Wet Golf with Lots of Fun!

This past Saturday we had our annual RMC Golf Open fund-raiser and season kick-off event at the Hollows Golf course. We had 63 golfers and 20 additional people for lunch. The course was extremely wet, but the rains held off while we golfed and came as most of us were coming off the course. We had a great day to mix and mingle prior to teeing off. We appreciate the support of all the hole sponsors and gift givers. This has become one of the special events our team enjoys doing each year. Thanks to all who helped make it a success for us.

Involvement with Fund-Raising and ReeseStrong

The team is often asked to participate in fund-raising activities for our team as well as other organizations. This past weekend we had a few of our players, Lindsey, Kellie, Caroline, Paige, Sarah, and Jill participate in the ReeseStrong 5k run. As some may recall from reading through my blogs that Reese Klauer, our little girl assigned to us by the Friends of Jaclyn, has her own ReeseStrong organization, which helps other pediatric cancer patients. Congratulations to those players for running on Saturday and raising more dollars for them. Then we have our own fund-raising activities--our golf tourney on September 24 at the Hollows. We are also selling caramel corn and peanut brittle and it is some tasty stuff! You can purchase any of those items from a player, but thanks to Madison, we are on our way to becoming great sales people. You can always help us out in some way-play golf, buy something, or make the donation.

Storms and Rain

We were very fortunate that there was limited damage and no power lost during Irene's quest of the east coast. Lots of cleanup around campus and throughout the area, but all in all very minor compared to some folks we know. Our Friends of Jaclyn girl, Reese, and her family had a huge tree destroy their house. A picture of their home was an Assoc. Press photo so it was seen in many newspapers around the country. They will be misplaced for about 8-weeks. That is never a good situation when school started this week and they are without familiar surroundings. They also have to drive a ways to get Rhett and Reese to school. Meanwhile our students arrived safely to begin their school year. So we are off and running this week. Now Lee and Katia are causing some serious rains and many thunderstorms. It doesn't help our Fall sports schedules when everything is soaking. Right now we are all safe and sound, afterall we do need the rain since the summer was so hot and dry. Besides the rain is good for all those Fall lawn reparation duties.
