GOLF TOURNAMENT WAS A HUGE SUCCESS!!

The 8th Annual PROJECT: VetRelief Golf Tournament was held on Monday, September 27th at the beautiful Bella Collina Golf Course in Monteverde, FL. At approximately 8:30 AM, after attendees stood at attention for the national anthem, roughly 124 golfers were on their way as they listened to Bruce Springsteen’s “Born in the USA”.

PVR Board President, Bob James, hosted corporate partners, vendors, and friends to a fun-filled day of golf. Participants were able to compete in the Wheatley Realty fastest hole contest and had an opportunity to take away $10,000 cash for the hole-in-one prize. But, the most amazing part was that everyone came together for one sole purpose… to support Florida’s veterans and their families.

Mr. James was able to meet his fundraising goal, and revealed the ‘BIG CHECK’ written for $65,000 to PROJECT: VetRelief during the awards banquet! This is a record-setting donation and is ALL net proceeds that directly benefit our mission.

We are grateful to Mr. James and his wife, Rita, and the entire RL James, Inc. team for their continued support of our organization, as they have been a tremendous part of our program’s overall success! Additionally, we are thankful to all the sponsors and players for their contributions to our mission. From the amazing volunteers who pitched into the awesome Bella Collina staff, it sure was one successful event!!

WELCOME TO THE TEAM, LENORA!

Please help us welcome Lenora James to the PVR Team! She started mid-September as our Veterans Case Worker and has already made an impact on our veteran community.

Lenora has always loved working with people and helping others in her daily and professional life. When the opportunity came for Lenora to consider our program, it felt like a natural fit. As a Navy wife and Coast Guard mother, Lenora recognizes the importance of support programs for military servicemembers as they make lifestyle transitions throughout their life. Her family has had to experience many transitions and had to move several times.

FALL CONFERENCE ACTIVITIES

Fall Conference is coming up, and there will be plenty of opportunities for you to join us to learn about the program or introduce yourself to our newest Team Member, Lenora!

There will be two Introductory Advocate Trainings this year. We are so excited that we have the opportunity to hold a special class for Auxiliary members on Friday afternoon. Details on both classes will be shared through the Legion and Auxiliary agendas.

For the first time ever, we will be presenting during all Legion Family General Sessions. Be sure to attend those meetings to hear our successes and goals for the year! Please stop by our table in the vendor area to say hello and pick up materials to take back with you to the Post.
