Friends for Friends Board approves Funds

The Friends for Friends Board met on March 27, 2008 and approved the dispersal of funds in the amount of $1,500 each for four families in need.

The first two nominations centered around two young boys who are waging very courageous battles against their respective neurological disorders...One boy is coping with the effects of cerebral palsy, and the other boy has been diagnosed with Neurofibromatosis, a condition that produces numerous tumors on the bones, as well as throughout the nervous system and on the skin surface...

The third nomination identified a 43-year-old man who tragically died from heart complications following routine gallbladder surgery.

And the fourth nomination was for a man who has been diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin lymphoma and is unable to work...The man is the father of three young children.

So on behalf of these four families, and the many others FfF has helped over the years, I want to thank you for your very generous support. Because of you, FfF has been able to lighten the financial load of area families who find themselves placed in very difficult circumstances. And perhaps more importantly, provide assurance to our "friends" that they are not alone in their hour of need.

Friends for Friends Twelfth Annual Golf Outing is only three weeks away.

We will tee-off on April 25th at Paxon Hollow Country Club. Please see the attached flyer for details.

This outing fills up quickly, so I would strongly urge you to register now!

Thank you for being a member and making a difference.

Regards,

Bob Carroll
President of FfF
