Drive for Show, Putt for Dough

This week was our very own Harold Martin Open.  110 golfers descended on Twin Bridges Golf course.  The beer carts were full of liquid refreshments.  The beer cart drivers (The Hotties and the Cougars) were assigned to parts of the course.  There was a lot of smack talk among the drivers both of the beer carts and those with clubs in the hand.  As golfers arrived, everyone was signing in, purchasing last minute muliagain's, raffle tickets, and the 50/50.  After lunch, golfers hit the putting green and awaited the shotgun start.

Greg VanLaere and Pat Cockrum spoke briefly to the golfers about Rotary and Sycamore Services.  Buford followed up with some rules of the road for our attendees.  The weather held off and it was a great day on the links.  Golfers were laughing and carring on, while others were chasing down the beer cart.  Par or better was the suggestion.  Some say that golf is a wonderful walk spoiled by a little white ball.

I was happy to put together a team of the Hendricks County Rotary Club Presidents.  Greg Zusan, Max Hank, Scott Norris and myself.  It was great Rotary fellowship and quite the swan song as we wrap up our year of leading our clubs.  As the day wound down, golfers made their way back to the club house for the 50/50 and the raffle.  Heath Allen and Flory Phillips lead a active golf outing committee to a successful outing.  Thanks to all who worked to make this a success.

Tonight at the Danville Town Hall Meeting, the Town of Danville made the Mayberry Cafe a landmark, announced that May 20th will be forever a local holiday with parades and laughing children, and gave Brad and Christine the Keys to the Town... well maybe that is not how it all went down, but Brad and Christine were recognized for their assistance in attracting tourists to the Danville community.  Way to go Brad and Christina.

Helping Sycamore Services help children

Pat Cockrum was our program host today. Having grown up in a large family of 5 brothers and 5 sisters, Pat is able to handle what ever comes his way. He can take whatever our Rotary Club throws his way.  Pat introduced CJ Gregory. 

CJ runs Cornerstone Pediatric Rehab, a division of Sycamore.  Cornerstone works with over 200 children per month. Most being treated for some form of genetic disorder. 50 percent of the clients they work with are in Hendricks County. they work with Medicaid insurance companies in the uninsured.  physical therapy occupational therapy and speech therapy as well as nutrition and dietary services are just some of the programs that are available for cornerstone pediatric rehab. With working with children, it's all so important for the trainers to provide services to the parents of those children.

This week we also recognized Ron and Suzanne with their Paul Harris fellowship.  This week we were all so excited have Dave Powell and 2 interactors from high school join us for a meeting this week.  Next week will be farmers day (Jan 31st) followed by Apple with teacher.  You can register for Rotary Leadership Institute by following this link.  Have a great week.
