What's With All The Tie Dyed Shirts On Day 1?
|
|
Story behind the Douglas Ladies Tie Dyed Shirts
Our Douglas Golf Pro, Curtis Starkey's wife, Sharon was diagnosed with a meningioma brain tumor in the Fall of 2016. After surgery during recovery she
discovered the "Denver Brain Tumor Walk"; a fund raiser and awareness for brain tumor research and cure. Of the 5,000 people who participated
in the 3 mile walk at Sloan's Lake in Denver, several families and supporters were dressed alike. The Starkey family decided to tie dye shirts
for the event & being Bronco fans a lot of blue & orange were incorporated in the designs.
Hearing the story and seeing pictures of the "Survivor's", the Douglas Ladies Golf Assn. decided to honor and support this important cause by
having the Starkey family make tie dye shirts for the WSWGA tournament.
Who knew Tie Dye was going to be so popular this year & what a wonderful way to bring awareness to a condition that affects more people than we realize.
Thank you ladies for sharing this story with all our WSWGA members.

Lander Community & Convention Center
This location was used for the meeting, dinner and entertainment on Tuesday evening. It was
used for lunch, and awards presentation on Wednesday. The Community Center is located at 950 Buena Vista Drive
and sits between holes 15 and 16 on the golf course.

|
|
Our Chosen Local Charities
(Our tournament profit will be split between these two wonderful charities.)
|
Friday Backpack Program
The Friday Backpack Program - is designed to provide a backpack full of ready-to-eat or easily prepared
food to send home on Fridays with the school district's neediest students who may have nothing or very little
to eat on weekends. This program currently feeds 40 families with a total of 179 people. On the average it
takes $2.20 per person per week to feed these children and their families. All of the money goes to buying
food and bags; there is no overhead paid by the program. 100% of your donation goes to buying food or bags
to put the food in.
| |
First Stop Help Center - is dedicated to helping people in crisis, especially those facing homelessness. Our
most important goal is to help people achieve long-term sustainability and financial freedom. Through our
education program, clients establish their personal priorities, goals and budgets. The First Stop Help Center
is a non-profit, non-denominational organization which serves as the first stop for individuals and families in
crises. Here they can begin to get the help they need.
|
WSWGA Presents Charity Checks To Backpack Pgm & First Stop |
After all other tournament expenses had been paid, we closed out the 2017 Lander Tournament account by presenting our final
two checks to the Friday Backpack Program and the First Stop Help Center. The total paid to these two wonderful charities
was $12,811.00 and were presented by Mary Comings and her committee.
Stephanie Harris (Friday Backpack Program), Deanne Trumble and Linda Hudson (First Stop Help Center) are shown here accepting
the donations. Click on the photo for a larger view.
Many thanks to all of our tournament players as well as some members who were unable to play and to our many
volunteers who all helped making this tournament such a success.

Thank you, Lander Wild Women for such a wonderful tournament. You did a marvelous job in facilitating the WSWGA Tournament this summer. And a
special thank you for the beautiful necklace I was presented. I wear it and think of all the fantastic women I know because of WSWGA.

It is so much fun getting to meet ladies from across our great state. Thank you Lander ladies for all of your hard work in putting together
this fun tournament.

The Lander ladies' feat was even more impressive since they hadn't done it before! I especially loved playing in the county where I grew up
and where I first played golf on the "now" back nine. Thank you, Lander. It seems each year is more fun as one gets more acquainted with
women around the state and friendships deepen.

The Landers ladies did a fantastic job with the entire tournament - raffle items, entry gift, door prizes, meals, scoring, etc. etc. absolutely
everything was perfect. And the course was in great shape. Thanks Lander for a great tournament.

What a great job the Lander Tournament Committee did in putting together the 2017 WSWGA Tournament. Many thanks to Mary Comings, Susan Brodie
and their crew for all of their hard work. I have been wanting to play this course for years, and I was excited to finally get that opportunity.
Thanks for all of your hard work and, hopefully, you will be willing to host us again another year.
