Anyway, that’s that’s with a New Orleans accent. It’s not it’s not Parisian. I’ll say that. Okay. (00:24) So, this is Diana Randle Bro coming to you from the lovely mountain town of Prescat, Arizona. I’m Rand. She’s the presc. I am. Yeah. And uh anyway, welcome to this show. Our show. Our little baby show. Our little baby show. Our little baby show. We’re here today to talk to you about your Prescuit Tribe. Your Prescuit Tribe. (00:44) So Prescuit Tribe. Prescuit Tribe. So a lot of people we talked to one of the big reasons why they are hesitant about leaving where they are now. No matter how bad it is, no matter how bad the traffic is, how high the taxes are, how bad the crime is. Yep. You know, but my friends are the fires. Yeah. I’m catching on fire. Yeah. (01:07) I’m about to lose my home. But about to lose my home, but I don’t want to leave because my my friends live right next door and their house is also burning. Um here’s the thing. We are starting to hear more and more of people doing tribes, doing enclaves. They they come as a group. So it’s like, well, look, if you’re going to leave and you’re going to go someplace else, we should all go together because we’re all friends. (01:30) We would obviously we would encourage that kind of thing. We do see that kind of thing happening more and more. So we would encourage you if you are thinking, well, I probably need to move on. This isn’t the place for my retirement. Chances are you have lots of friends that feel the same way. Get them to be part of the conversation. (01:51) You know, have to come with you. Or better yet, I will tell you, uh, we came here cold. Did not know was sold. No family, no friends. Uh, we have another good friend, Bob, who also came here cold. Um, join join a country club. Yeah. Join golf. Yeah. Um, we have met probably some of the closest, dearest friends that we’ve ever had. Yes. In 40 years of marriage. (02:16) I mean, we are taking it day by day now. Marriage, not the friendships. Not the friendships, but we we aren’t almost 40. Well, almost 39. So, we take it day by day, but the friends are here forever. I will say that. I think I think most of them might come with me, but I don’t know. (02:37) But anyway, if we But the the point is is that don’t be afraid of leaving family and friends. There’s a whole big world out there. And honestly, if you open yourself up and you attend, you know, you join a club, you join uh golf, you join this, you join that, you would be amazed how friendly and welcoming people here are at. That’s right. (02:59) And you know, I I really didn’t understand what good friends were until I came here. And he got lost in the fields. Yeah, that’s right. I we did we did a we did a wind wind down on that where they they came and quote rescued me though I still say I was not lost but you know we were living in Baton Rouge uh we were a young couple with young kids and I was traveling a lot and our so-called friends so so Diane uh had a snake there was a snake in the house and the guy no no no no some there was a loud crash in the middle of the night he traveled all the the time. Yeah. So, I (03:37) had babies, uh, young children, I mean, babies, and we were all sleeping in the middle of the night. Glass crash and break and broke. And I was like, “Somebody’s breaking in my house.” So, I called my neighbor across the street. Said, “Oh my gosh, can you look out the window? Tell me what’s going on. I had this tremendous crash. (03:54) I’m here with the babies. Randall’s not here.” And he said, “I would recommend that you call 911.” Yeah. And I said, “You are now dead to me from here on out.” Yeah, but here in Prescuit that would never happen. That would never happen. Never. People would fly over. I mean, I’d have 15 people here saying, “We’re on our way. Don’t worry. Don’t open the door. (04:15) We’re here. Don’t worry. Call the police. We’re coming. We’re going to,” you know. And so, that is what life in Prescat is. Yeah. Yeah. It really is. 100%. So, we call it your Prescat tribe. These are people who are true blue. Uh, they even give you bone marrow. Oh, yeah. They give you blood. They give you whatever you need. (04:34) These people, nobody’s going to match me. I’m caging this. It’s going to match me and I’m not going to match anyone else. You’re screwed. But anyway, the rest of us are doing okay. We’ll Yeah, they’re going to do kidneys and all that. Not Somebody will save the rest of us. You’re on your own. But uh but no, it is true. (04:49) It is some of the the best people we’ve ever met. Um I’ve never traveled with folks. Um these these are people we travel with. We have a great time. They accept us for who we are in all of our crazy which is saying a lot which is saying a lot because we are crazy. Um and you know they just have your back. Yeah. (05:08) And it’s just not something we’ve experienced living elsewhere. But you know if you if you got a good group of friends and you don’t want to leave them behind, bring them with you. Bring them with you or at least begin to explore the possibility with them. Yeah. Uh, as we mentioned in an earlier windown that Diane and I are going to be doing some online things.

hello hello hello fellow pickle peeps this is Dian Bro but today I don’t have the better half i have an even better half Bob Swelgen cheers to you Bob well thanks Diane thank you for joining us he is uh one of our oldest and dearest friends when we moved to Prescuit uh we’ve been friends a long time we travel together and we’re still friends that’s amazing huh it is amazing so we are very very excited because uh Bob is on the board of uh directors he is the treasurer of a very very special organization here in Prescuit called (00:40) People Who Care and so Bob has been asking us hey can I come on and talk about it and we’re like of course because it’s a very valuable um community office uh service that uh his this nonprofit it’s a it’s a nonprofit organization that uh we well was put together about 35 years ago so it’s been around quite a long time we have a good number of people who provide the service of for those people who can’t uh maybe they’re not able to see so well or not ambulatory or or they just don’t like to drive or do things right we provide a (01:16) free of charge service that will take people to non-medical doctors or hospital non-medical things so just for for the for the visit not major surgery or something like that we’re not going to carry you in and out of in and out of the doctor’s office we’re not gonna sling you over and carry you and we take we’ll take pets to vets cool which is kind of cool we have some people who uh they can’t see very well and we’ll actually have volunteers who will uh go to their home and help them read their mail uh we’ll have one or two people who (01:48) actually go and help people with the personal finances and things like that and as you know this town has a very you know a large uh demographic of 65 and older so there are a lot of folks here who maybe are by themselves maybe family isn’t nearby and so they really rely on people who care to come in and help them with some of these day-to-day things that maybe become a little challenging as you get older maybe you don’t drive anymore so people who care can come over take you to the bank like he said take you to your appointments take you to the (02:20) vet but also like he was saying too if you have a new computer right exactly right if you have a have a new computer and you want to transition from one to the other we have people who will come over and help you with that if you got a new telephone you kind of figure out how to use it um would that work for me i think I’ll just say I think we’ll send we’ll send somebody over by you soon too and and get this again free service to come over so it’s uh it’s just a group of volunteers of which I think now we have (02:48) 267 active volunteers today really uh which is pretty good and we can go over budget you got a pretty good budget well we do about a $750,000 budget so we are always looking for two things one is for volunteers and also donations so it’s kind of like you know paying forward a couple ways you know we look at people who move here maybe they’re in their 60s or very active 70 or even the 50s and they want to keep busy want to do stuff so and they want to do something worthy that makes you feel good that you’re giving (03:21) to the community exactly right you want you want to contribute to people who who have a need because at some point in time as I’m I’m here nine years um yeah I look at this and say well you some point in time that may be me who has who has a need so uh I pay forward as do a lot of other people thinking that well at some point in time the community will return the favor absolutely and uh and we try to do that we have fact we have a a couple who made money for years going around the world on providing services (03:51) to do macular degeneration which is a very big problem it’s like seven to 10 7 to 10% of people over 65 have that issue absolutely unfortunately with a with an arrangement we have with the VA a VA hospital they provide some uh equipment that we utilize in our services and if people need some equipment we can actually get it to them whether it be free or if people can afford to pay we actually would like a little bit of that but if not that’s okay mhm um and we provide that services to a good number of people every year but it’s a it’s a (04:26) worthwhile organization we take care of people in a community um again it’s all free of charge now it’s unbelievable and it’s not based on financial need okay so it’s not like um you have to be a certain you know have a certain level of income or little you know no it’s open to anybody who needs help and these uh volunteers are vetted these are not people I just pull off the street hey you want to do something for us no they have a a criminal check we we do have to do a a fingerprinting and it gets cleared through the Yavapai Sheriff’s (05:00) Office uh we do personal vetting meaning if you want to come and volunteer we require a number of references that we have people who call and actually validate the fact that yeah you are a real person you are you you are what you say you are right and we do an online review as well mhm so we really make sure that we have quality people who are really here for the right reasons um and and we’ve had zero instances by the way zero instances of of any issues um in my tenure as well as all the past that I could find 35 years wow so it’s good (05:34) folks who are volunteering a good time so what is the time requirement if you are a volunteer do you have to do a certain amount of hours a week or No as a matter of fact there is no time requirement okay uh you volunteer to become available when you are available meaning uh we have a database that people who have a need can log in and say I have a need to go to the doctor’s office next Thursday or something or even this afternoon and we do have a group of people who actually assign themselves to certain volunt to certain (06:04) we call them neighbors not people in need we call neighbors right so so certain neighbors would input a need and certain volunteers would go back and fulfill that need i like that which is kind of cool if they if they can’t do it then your your response just has to be no today i can’t make it and that’s a complete sentence is just can you do it no right fine okay we’ll send it to you next time so nobody’s putting a gun to your head or nobody’s making you sign anything that says I got to do it it’s free freewheing if you would to the (06:33) point of if I can make the time to support it I’m going to go do that and if you can’t you can’t and nobody’s ever going to call you know that about the time requirement that’s great because a lot of folks are volunteering they’re they’re retired and they’re going to see grandchildren and so it’s kind of nice you have the freedom to offer when you’re here in town and if not that’s okay they’ll pass it on to someone else to come help their neighbor and we know it’s you know the times aren’t great economically so it’s you know you got (06:59) gas fee gas prices and everything else going up we do compensate the um uh the volunteers with the 67 and a half cents per mile that the government has um as their limit you can pay somebody allotted for um for this type of question but the volunteers do not get paid but they can get compensated for mileage correct correct yeah there’s Yeah volunteers are volunteers right and so they donate their time but we do compensate them for mileage because that’s more than their time right sure so it’s um I think that’s fair yeah yeah (07:33) we get Yeah we get a lot of people who um they some of them take the check some of them just sign the check back over and make a donation which we like i love that so it’s u so again it’s just a lot of good people who um make a lot of u space in their day to help others um and again it’s kind of a you know pay it forward it’ll come back in spades later I think so what so we have not only is Bob on the board but we also have a lot of friends who are not on the board but they just simply volunteer their time so (08:01) they have a set group of people that they love and they’re like you know what I would like to work with whatever Bill and I’d like to work with Shirley so put me on with but uh Bill and Shirley and they will take them out every week you know one gentleman is is uh blind so he goes to help him get his cash so he knows you know that he can be safe and protected and Yeah that’s right we have that the one gentleman you’re talking about buddy of our named Chuck know he knows which um which bank to go to which teller at the bank to go to (08:35) when this guy goes for some reason still gets checks that help Chuck helps him get out of his mail they go to this teller and she knows what to give him as far as the the currency issues and you know the $20 bills $10 bills and he makes payments but he has a jacket he always wears and he puts so much money in each pocket to know what it’s all for and then Chuck takes them home and make sure he puts those dollars in the allowed spot so his bills get paid so it’s it’s it’s kind of cool because people have a relationship together and (09:04) so they they know exactly where to go and who to go see which teller to go to it’s like friendships that people form and also you know they just become close and they help each other out which is what community should be about right so you were saying here your 2024 stats you have 267 volunteers and they work 22,000 hours you said that’s right so in um I’ll give you I’ll give you the 10ear stats because we only we go back 10 years because the data before 10 years is 10 years okay we’ve been around 35 but prior to 10 you know (09:40) we didn’t have computers and all that kind of stuff to keep track so I just look at 10 so last 10 okay the average tenure by the way of every volunteer is over five years oh wow so once they get involved with it they stay with it and so good retention good retention so they feel good about it and they’re happy with what they’re seeing volunteering they feel they’re performing a worthwhile service so we have 550 volunteers over 10 years uh 168,000 hours neighbor served again we call the person who needs our services a (10:10) neighbor right um 2240 wow we’ve driven over 1.4 million miles in that process wow and provided uh services 72,000 times um that’s a lot and if you take it $25 an hour being an hour per service that’s about 44 and a4 million worth of um services provided free of charge wow uh now right now we have like 267 um in in 2024 we’ve driven 22,000 miles uh 321 personal paperwork helps i need that and um and 330 just wellness calls oh wow so if people just would like to get a call to make sure they’re okay sure we do that oh I love that i know (10:57) that that’s nice and you did 204 help with tech devices so I would like someone to come help me with my personal paperwork and tech devices how about taxes yeah we’ll help you with taxes soon as I get somebody to help me with my Exactly you don’t do everything in other words you do a lot you do a lot we do a lot it makes you feel good when you do it and you see people who are very very happy to receive it and like I said I think it’s great as you look at people who may move to Prescuit this is something that they they may look at and (11:28) say you know what maybe I I want to keep busy here’s something I can keep busy with um you know when when they decide it’s time to make a donation at the end of the year maybe they’ll think of us also and I think it’s great too i mean it’s just you really do form close personal relationships with these folks and you can do as much or as little as you want um but you do get close and they’re very appreciative you you get something out of it you feel great and you you feel worthy i mean a lot of folks who you know retire are like “What (11:58) am I going to do with myself?” This is something that makes you feel good exactly right we’ll have people who just come by the office we have a very nice office um in in office it’s off of Gurley okay you get past the bowling alley and go almost to the woods yeah yeah a very nice office complex uh off to the side we had uh someone donate a good Well fact it was a legacy donation we didn’t even know what was going to happen till this woman passed and it wind up we had a large amount of money wow and we also had a person who uh was (12:32) in owned the building that we are now in who decided that you know he really likes people who care and his son was utilizing people who care as he was challenged and needed some help a so we got one heck of a deal on the office we got one heck of a deal on somebody helping us with the financing and now we have offices we rent out to other people as well because it’s a pretty pretty goodized place so you’d be impressed if you came by to see the office i would like to so the other the other good thing is is that um with people who care anyway the other good thing is it’s not just locals who are uh donating you know money towards this worthy cause but there’s al that the hospital is donating a ton of money to people who care we get (13:43) a lot of um donations through grants the hospital will give us a grant u some wealthy people in the area make a point of giving us a grant every year we do other things to raise money we have a golf tournament every year out at the club of Prescott Lakes yay which is a great a great fun event cheers to that absolutely and uh we’re going to have a gayla or had have had gaylas to support the organization um auctions and things like that that’s coming up so we try to keep ourselves um active as we can we

Video Transcript

hello hello hello and good afternoon afternoon this is Diane and Randall bro here coming to you live from Prescot Arizona talk about the Jim and Linda Lee planetarian planetarium at Embry Riddle yeah if you ever um look at the city with any kind of elevation and you look over in the right direction you’ll see what looks like a giant golf bomb yeah that is the planetarian that’s it and uh the Lees were very gracious to make this happen for our beautiful town so we recently went and saw a whole show about the stars of Prescot the stars of presc which I guess they do every month they update pry cool for what’s happening they they uh tipped us off to a meteor shower yes that was coming in December so we were on the lookout for that yep and they go over you know different times of the year where the stars are and where they move and and it was just it’s first class it is first class such a cool such a cool cool place we wanted to go um it opened shortly before covid I guess and uh we had wanted to go and wanted to go and then it was shut down for covid so we couldn’t go and then we were waiting for it to come back and it wasn’t back and I just kind of fell off the map for a little while and then I I don’t know what happened it was like let’s go and we went with some good friends Y and uh we had a great time yeah uh if you’ve ever been to a planetarium before this is not the planetarium that you knew as a in the 60s or 70s where it’s essentially you know like a ball with a light bulb in the middle and has holes in it and it’s nothing like that okay it it’s they will they will show you uh a constellation and they’ll focus in on one star and they focus in they actually went through a constellation and showed the spatial relationship you know sort of like it’s up down where they went like yeah the Seven Sisters they look like they’re very close together but in point of fact some are much closer to the Earth than others so they flying through the air to show you what it looks like from a different perspective amazing and they have different shows they have different shows that go over different things it’s a very reasonable price to get in there so it was just a lovely uh event to go to we saw learned all kinds of stars like 30 minutes something like that yeah and it’s really good because we are a dark town because we used to have observatories so you see tons of stars here so you sit on your deck or you sit on your patio it’s dark we don’t have a lot of street lights so you see all these Stars well you go to the Planetarium you learn all about them yeah yeah and what it means and and some of the mythology behind it and I I must confess some of the creatures I’m like I don’t quite see that but hey yeah that’s cool yeah whatever ever um people had a lot of imagination they had a lot of imagination and not a lot of TV yeah but it’s uh it’s fascinating and you really learn a lot and then when you’re outside now you’ve learned it so you can see for yourself oh I know what that is I just saw that at the planetarium and you might even go get your own telescope a lot of our friends have done that and they star watch and Planet watch yeah if you have any interest in astronomy or even astrology I guess for that matter uh Prescot is a great place to do that with our Dark Skies I have I’ve never really lived anywhere else where the skies were this dark right I have learned more about the sky in the past seven years that I’ve been here than I learned in the previous however many I don’t want to mention the number uh that I was around because uh just the darkness of the Skies so if you have any interest in the skies at all and you’re coming here this is great you’re in the right town and check out the planetarium is a great place to kick off your exploration it’s awesome okay so thank you to Jim and Linda Lee for making that happen absolutely and adding yet another dimension to our really cool Tawn yeah all right my friends that’s our tip of the day look up in the Stars give us a call see you soon bye bye

Parties on the Terrace

Some of the most happening social events around Prescott are the parties held on the terrace at the clubhouse in Prescott Lakes.  Even if you don't live in this subdivision, you can still join in.  In this episode, we explain how that works and why you don't want to miss out.

Video Transcript

good afternoon my fellow pickle peeps hello hello hello Diana Randall bro here coming at you from Prescott Arizona happy to be here yeah we’re starting off our new year yeah we’re getting the gears going uh we’re excited to be back in the action started some action and we had a lot of fun uh New Year’s Eve New Year’s Eve great time and so we wanted to talk about we actually live in Prescott Lakes we wanted to talk about the amazing social amenities that Prescott Lakes has to offer all right so if you don’t know Prescott Lakes Prescott Lakes is the largest subdivision in city of Prescott and I believe it is the second largest in the Prescott area there’s one subdivision on PV it’s a bit bigger yes it’s a big place they have about 1500 Lots probably about and now I’m saying maybe 1300 1350 have been developed totally yeah just some idea how big that is so Under the Umbrella as I call it of Prescott Lakes are about 13 different neighborhoods yeah we all go to the one center of the of the whole development which is the club and uh so there they have a private restaurant it’s amazing they always have something fun going on always always always and now that covet is lifted we’re back back in action so we wanted to talk about this New Year’s Eve we actually went to the club it was open for New Year’s Eve they had a live band they had an amazing Buffet um and we had a good time The Time Of Our Lives it was a good time yeah just to be clear so if you live in Prescott Lakes you will belong to the club that those two go together it is uh it’s not optional you you pay monthly dues you belong to the club you belong to the athletic center uh and if you’re interested that we can give you more information so here’s a great idea if you’re looking here in Prescott you find a house that you absolutely adore and but you want the social amenities that Prescott Lakes has to offer but your home Falls outside of that jurisdiction so to speak you can get a social membership I think it’s 60 or 65 dollars a month and that enables you to come to the restaurant and enjoy all the social events that they have one being uh New Year’s Eve we were there you could get tickets to that and you could go the other being um party on the Terrace which is always fun right yeah so the party and the Terrace they do that two three times a month oh I don’t know that much but yeah well it depends on the month this month they’re doing I think they have three of them but uh it depends on the month but uh yeah they’ll have live bands uh there’s a nice Terrace outside the club and has a beautiful view uh the weather’s good they’ll do it outside there’s a fire pit people hang out by the fire pit they’ll have live music they’ll have a great buffet dinner yeah it’s really uh dancing drinking it’s lovely it’s lovely lovely the other good thing is uh there are clubs within the club here at Prescott Lakes and with the social membership you are allowed to join some of those not all but some if it doesn’t involve the athletic center you can still come do bridge club book club The Women’s Club uh there’s a variety of them that are open to you so if you’re new here you can still kind of enjoy some of the Prescott Lakes social amenities we have a lot of friends who do not live in Prescott Lakes proper but they belong and we go out we have a great time yeah and meet them for dinner meet them for lunch the club is always having amazing brunches they have a beautiful Easter brunch Mother’s Day Mother’s Day Father’s Day so if you’re always kind of Prescott legs they’re essentially two options if you’re a big golfer you may want to join the golf as a golf membership golf memberships are not uh limited to just people in Prescott lake so you get a golf membership for a little bit more you’ll get access to the Athletic Club and everything so right uh if you do that it what you pay is marginally more than what you would pay if you lived in Prescott if you’re not a golfer do the social membership 60 65 absolutely no-brainer have a good time yeah and we’ll see you there you know eat in the restaurant we’re always there and it is a tremendous way to meet people new to the area yeah lots of people are not from here and they become members and it’s great to meet people and make some new connections yeah absolutely we highly recommend it we love the club we love the social membership so don’t be sad like oh I love what it has to offer but I bought a house outside of Prescott Lakes not to worry yeah we can still make it happen and you can have fun and we’ll see you there absolutely okay another tip if you’re into tips check out our free information site you can reach it at pickle411.com lots of information about real estate about events things to eat places to go things to do it’s all there whether you’re a buyer seller somewhere in between there’s something waiting for you that will Astound an amazing maybe I hope so all right friends that’s it for today have an awesome rest of your day take care bye

Holidays in Prescott
