basketball, for instance. We did a lot of that
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: when my kids were younger. We you know, it's a
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: daycare center, you guys are it's a swim lesson the
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: place you place teach most most of the people in
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: our community to swim.
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: I think, yes, we've start off the year.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: Really, we picked up a new school to offer our
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: second grade swim lessons, a small school, uh pe Huscar
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: actually really and we actually did the first second and
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: third graders of that school early January. So we've out.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: You know, it's just not Bartlesvill, WIAMCA. It's really a
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: community area of WAYAMCA. So we start off with swim
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: lessons there and you know there's a lot going on,
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: wrapping up for basketball leagues. I could sign up for
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: another little ballers league and just constantly busy. The pool
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: is open, you know, we opened the building at five am.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I used to come in for that early morning swim.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: I was thinking it's starting. They were coming in so
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: point here again.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: But yeah, well this is a time you know, the
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: pool a little bit cooler, you know, so it's a
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: good time for it's cold. It's not cold, you know,
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: we much right there on eighty two degrees is where
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: we keep. It goes up and down just a few
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: degrees according to the air temperature.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: It's it's hard to heat that water up.
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: When there's a lot of water.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: So we have a lot going on there, you know,
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: open to you know, ten o'clock at night, so with
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: the swim lessons of basketball and then obviously our Father
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: Dara dance coming up.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, that's a big event. I think they've been
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: doing that for a few years now.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Yes, I think we've been doing close to twelve years.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: And we have some Disney characters showing up, so we
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: always have those show up with pictures with the girls.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: Some of the deads try again there too, but the
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: girls really excited. This year we have Alice from also
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: Wantlanta and Rapunzel showing up so they'd be there for
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: photo ops.
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: We have the photo booth and this year w went
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: with the.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: Taco bar, so some families can go out to eat
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: before or take pictures or do whatever they like. But
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: they can come there and eat and stay as long
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: as they the kids can dance and have the energy.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: The father sometimes just kind of huddle up and their dance.
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: But it's just like you don't have to they don't
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: have to dance.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: We try best out to let's say it, not allow
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: mothers in the building, so they intimidate the fathers. So
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: the mothers aren't watching. Then the dads and daughters can
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: really cut loose and have a good time.
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: To be goofy.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: And we have plans to out walking around take pictures
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: and videos from their cell phones. As long as we're
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: gonna have two photographers roaming the areas this year taking
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: pictures that we'll share with them.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: You get it, You get it. You can get a
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: glimpse of what.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: Yes, you know, it's the stories that they can tell
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: about it, in the memories that they get to share
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: with the moms, like.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: I know, I mean, I know people who have done
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: it before and there it's an exciting event.
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: It's want something a memory.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: I think that the young ladies especially probably really remember
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: and it's it's a great idea.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: Is a great and you know the dress some people
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: dress very formal and some just dressed, you know, as
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: a night out to enjoy. So it's really open to all.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: When we do offer scholarships, so level for this program
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: as well. And it's kind of a fundraiser for our scholarship.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Okay, And there's a cost to it, Uh what is
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: that for? Different for why members?
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: And yes there's a different price why members or forty
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: dollars non members are fifty.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: But if that's too much, you can we can take
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: for a scholars off.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: I personally review all the financial assistance we provide. So
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: there's a small form fill out, just a document. You know,
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: the government requires all these documentations. Since we're our five
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: oh one C three, we got to keep track of
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: the discounts.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: You remember that meeting, the event you had a couple
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: a couple of years ago now where we were all
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: there learning about everything going on at the y, and
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: it was it made a huge impression on me. And uh,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: you know, I know, Kimberlyeve, my wife's been involved on
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: your board and and it's a just the impact you
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: guys have and the hundreds of people that go through there.
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: You're you're not that's not nothing's expensive.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: There and if you can't afford the programs, you can
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: usually get a scholarship for just about everything. The free
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: swim lessons, they're just a great example where it has
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: gone on for decades around here.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: And yes, we started the second grade free swim lessons
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: I think right at also twelve years ago. And when
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: I moved on and started that, and it was like
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: trying to talk to the school, It's like, Okay, what's the.
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: Catch why you want to lessons?
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Like, well, we have this pool, there's water there and
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: people kind of it's helpful to know how to swim, right,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: It's a great thing. You don't want to end up
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: in a situation around the pool and not know how
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: to swim, or a lake or a river. I mean
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: it's just a it's a life saving.
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: Skill, yes, and a lifelong skill.
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: So you know, you know, had Waste sponsors a lot
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: with that, r VS Bank, Philips six, there's a lot
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: of companies that supports that. And one thing I noted
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: in the pool the other night, we also have adult lessons,
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: so we have older adults that's learning how to swim.
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: Finally we're finding their strokes.
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: So we did you miss it in the second grade,
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: you can catch up.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: Yes, So I'm happy to say that hopefully the majority
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: of the seniors that's graduating have been through our swim program,
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: So that's something good to say.
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: That we provide for them for their next movement of life.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: And you mentioned the basketball, and you guys do other
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: youth sports and have helped when needed throughout the youth
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: sports community in Bartlesville and kind of you know, they've
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: been a real bedrock of that.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: Yes, we still try to be kind of like the
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: central information hub of youth sports. So as that's going on,
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: we can send people in the right direction, you know,
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: with the quarterback club thinking on football, we give them
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: point of contacts there, and then the baseball we give
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: them point of contacts there soccer as well, So we
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: kind of help and we kind of pattern our calendar
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: of sports around other sports. We try not overlap because
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: we don't want kids making a choice first week to
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: go there and miss the last week or vice versa.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: So we try to work with our counters or when
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: they're going to wrap up, so we don't have a
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: lot of overlap to make kids have to choose one more.
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: Or the other. Yeah, that's a great program.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: And giving people access to that and the Great Basketball
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: League you guys have been a part of for a
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: long time is it's a lot of fun and a
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: great way for people to get those skills and actually
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: playing games with it's a it's a.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: Great, great program.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: Yes, in partner with Olkhoma City Thunder with our thunder
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: League is really good. You know, the shirts that they
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: help us provide, and then the opportunities. You know, a
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: couple of years ago they actually came here and did
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: a summer camp here and then our players got discount
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: and then we get opportunities for discounts to go the
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: games for participants in our thunder League.
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: So there's a lot of good partnerships that can reward us.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: It's not as easy as us going down to you know,
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: the community center here to watch Thunder play. It's locom
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: the city, but we do have to provide those opportunities
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: for our players as well and coaches.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: That's exciting. And you mentioned the Father Daughter Dance web
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: date is that again?
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: That is February twenty first, and that's in the evening
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: six thirty till eight thirty, and that's on the Saturday
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: night and the wyesday is closed, so only be open
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: to the full dorg dance and our staff.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: And you've got a mother or son event coming up
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: in March, I think, I think in April April, I'm
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: not sure I've got it.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: And what is the mother son NERF war? Yes, and
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: let me tell you, they get into a lot more. Yeah, April,
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: they get into a lot more than the followers do
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: to go all out. I don't know whose closets they
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: raid through, the camouflage, the face paint, but the NERF
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: guns they bring.
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: We supply the darks.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: Because there's thousands of one thousands of darks everywhere. We
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: set rooms up for competition for target shootings throughout the
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: throughout the wires, culture room set up. Food stations will
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: then take rights. But you know battles, we split them
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: up into teams and they really get into it and
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: have a good time. They hoop and holler and and
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: and the and the boys really enjoy it with their moms.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: So it's a good opportunity. And you know, some bring cousins.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: That doesn't have to be a direct parent. It can
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: be a parent figure in somebody's life as long as
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: you know, along with a father daughter dance and that
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: doesn't necessarily have to be a parent, so just adult
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: figure or a father figure or mother figure to company's events.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: If there's kids out there that don't have that, they
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: can contact with WAM say as well and we connect
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: them with.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: Somebody, help connect them with someone to help. That's outstanding.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: And of course you do uh you know, Parents' Night
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: Out monthly, I think, and other programs I mentioned the daycare,
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: which is one of those things that yeah, I mean again.
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: It's a really cool program. I mean, you have lots
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: of kids, lots of kids.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: You know, with some of the companies starting later in
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: the day. We have a large more school program right
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: it starts at seven and it ends when we can
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: take them a breakfast or take them to the classroom, okay,
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: and then we do it again in the afternoons.
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: It's before and after, before and.
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: After, and it lasts is six o'clock in the evenings.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: And we do it at all the elementary schools except
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: for Jane Phillips right now, and they kind of we
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: don't want to do plicate services. The boys and girls
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: clumb Jason to have a great presence there, so there's
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: just no need to compete for after school separate one
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: of those great things.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: Borziella is so rich and organizations to support whatever need
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: you have. But they it is so neat how they
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: build the lattice work of of of programs so they
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: don't typically overlap, or if they are overlapping, there's a
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: need that expands that exceeds what one organization could do.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: And and I know you know that's uh, you know,
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: the cold weather coming and things like wild be the
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Lights program and the lighthouse and the a Maya are
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: all trying to help people stay warm through these periods
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: and and uh, you know, so if you are in
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: need of a warm place, you know, reach out to.
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: One of those organizations. So hope you get situated.
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: And we refer people to that.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: And we don't necessarily have lodging to stay at the LAMBCA,
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: but we often if people have problems with plumbing issues,
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: then we allow them come to the lampstanine shower or
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: the new other things that they need to you know,
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: non members, so they can come in as a guest,
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: no fees to use the showers if needed to, you know,
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: for the frozen play, cause that does happen.
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: Of course, this weekend.
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so the plumbers get really busy. They just can't
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: keep up.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: In between the time of getting them fixed and the
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: water turn back on, we allow them come to the
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: lamp stany and shower and do that as well.
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: And then of course the traditional everybody.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, if somebody I had a new employee and
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: she asked me, well, what what's a good gym around here?
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: And I said, well, you know, really, the why is
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: they had more programs, uh you know, more.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, great for ability spending glasses, I think still and
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: all kinds of classes probably, so tell us a little
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: bit about that.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: And we offer a lot of group exercise classes pretty
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: much six days a week, and we offer childcare also
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: six things a week. Most of the time the childcare
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: is in the mornings or the evenings when the group
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: classes take part. So if you're a parent have a child,
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: you come and drop them off in that childcare facility
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: for free and while you exercise and I pick them
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: up afterwards. And those classes are very social, so there's
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: a lot going on there.
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: We get free towards, so come by the line say anytime,
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: and weas are run for free, so it doesn't cost
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: it's come to check us out, and it's not the
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: same way say it was fifteen to twenty years ago.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: We've changed a lot from the downstairs weight room with
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: a bay of new equipment, the flooring. We have three
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: group exercise rooms. Our front room used to be office
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: is one time. From my understanding, now there's a lot
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: of cardio room. We have a ski cardio machine work
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: your arms at Jacob's ladder now.
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: So there's a lot of new.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: Equipment we have and people just need to come to
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: check it out because it's not the same same fitness
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: center it was several years ago, let alone twelve to
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: fifteen years ago.
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: It's really changed a lot.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: And of course it requires the membership, and you do
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: fundraising to support the programs and the facility and all that,
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: and there's always needs, I'm sure, And you have an
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: older building and yes, you know, I think that how's
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: that going? And are there I think typically you do
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: an annual campaign and things like that.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: Tell us yes, when I started hopefully in a campaign
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: in February, we always jay funds to help offset the
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: expenses to keep membership process reasonable. We've worked with a
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: lot of communities partners several foundations here in Talent had
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: been very helpful to the YAMCA, the unid way, and
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: we're also working through an air quality grant that came from.
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: COVID that's wrapping up.
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: We're working with the city and the federal gun I
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: guess in a state to get some funds to replace
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: air conditioning units, which is really helpful. We just you
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: I've seen it in December, replaced all the swimming pool
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: windows and I had heard that.
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: Of centage going on. I haven't been down in that time.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: Pantice, So that's going to have our energy calls a
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: lot more efficient and then they're going to open so
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: in the in the summertime, we actually been the better.
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: So we've had no way to open those windows before.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: So those were replaced. We're and those all that funding
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: was provided by the federal government through the state, through
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: the city for us through that at that cost, so
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: it costs to WAM say, no additional funds to do that.
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: So we took advantage of those grants and opportunities, and
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: that's what we try to do is take advantage of
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: alved I want to call it free money. Yeah, so
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: let's say it's our tax money coming back to our
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: community and we get to take advantage of that. So
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: we're reinvesting in the YMCA to be more efficient and
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: and like I said, to keep the prices down. We
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: do a lot of are a few employment group discounts or.
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: Packages.
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: So if you're business interested in joining the WYMSA as
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: a group, we do the business group discounts and set
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: up that way through pay to a duct or automatic payments,
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: anyway we can do that.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: Membership is not expensive, it just basic membership. I think
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: a family is sixty.
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: Dollars sixty dollars and then fifty five you know, goes
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: down from there for an adult. So we do not
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: really and we discount a lot of it if needed,
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: mostly half price on a lot of our scholarship financial assistants.
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: We do offer a single parent family rate with a
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: discount can be on that college rates, student rates.
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: We do a lot of stuff.
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: We have a lot of kids that actually walk down
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: from Central after school and they come and shoot basketball,
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: and they're great, well behaved, very respectful kids that come down.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: You know, when they walk down, they really don't have
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: another place to go after school, so they come there
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: and shoot basketball and they have the little and they're
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: social and it's great for them to have that good,
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: safe environment. And you know, these days are a lot
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: worse places kids can be than the way mc A,
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: so we embraced them coming there and and and and
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: enjoy having them. And Sunday is another big day for
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: our gym with those youth come in and play basketball
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: full full court games, half court games, whatever it takes.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: Can play pickup games. Pick up games, yes, a lot
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: like adult shees do at lunch. They don't do anymore now.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: The kids are doing after school and on weekend. So
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: it's very enjoyable to watch them and they have a
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: good time all right.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: Well as when we started. There's all pick a ball, racquetball, yes,
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: and yeah, I mean just every every kind of thing
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: you can imagine. If you intrigued by this, I just
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: go get it tour. I mean that's really what you
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: need to do to find out more about it. And uh,
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: you know, it's a please something. We've been members since
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: we moved to town pretty much, and I love to
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: go to the wide. I've used it for uh, the
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: basketball programs when our kids are younger, and been to
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: many many different.
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: Programs swim swimming and lap lap pool and it's great
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: and really thank you for what you do for the WHY.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: I know you and a lot of volunteers required and
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: the board, yeah, great support from them and the other
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: the corporate part of our community is also really I
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: mean it's throughout the whole history of the Why has
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: been so critical to maintaining and growing your impact.
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: And I think making it better for artswel.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: Yes, our board director are volunteers. They don't get paid
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: to be on board directors and they really help us
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: with the community needs and assessment of what our mission
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: and plans are and going forward and it's very helpful.
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: One number one I thought really fast is you know,
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: people don't understand that we're a business. And we have
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: right around one hundred employees, only seven full time people
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: and ramp up to around one hundred and sixteen one
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: hundred and seventy employees in the summertime, so we're we're
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: a big business here in the community and people think
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: it's just as a gym or a whole for a
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: lot more than that, and provide a lot of opportunity
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: for people as well well.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: If people need to check it out and support the why,
• 21:17

  Speaker 1: And anyway, thanks again, and we're as everybody is getting
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: ready for this winter weather we have on our doorstep,
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: and then hopefully it won't be quite as as bad.
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: A little snoke sounds pretty actually it does.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: And you know, especially if we get a few inches,
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: that'll be really nice and hopefully it will not last
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: too long.
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: They're supposed to be very cold though.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: I understand this weekend day night especially, and.
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: We're really good for having a two week winner around here.
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: No, that's that's what we get usually and it's got
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: everybody's imagination going here, So get ready. Like I said,
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: if we can help with your vehicle preparation, don't need
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: to do anything a stream, just make sure your battery
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: is good, that your tires have some tread on them,
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: or just stay home. I think that's a good advice
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: too if things get a little tricky there. But anyway,
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: we'll be out there if you are interested in a
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: new vehicle. Like I said, we bet we're off to
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: a tour and pace this January. We've got a great
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: selection of new and used vehicles, our noncommissioned sales team
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: and our simple prices. What we call fast, transparent and
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: fun purchase process really focused on the customer. Great tools
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: on our website. They're the same tools we use in
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: the showroom to help you buy your car. There's a
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: lot of things you can do in there to go
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: and compare your the purchase to the least. To a
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: one pay lease is a cool thing that we're doing
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: more and more of as people are. You know, some
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: people can pay cash for a car, and the truth
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: is that you're kind of taking all your money out
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: of something to put it into a vehicle that's going
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: to depreciate. If you're the one pay lease, you can
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: get half of the car or whatever amount of it
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: you want. Keep that cash, put it in, leave it
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: in your your money market. Saying conservatively it's going to
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: get four or five percent, could get a lot more
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: than that if you're a little more aggressive and you
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: can make you know, you know, anywhere from probably fifteen
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: hundred to four or five six thousand.
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: Dollars on the money you didn't put in your car.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: Also, one pay lease is that you normally have no
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: interest because you're paying for the vehicle up front, so
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: there's really nothing to charge interest on so it's a
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: way to get a zero percent situation on a vehicle.
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: Prepay it, keep half through the money for the vehicle.
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: It's you know, if you're going to keep your car
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: ten or fifteen years, it's probably not the best thing.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: But if it's a three or four year cycle you're on,
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: it's a great way to look at buying a car.
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: Our team can explain that to you.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: Just come on out to Dunge just Toyota, or you
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: can do it on our website. Just there's a way
• 26:25
