Hi, everybody.

00:00:01.760 --> 00:00:04.280 align:middle line:90%
Welcome to the Poetry Center.

00:00:04.280 --> 00:00:07.798 align:middle line:84%
Thank you so much for being here
and spending a little bit, yeah,

00:00:07.798 --> 00:00:09.840 align:middle line:84%
spending a little bit of
time with us, especially

00:00:09.840 --> 00:00:10.760 align:middle line:90%
on a Saturday.

00:00:10.760 --> 00:00:12.280 align:middle line:90%
Thank you so much.

00:00:12.280 --> 00:00:14.840 align:middle line:90%
My name is Paola Valenzuela.

00:00:14.840 --> 00:00:18.080 align:middle line:84%
I work here at the Poetry Center
as the event and development

00:00:18.080 --> 00:00:22.080 align:middle line:84%
coordinator and I'm so
excited for this concert.

00:00:22.080 --> 00:00:25.220 align:middle line:84%
Seeing everybody here today--
our Saturdays are like quiet.

00:00:25.220 --> 00:00:29.480 align:middle line:84%
So it's just nice to see so
many people here at the center.

00:00:29.480 --> 00:00:31.380 align:middle line:84%
Yeah, it's already
made my weekend better

00:00:31.380 --> 00:00:33.660 align:middle line:84%
and I hope that this event
makes your weekend better.

00:00:33.660 --> 00:00:34.920 align:middle line:90%
So yeah.

00:00:34.920 --> 00:00:36.560 align:middle line:84%
And then before we
begin, I just wanted

00:00:36.560 --> 00:00:39.960 align:middle line:84%
to let everybody know that the
bathrooms are on the other side

00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:41.640 align:middle line:90%
of this wall to my right.

00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:44.160 align:middle line:84%
There's a water fountain
there if anyone needs it.

00:00:44.160 --> 00:00:46.780 align:middle line:84%
And then folks probably saw
this as you all were coming in,

00:00:46.780 --> 00:00:49.977 align:middle line:84%
but there is two tables in
the back with some folks

00:00:49.977 --> 00:00:51.560 align:middle line:84%
that are going to
tell us a little bit

00:00:51.560 --> 00:00:53.100 align:middle line:90%
about their organizations today.

00:00:53.100 --> 00:00:55.560 align:middle line:84%
But if after the event
you have any questions

00:00:55.560 --> 00:00:58.200 align:middle line:84%
or you want to ask
questions, yeah, you'll

00:00:58.200 --> 00:01:00.440 align:middle line:90%
find them back there.

00:01:00.440 --> 00:01:03.760 align:middle line:84%
But yeah, once again,
thank you for being here.

00:01:03.760 --> 00:01:06.100 align:middle line:84%
You're in for some
amazing music.

00:01:06.100 --> 00:01:07.180 align:middle line:90%
I'm really excited.

00:01:07.180 --> 00:01:08.702 align:middle line:90%
I hope you are too.

00:01:08.702 --> 00:01:10.160 align:middle line:84%
And before we begin,
I'm just going

00:01:10.160 --> 00:01:13.480 align:middle line:84%
to have Sarah and Alton just
come up here and say a couple

00:01:13.480 --> 00:01:13.980 align:middle line:90%
words.

00:01:13.980 --> 00:01:16.500 align:middle line:90%
So yeah, thank you.

00:01:16.500 --> 00:01:17.000 align:middle line:90%
