Last Friday, I reported that Topeka South Rotary had selected Silverbackks, Inc. and Valeo Behavioral Health Care as co-beneficiaries of TSR's annual Golf Tournament. The goal of the tournament – to be held at Cypress Ridge Golf Course on June 24, 2016 – is to raise $2,500 each for:
- Silverbackks' Silver Pantry, which provides support for families who have recently moved from a shelter into their own homes or who are at risk of losing housing.
- Valeo's Supported Education Program, which provides individualized assistance in gaining the academic skills needed to be successful in supporting efforts to receive a GED, receive vocational education and participate in college. (The program serves those who are living below poverty, have Severe and Persistent Mental Illness, and are trying to better themselves through higher education.)
Other committee members included President Faron Barr, First Vice President Paul Bossert, Service Committee Chair Jenalea Randall, Treasurer Adam Feldhausen and Past President Kip Slattery.
We received applications from six very well deserving and wonderful organizations – making the decision very challenging.
