I have been away from my office and the joy of writing this blog for awhile… My day job and passion in retirement is vice chair of Neighbors for Kids in Depoe Bay, Oregon.

I was very proud and honored to have played in NFK’s 5th Annual Charity Golf event yesterday. The kids in the photo above in my foursome include, from the left, Logan, (Steve), Janie, and Gray. Logan is age 12, from Taft, and plays like a future Tiger Woods! Both Janie and Gray, HS seniors from Newport, are very good on the course. All three are exemplary kids and young adults… I was able to redeem myself from time to time with some great shots, especially on the 16th hole pictured above. It was one of the best times in my life on the golf course… The experience touched my heart deeply…
This year’s tournament was also a defining moment for Neighbors for Kids. The photos above make a powerful statement of who we are as we go forward making a huge difference for kids and the community we serve. We are so very grateful for the overwhelming community support for this event! There is so much to be thankful for as we celebrate and appreciate the heartwarming work we do for children and families in Lincoln County, Oregon.
