“I think one of the problems that I've seen is there's been a lot of general marketing but when you talk about door to door, organization to organization, church to church and communities, I haven't seen it. I talked to too many people who just don't know about the service. So it's not that they wouldn't use it possibly. They just don't know that it exists and what that means to them. And so it doesn't help to just do general marketing. We have to get out there and talk to people, to organizations that are making those connections with people. I mean... So, you know, we just, you know, you…”

To me, it's about not losing a young person, and it's criminal if we don't do what we can do. Right.”

“I think there are more and more areas in our communities that are experiencing loss of somebody taking their own life. We're watching college sports this weekend and they talked about college athletes, men and women who are participating in college athletes. The number of suicides in that group alone has been increasing alarmingly. And so it's not just suicide. one level or another, but I just think the more we get out and we just got to make these person-to-person contacts. So look forward to that.”

Are those mostly just repaving? Are they reconstruction? They're repavings. Yeah, these are all repaving. All repaving. Correct. Okay.
