Transcript: Hey everybody, it’s Scott with a theme for life. I want to send out a quick video. Short one. Hopefully you’ll stick with me on this. We just, we want to give you a little update, on the gala. I also want to say that we’ll have 14 love offerings going out, here soon. And, clear, clear. Our wait list. No one will be on that. And, that always feels good to know that we’re helping these folks at the at just the right time. So, thank you again for being a part of this community of support that allows us to do this work. The gala is tomorrow night, one day away. We were out there yesterday. We just want to thank Scott and Angie Laden, the Meadows is such a beautiful venue. And, Chad and Melanie Calvert with SEMO Selfie and Sound. They they thought of this idea and it’s it’s become a reality. We’ve made it through a schedule change with all this crazy weather. We appreciate you guys changing your schedules and getting to make the the new date. We’ve got big plans as we move forward and make this an annual event. The ideas are already coming in, and, and like a lot of our, all of our events, you know, we kind of start out with the idea. We try to pull it off and then we learn and we grow it. And, we feel like this one is going to definitely be something that we want to make, an annual event. So we thank you for that. Tickets are still available. They’re only $50. Karen’s creations going to have a great meal. We’re going to have photographers all over the place with formal pictures and party pictures. We’re going to have a wine and a liquor pool, which will make the evening fun for some. And, we got a live auction that’s already well underway. It’s going really well. If you can’t make it, you can still bid online. You don’t have to be there to win. But hopefully, hopefully, we’ll we’ll, drive those things up and people will walk away some nice stuff at the end of the evening. Or again, we’ll get that to you in the mail or with a delivery. So either way. Last and again off, get off here. Last is, we’ve got some big announcements coming up for June 5th and six. So go ahead and mark your calendars. I feel like once we get a final confirmation, we’ve all but got that. I really feel like we are going to have the as big or I think the biggest name and personality for our keynote speaker that that we’ve had. And that’s saying a lot. I know, we’ve had a lot of great ones, but this one’s going to, this one’s going to be really, really cool, really special. And so go ahead and mark your calendars June 5th and six and plan on being in Dexter to to join us. So again, we thank you for being on this team. We thank you, for joining us tomorrow night.
