Editor,
What amazing support we had last month for the Fifth Annual CASA Golf Scramble at Polson Bay Golf Course.
The golf field was packed and golfers enjoyed an awesome day — albeit a little wind. The course was in great shape, the celebrities had their usual great time and a significant amount of money was raised for Court Appointed Special Advocates for children of Lake County.
There’s little doubt economic times are challenging in Lake County but there are caring people here who find a way to help whoever they can.
CASA clients, all of whom are children, are displaced and often abused youngsters who have no other sole voice in the court system. The recommendation that comes forward from CASA volunteers, after extensive research, is crucial in the final determination of the placement of these children.
So thanks again to all who participated either by fielding a team or becoming a sponsor, and to Mike Parker’s CASA Golf Committee who did such an outstanding job in making sure things ran smoothly.
A special thanks to Matt Olson who again bailed me out with his auction expertise and to Cameron Milton and Roger Wallace at the golf course for their usual able assistance and dedication.
And thanks to the Valley Journal for their usual support. That’s what community newspapers are meant to do and nobody does it better.
