6:02
SPEAKER_04: That's not, I mean, we didn't even say wear your costume.
6:05
SPEAKER_04: People are probably making the assumption because it's boobash, but this is a costume, and it's a must.
6:10
SPEAKER_04: You have to wear a costume.
6:11
SPEAKER_00: People are very serious.
6:12
SPEAKER_00: You don't have to wear a costume, but a majority of people.
6:14
SPEAKER_00: Who goes to a costume party and doesn't wear a costume?
6:16
SPEAKER_00: I mean, yeah, but I mean a majority of people will be there in costume, and it's a lot of fun.
6:20
SPEAKER_00: And it's great seeing everybody's costumes every year.
6:22
SPEAKER_00: I know that there are people who put a lot of thought into what their uh boobash costume is gonna be.
6:27
SPEAKER_04: And then there's people like us that are gonna wing it.
6:30
SPEAKER_00: No, I uh I have mine figured out.
6:32
SPEAKER_04: So yeah.
6:33
SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
6:33
SPEAKER_04: Excellent.
6:34
SPEAKER_01: I think it's so cool how now, you know, in the past it wasn't everybody was wasn't getting into Halloween so much, but now it's kind of like exploded.
6:42
SPEAKER_01: So I think people really have a good time.
6:44
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and it's uh it's a great night for um just like there's gonna be prime rib uh dinner.
6:51
SPEAKER_00: And it's uh it's just a great night of uh celebrating our community, having fun with uh with people and just kind of celebrating Halloween.
7:00
SPEAKER_04: Very cool.
7:00
SPEAKER_04: So if you go to rotaryclub of Clinton.com and you click on boobash, or if you're watching this and you're uh soaking in the video and all of our amazing decor that we have here on the table, including that beautiful little ghost you just lit up, you can scan the QR code in the top left corner of the screen, it'll take you right there.
7:18
SPEAKER_04: But again, rotaryclub of Clinton.com, click on boobash, and that's where you register.
7:23
SPEAKER_04: How much are tickets?
7:24
SPEAKER_02: They are sixty dollars a person.
7:26

7:32
SPEAKER_02: So if you are a sponsor out there, please register your tickets as soon as you can.
7:37
SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
7:38
SPEAKER_04: So if you by chance own a company called Air Control Inc.

SPEAKER_04: in Clinton and you sponsored and you have two tables, please register so that those that are sitting at your table, like me, uh, have a place to go.
7:51
SPEAKER_02: Yes, it just helps streamline the process uh for check-in.
7:55
SPEAKER_02: And then also you can start, once you register your tickets, you can start bidding on the silent auction items.
8:00
SPEAKER_04: Man, I gotta get in there quick.
8:01
SPEAKER_04: I'll tell you what.
8:02
SPEAKER_04: So this money raises, excuse me, this is a fundraiser, is your largest of the year.
8:07
SPEAKER_04: Uh, majority of the funding that comes into Rotary comes from the boobash.
8:11
SPEAKER_04: Where do the funds go?
8:12
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, we have uh three major projects that we uh operate throughout the year.
8:17
SPEAKER_00: One of them, and we're just about to kick off, where we give every uh third grader in the area a dictionary, uh, which uh every year we say is giving someone a physical dictionary still worth it.
8:28
SPEAKER_00: And the kids absolutely love it.
8:30
SPEAKER_00: They uh they definitely like it in that physical dictionary every year.
8:34
SPEAKER_00: Um, and then uh we have uh boots for uh kids that uh need them.
8:39
SPEAKER_00: Uh so we get a list of uh kids.
8:42
SPEAKER_00: We we get a list of how many boots are needed at each school.
8:45
SPEAKER_00: We don't know the names of the kids, and uh, you know, it's uh kind of a secret thing.
8:48
SPEAKER_04: These are like winter boots.
8:49
SPEAKER_00: Winter boots, yep.
8:50
SPEAKER_00: And so we'll uh start delivering those to schools before uh really before Thanksgiving.
8:55
SPEAKER_00: And then uh in the springtime, we have a program called uh Josh the Otter, where it's uh a book program for kindergartners that teaches uh water safety.
9:05
SPEAKER_00: And it's not necessarily about how to swim and that kind of stuff, it's more about how to be safe when you're in and around uh water and it uses this Josh the Otter character.
9:14
SPEAKER_00: So we also have like uh right now we're working on a uh we're working with uh the parks department on putting a uh pavilion in at Jergenson uh sports complex.
9:23
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, the soccer complex there.
9:25
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and so uh they recently put up a uh a uh like a playground that is uh relatively uh accessible.
9:36
SPEAKER_00: It's a handicap accessible playground.
9:39
SPEAKER_00: So um we'll have a uh a pavilion uh out there next to that, and they'll help make that Jergensen park more of a year-round park than just being used for uh sports days.
9:48
SPEAKER_00: Plus, there's no place currently to hide from the sun or there.
9:51
SPEAKER_00: So run from the sun, yeah.
9:53
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and we you know, Jurgensen, they'll do a lot of like movie events out there where people can come out and like kind of watch movies in their car or in the field, and uh now we'll have a place that like people like the library can go and put up their table, and so they don't have to bake out there and uh and uh they can hand out uh uh information and that kind of stuff.
10:11
SPEAKER_00: Very cool.
10:12
SPEAKER_04: So the Rotary Club of Clinton meets on Mondays over at the Tuscany Event Center at Rosrelli's here in Clinton at noon.
10:22
SPEAKER_04: Now, what if I want to come to the boobash, but I'm not a Rotarian?
10:27
SPEAKER_04: Is it open to anybody?
10:28
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, like we want you to come to the boobash.
10:31
SPEAKER_00: Uh and and you to join Rotary, too.
10:33
SPEAKER_00: Yes.
10:34
SPEAKER_00: I mean, but even if you're like, I'm never gonna join Rotary, but I want to come have a fun time at a fun costume party, we want you to come out to Boobash.
10:41
SPEAKER_00: And if you want to learn more about Rotary while you're there, we can definitely make that happen, but we're not gonna push it into you.
10:46
SPEAKER_04: Now, what what can somebody expect at the boobash?
10:48
SPEAKER_04: We talked about there'll be a bar, there'll be some drinks, there'll be a prime rib at dinner.
10:54
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, there's gonna be some appetizers.
10:57
SPEAKER_04: What are we out?
10:57
SPEAKER_04: What else do we have for entertainment?
10:59
SPEAKER_00: Oh, so we'll uh we'll have different uh music and stuff playing.
11:02
SPEAKER_00: DJ.
11:03
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
11:03
SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
11:04
SPEAKER_00: I well we'll we'll have music and stuff playing.
11:06
SPEAKER_00: I think we'll have a DJ.
11:06
SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
11:07
SPEAKER_00: Anybody that plays music can just call themselves and say, I've been doing it for years.
11:12
SPEAKER_00: So then uh there is gonna, as the the night dwindles down, we're gonna enter silent disco.
11:17
SPEAKER_00: Oh uh so we'll have silent disco going on after the auction and everything kind of uh wraps up.
11:23
SPEAKER_01: So explain that though.
11:24
SPEAKER_01: A lot of people don't know what silent disco.
11:25
SPEAKER_00: So silent disco is uh you wear headphones, kind of like what we're wearing right now, and uh it plays that there's three different channels of music that play into the headphone, and it lights up based on whatever uh music you're listening to.
11:40
SPEAKER_00: So if you're listening to red and then you look over and somebody has blue and they're just jamming away and you're like, I want to listen to what he's listening to, you can switch yours over to blue and then dance away to what he's uh listening to.
11:53
SPEAKER_00: It's over at the copper mill.
11:54
SPEAKER_04: No, it's not just this, it's called silent disco, but it's not just not disco.
11:58
SPEAKER_04: So the folks over there at the copper mill really love the silent disco.
12:00
SPEAKER_04: Uh, I think they have 30 different headsets, so 30 different people can be out on the dance floor at the same time.
12:05
SPEAKER_04: They do play some music in the background.
12:06
SPEAKER_04: So if you're not wearing a headset, you're not sitting there and just you know, deafening silence.
12:12
SPEAKER_04: But different genres of music on all three channels, it is cool.
12:15
SPEAKER_04: It's what I love about silent disco, uh, because I often help out with it, is to be able to sit there and watch people.
12:21
SPEAKER_04: Oh, yeah.
12:22
SPEAKER_04: Because you can always tell by the way they're moving, like what because I can hear in my in my headphones what station they're listening to.
12:28
SPEAKER_04: So it's always cool to see who's moving to what music.
12:30
SPEAKER_00: So it's a very interesting thing.
12:33
SPEAKER_01: That's the best idea.
12:34
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but if you're not, if you're at the silent disco and you know how like when you're at a wedding and like if there's music playing, that's just all encompassing, and you have to hear the music, yes, and you have to talk over the music to the person next to you.
12:44
SPEAKER_00: If you're at the silent disco and you don't want to be listening to music, you don't have to, you know.
12:49
SPEAKER_00: I mean, you can t take off your headphones and talk to people next to you, right?
12:52
SPEAKER_00: And you don't have all the music going on.
12:54
SPEAKER_00: Is there a costume contest?
12:56
SPEAKER_00: Uh, I don't know if there's an actual uh uh contest, but uh we'll definitely admire everybody's costumes.
13:03
SPEAKER_02: Everybody's a winner.
13:04
SPEAKER_02: Lots of photo photo opportunity for I mean, usually if you look on our our our Facebook or our website page, you could see all the previous years and all the costumes.
13:14
SPEAKER_02: So it's pretty cool.
13:16
SPEAKER_02: So you'll get you'll definitely get a picture and we'll be sharing that with well this is a community event a lot of people really look forward to.
13:23
SPEAKER_04: Oh, yeah.
13:24
SPEAKER_04: And how many years have we been doing this?
13:25
SPEAKER_04: Eight.
13:26
SPEAKER_02: This is the eighth year.
13:27
SPEAKER_04: I say we, but uh as a You are a Rotarian.
13:30
SPEAKER_04: As a Rotarian, I can claim all-encompassing we.
13:32
SPEAKER_02: You are a Rotarian, and I wanted to mention some of the money that we raise.
13:37
SPEAKER_02: Uh, we always do a book donated to the Clinton Public Library in honor of a speaker, and you didn't get to see your book, but this is your book called Ah.
13:47
SPEAKER_02: Look at the front.
13:47
SPEAKER_02: Um and it's got like different uh cityscapes and and stuff like that.
13:53
SPEAKER_02: So Ah is everywhere.
13:55
SPEAKER_02: So that was your book.
13:57
SPEAKER_02: You didn't get to sign it, but um before you I wanted to show it.
14:00
SPEAKER_02: Well, I did put your name in on it.
14:03
SPEAKER_02: Um but I wanted to share that this is something we do for every speaker that comes to Rotary.
14:10
SPEAKER_02: And they've been doing this for I want to say over 50 years, where um every time we get a speaker, the library gets the list and we um select the books and try to match it with the speaker some somewhat.
14:24
SPEAKER_02: Um so we just uh again, you know, if you want to be a speaker, you don't have to be a Rotarian, and we'll get a book in your honor and donate it to the Clinton Public Library.
14:33
SPEAKER_04: And the Rotary Club also has a foundation.
14:36
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
14:37
SPEAKER_04: Um, that's we're working on right now, what those rant applications look for and how that foundation is going to be kind of structured.
14:43
SPEAKER_04: Um, but there's a lot of philanthropic giving by Rotarians from their own, you know, personal accounts to nonprofits all over the community, but also Rotary as a club uh does budget through the foundation to support a lot of nonprofits and cool things throughout the community.
14:59
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, and I think November is uh Rotary Foundation month.
15:04
SPEAKER_02: Um, so we're kicking into that.
15:06
SPEAKER_02: And then I just also want to mention the boobash, it's all the proceeds are local, so all of it's gonna go to Clinton area.
15:13
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, yeah, it's not like one of these places where you go, you invest the money, they collect the funds, and it goes off to a mothership somewhere uh outside of the community.
15:21
SPEAKER_04: This all stays local.
15:22
SPEAKER_04: Very cool.
15:23
SPEAKER_04: I'm excited.
15:24
SPEAKER_04: I always just like about the boobash scene, people dressed up, and it's the type of people that you would bump into town that's usually rocking a suit.
15:32
SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
15:32
SPEAKER_04: Or, you know, a dress shirt and some slacks, some khakis.
15:35
SPEAKER_04: And next thing you know, you see them and they're all dolled up in all sorts of Halloween attire and covering and makeup.
15:41
SPEAKER_02: Like sometimes I don't recognize the people.
15:43
SPEAKER_02: I'm like, who are you?
15:45
SPEAKER_02: And then they're like, it's me.
15:46
SPEAKER_02: And I'm like, huh?
15:48
SPEAKER_02: So they do a really good job with the makeup and everything.
15:51
SPEAKER_01: So if you're not familiar with Rotary Club, can you give us a little bit of a background about the club itself?
15:57
SPEAKER_00: About the Clint Club or Rotary in general?
15:59
SPEAKER_00: In general, all of it.
16:00
SPEAKER_00: Rotary is a is a service organization that of uh, you know, local uh business people, like it started as different uh business people come in together to uh figure out how they can help their communities and also uh continue to learn about the community.
16:15
SPEAKER_00: So on uh Mondays when we have our meetings, we have guest speakers come in and we always are learning about new things that happen out in our uh out in our community and look at ways that we can support our community.
16:26
SPEAKER_00: But Rotary International, which covers uh the entire world, um, one of the things that they've really taken on as a project uh is uh the eradication of polio.
16:36
SPEAKER_00: And since the 1970s, the thanks to the help of Rotary International, uh polio has gotten down to only two countries with wild uh polio.
16:45
SPEAKER_00: And we think now you you know we would not think oh polio is still a worry, you know.
16:50
SPEAKER_00: But if you live in Pakistan right now, wild polio 100% is but uh you know, in 19 in the 1960s, we would have all been here probably having had polio, right?
17:00
SPEAKER_00: Right.
17:01
SPEAKER_00: So it's uh definitely uh the work that uh Rotary has done throughout the world has just been phenomenal.
17:08
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, it's a great organization, something people should be a part of, especially again if you're a business owner, you're an aspiring entrepreneur, or you work for a local company.
17:17
SPEAKER_04: Um, make sure that company, that business is represented at the table there at Rotary.
17:21
SPEAKER_04: Again, they meet Mondays at noon over at Rashrelli's.
17:24
SPEAKER_04: It is not a stressful environment.
17:26
SPEAKER_04: You don't have to come dressed to the nines, it's just breaking bread with your fellow Rotarians, learning something new.
17:32
SPEAKER_04: Uh, there is no hazing, there's no sacrificing of a goat or anything like that.
17:38
SPEAKER_04: Or though the boobash, maybe we'll do that.
