As we have been hearing constantly in the news (end experiencing in our own lives), the U.S. economy is in dire shape. People are experiencing unexpected hardships in their lives, and all of us are struggling to deal with a new reality. Times like this often cause folks to reflect on their lives - their wants versus needs, what they place priority on, what is meaningful to them. I know I've been pondering these things, both personally and professionally. Since this is a CPCH blog, though, I'll confine my comments to the professional!
Something that is meaningful to all of us at CPCH is the way our supporters give generously of their unique gifts to help those we serve. As we all know, givers and gifts come in many forms, and sometimes the right giver with the right gift arrives unexpectedly.
Ken Stout at Nuconsteel in Denton is a great example of this. Ken approached CPCH in 2007 about Nuconsteel hosting a charity golf tournament for our benefit. This was not something we were expecting, but it turned out to be a wonderful experience. Ken brought his tournament planning expertise, some great volunteers, and a gift for securing sponsorships to the table, and the first tournament in 2008 was a success!
Now, we're planning the 2009 event for March 28 at the Golf Club at Fossil Creek in Ft. Worth. Even in this tough economic climate, businesses and individuals are generously supporting the tournament. We have high hopes that we'll raise even more to help CPCH's kids and families this year. If you'd like to join us, feel free to call me at (940) 382-5112 x 270.
