Golf Tournament

Hello all,

"Golf Tournament"

Before anyone makes a joke I understand it is not exactly golf weather... Attached is the flyer for our 7th annual golf tournament to benefit Children's Miracle Network and Clarksburg Baseball (the little guys and gals). As many of you know this is an event that is near and dear to my heart, last year we raised over 10K for the charities and our goal for this year is 15K! This is the one and only charitable event we do each year so I would really like to see as many of you get involved as possible. There are several ways:

Play Golf- Foursomes are now forming, all of the information is on the flyer.

Party Bus/Bowling- Instead of stumbling off the party bus this year participants will be invited to tip toe down the bowling lanes! Groups of 4 are now forming for a tournament, prizes for the top three groups.

Come For Dinner- Join the golfers and bowlers back at the club for dinner, awards and raffle. Cost is $40 per person.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

Enjoy the coffee,

Joe 

INSPIRATION FOR TODAY:

"A perfect summer day is when the sun is shining, the breeze is blowing, the birds are singing, and the lawn mower is broken." 

 

~ James Dent

 

THE DOG DAYS! 

 

The quote for today seems appropriate during these hazy summer days of sweltering heat and high grass. It's so easy to picture the perfect summer day and how we might just lie back in the hammock, or take the family to the park. Unfortunately, it's just about as easy for us to picture all the responsibilities we would be ignoring to take just such advantage of the day. 

 

However, don't forget that your physical and mental well-being are also your responsibility, and if you ignore those, you simply won't be able to successfully fulfill your other obligations. Corita Kent said, "Love the moment and the energy of the moment will spread beyond all boundaries." 

 

Take time out to do something really important - taking time out - even if it means "pretending" the lawn mower (computer, mobile device) is broken. Step back, reevaluate your priorities, and let things fall back in line. "I could have had my presentation done ahead of schedule if we hadn't taken that Sunday drive," becomes "I gave the best presentation of my life because I really cleared my head on that Sunday drive." 

 

There's room for everything you love in your life - your work, your family, your interests. An imbalance in any of these can have a negative impact on the others, so beware and be aware of your priorities. If it's time to devote attention to the (seemingly) "little things," so be it. Don't miss your golden opportunity for a beautiful moment because it seems so small you don't even perceive it. 

 

Wonder at the sun shine, feel the breeze blow, listen to the birds sing, because "life is not lost by dying; life is lost minute by minute, day by day, in all the thousand small, uncaring ways." (Stephen Saint Vincent Benet)
