Captain John Burks with the Salvation Army here in Bullhead City. Uh first of all, I just want to thank everyone who has uh helped the Salvation Army by giving us uh their business card and putting money into their uh uh kettle as well. Uh appreciate that. Um this last week on or this is Saturday. We had uh both um Kawanis Clubs meeting uh at uh the Sam's Club, uh Bullhead City, as well as uh the Walmart and Bullhead City uh raised a really good amount of money. The total for that night was over $2,000 for all the kettles that were out. Um, and it was a big uh thank you to the Kowanis clubs that both uh did a really amazing job. Now, the morning club did win, and there's some you know, you know, a little uh talk about why they won and why they didn't win or why all that. Um so apparently there was one group that went to Walmart where the morning club was that was supposed to go to the Sam's Club. But either way, it was a win uh for this community, it was a win for the Salvation Army. I appreciate both clubs, did amazing job. Uh, thank you so much for that. Uh this uh tomorrow uh is the last Realtors Wednesday, and we have Killer Williams that's gonna be at the Sam's Club. I'm actually leaving as soon as I'm done here to go to Vegas because they just got uh a Sally um mascot, which is the red kettle mascot. They just got it in and they said that we were able to use it, but I had to go pick it up. So tonight I'm gonna go pick that up. So Sally will be at the Sam's Club uh periodically on and off, depending on how hot whoever's in it gets or maybe cold. I don't know, depending on the wind.
