          TODAY WE'RE HAVING A 2025 JEFFERSON PARISH, BICENTENNIAL, BEANBAG, BASEBALL BASH. 
          THERE'S NO GRU IN BEANBAG BASEBALL. 
          THAT IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST THING. 
          EVERYBODY'S SO EXCITED TO GET INTO THROWING BEANBAGS AND COMPETE WITH EACH OTHER. 
          SIT AROUND AND TALK. 
          ONE LADY TOLD ME A FEW MINUTES AGO, UH, I'M GETTING UP FROM MY TABLE FROM THE MET GROUP TO GO TO THE WEST BANK GROUP AND TALK TO SOME PEOPLE TO SEE WHO I KNOW. 
          SO JUST THE FELLOWSHIP AND, AND THE COM AND THE COMPETITION, EVERYTHING THEY GET TO DO ON THIS DAY, YOU KNOW, IT'S, IT'S, IT'S SOMETHING THAT THEY LOOK FORWARD TO AND IT'S SOMETHING THEY ENJOY TO THE FULLEST. 
          I THINK THIS IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT BRINGS PEOPLE TOGETHER. 
          IT ALLOWS YOU TO SIT FACE TO FACE WITH SOMEBODY. 
          YOU MIGHT BE RAZZING 'EM ABOUT COMPETING WITH THEIR, THEIR TEAM. 
          YOU MIGHT BE LAUGHING ABOUT AN OLD MEMORY. 
          JUST THE SOCIALIZING THAT HAPPENS HERE IS OUTSTANDING AND IT MAKES US A STRONGER COMMUNITY. 
          WE HAVE A PACKED HOUSE FROM PEOPLE ALL OVER THE PARISH. 
          UH, I WANNA THANK PEOPLE'S HEALTH FOR SPONSORING THIS. 
          WE HAVE SO MANY PEOPLE HERE FROM ALL OVER. 
          IT'S, UH, IT'S REALLY EXCITING TO SEE EVERYBODY. 
          AND, AND I'M PROUD TO BE A PART OF A PARISH THAT, THAT TAKES CARE OF IT'S SENIORS LIKE THIS. 
          WE HAVE A BLAST. 
          IT'S FUN. 
          SUPER FUN. 
          OH, YES, YES, WE HAVE FUN. 
          WE HAVE A GOOD TIME. 
          A REAL GOOD TIME. 
          IT'S A SKILLFUL GAME. 
          I LIKE IT BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE TO ZERO IN ON SOMETHING AND HALF THE TIME YOU DON'T EVEN GET THERE, YOU KNOW? UM, SOME PEOPLE DON'T EVEN HIT THE BOARD. 
          . 
          WE'RE TOO OLD TO PLAY BASEBALL, BUT WE STILL WANNA BE ACTIVE. 
          AND IT JUST GIVES YOU SOMETHING TO DO AND IT'S AN ACTIVITY THAT KEEPS YOU MOVING. 
          WHETHER WE GOT A MEDAL OR NOT, IT'S JUST OUT THERE FOR THE FUN. 
          YOU GET TO MEET EVERYBODY, MEET DIFFERENT PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, TALK TO, UH, TALK TO DIFFERENT PEOPLE. 
          SPEND A LITTLE BIT TIME WITH PEOPLE YOU, YOU PROBABLY HADN'T SEEN IN 10 YEARS. 
          YOU MEET A LOT OF NEW PEOPLE AND THE OLD PEOPLE GET OUT THE HOUSE. 
          , IT'S GREAT TO GET TOGETHER AND HAVE A LOT OF FUN WITH PEOPLE YOU DON'T SEE, BUT ONCE A YEAR. 
          BUT YOU KNOW 'EM BECAUSE YOU SEE 'EM HERE AND YOU JUST A GATHERING OF FRIENDS. 
          STRANGERS BECOME FRIENDS REAL QUICK. 
          ALL MY SENIORS OUT THERE, GET UP, GET MOVING AND STAY HEALTHY.
