Susan B Komen

was a victim of the disease, just
like the First Wives Club movie,
if I remember correctly...I just
finished up hosting my 2nd event
here at Llano Grande Golf Course.
Last year, 25 ladies joined up, this
year 44 MEN and women joined me in this
fundraising event. I put out the call to the
ladies in my golf league. They signed up,
as well as our sister park Victoria Palms.
I raised over $800. Everyone won at least
ONE door prize including a golf bag
donated by my boss. Freddy Couples joined
us again for a photo session, thanks to
Jimmy at Honey Creek Golf Course in
Boone, Iowa......I did this.....for my
cousins on the other side of the family
who lost their mom to this disease back
in the 60's. Daughter/cousin Lisa is now about
an 8 year survivor...Sally's mom also
passed in the 60's, Sally was 8 years old.
She also lost an Aunt and a cousin has
issues today. A golf/bowling friend is
close to a 30 year survivor. A new friend in
our photography club is a 10 year survivor..I DO THIS
for my dear friend Barb, we lost her to this disease
about 5 years ago....
I do this for Cousin REESE.....she is 5 years old.
With our donations to help the research, maybe
Reese won't have to go thru the same things
that her grandmother and aunt had to go through.

THINK PINK.....WEAR PINK......RALLY FOR THE CURE

CARRY ON MY FRIENDS

I am so happy to be back online. No problem
last season in the RGV, the wiring is not the
best on the east side of our park. We are the
first section built. Go figure. They just
installed a new tower in the North, but NO
tower at all in the East. I have been all over
the web sites I love for a few hours, trying
to answer e mails, read e mails, reading the
DSM Register to catch up on Iowa....Who knew that
just within the last 14 years anyone would be
so attached to the internet with communication
by something that did not exist in the 90's. Mainly
speaking about the WWW.....Amazing where technology
has taken us and how we all depend on it to keep
in touch with family and friends via an e mail
or a silly story or a survey about your favorite
things....share a photo of life or your grand kids
or the last vacation, alumni event, your hobby.
I love it and I am addicted and miss it when I am
unable to LOG ON to the internet. Thank you Joe
for your service and keep in touch mis amigos.....
Aloha.....Carry on.......FORE....
