Golf Tournament

Monday, September 22, 2008
Almaden Golf and Country Club

This September, the Almaden Community Center will host its second annual charity golf tournament.  All proceeds from this tournament will benefit Friends of CARRA in honor of local Almaden resident Christina Powery who passed away at age ten from Juvenile Dermatomyositis.  Friends of CARRA dedicate its time and resources for finding a cure for all forms of childhood rheumatic diseases.

The cost, which is normally $175, is only $150 if you are a senior program member.  This fee covers your golf, golf cart, range balls, lunch, official tournament gift bag, raffle prizes, and dinner awards ceremony.  Registration and donations are tax deductible.

Don't have a foursome?  No problem, we will pair you up with other members from our program.


James Barcia is our new Food Service Coordinator
Please join us in congratulating James Barcia in his promotion to Food Service Coordinator.  James has been preparing our meals at Almaden since January, and anyone who has tasted his meals can attest to his talent.  James will now be taking his extensive background in the food service industry and using it to take our lunch program to new heights.


Sizzlin' Volunteers Needed

Friday, August 15 at 6:00 p.m. the Almaden Community Center will be hosting Sizzlin' Summer Night, a fun-packed event for all ages which will include food, games, a car show and, best of all: a dunk tank where you will have the opportunity to soak your favorite staff.  Lots of volunteers are needed to make this event a success.  Jobs include working carnival games, monitoring cars, food sales, and baking cupcakes for the cupcake walk.  If you are interested in helping out at this great event, stop by the front desk and sign up.  For more info, call Torie or Jamie at 268-1133.

 


Sunshine Committee
Know of someone who needs to be remembered?  The Almaden Senior Program has a Sunshine Committee which is in charge of making sure cards are sent out to all members for their various life events.  Vivian Malloy is currently the chairperson of this committee and is great at making sure all get good cheer.  Call the office if you would like us to get a card off to someone.
