I know I say it every year about our golf tournament, but it is TRUE every year; the Little Sisters of the Poor’s annual golf tournament once again broke its attendance and fundraising goal by raising over $35,000!!!! That is just incredible!!!! And, it brings us that much closer to purchasing our new bus for our Residents.

Francis Kelly, chaplain; Bev Polcha, R.N., assistant director of nursing; Barb Politowski, housekeeping and laundry supervisor; Cathy Skrutski; Donna Solon, housekeeping and laundry; and Marlene Tonkin, receptionist.

We would also like to extend a special thank you to WNEP-TV 16 for producing such a beautiful commercial for us, WNEP meteorologist Kurt Aaron and investigative reporter Dave Bohman for playing in the tournament, Lamar Advertising for donating billboard space, and Matt Burne Honda for providing a new car for our hole in one contest. (Unfortunately, nobody landed that perfect shot, but maybe somebody will next year!)

Until Next Time,
Jackie
