3rd Annual Golf Outing
October 3rd, 2005
Fox Hollow Golf and Country Club
The weather was perfect with a large crowd of golfers to support Angela’s House. Our golf outing was moved to Fox Hill Golf and Country Club. What an amazing job they did with our guests. People commented all day on the beauty of the course. We had great support all year round from our Golf committee including Tony Morrone, Jerry Focone, Sean Tracey, Joe McGovern, Chris Kutner, Ron Pace, Doug DeMarco ,Deniz Gurcan and Frank Lombardi. The day would not be possible without the help of our volunteers throughout the day.
Helping to coordinate the days activities and volunteers was Joanne Lewando and Barbara Montaldo. We also thank our sponsors this year : Chem Rx, Penske, Anjani K Sinha MD and Noble Elevator. The highlight and special moment of the day came to me when I got into a golf cart after 3 hours of working the outing. I cut across a hole and drove up to the first group I saw. I just wanted to get on the course to say hi to everyone and thank them for coming. The first group I came up to was the Steimel Family. I have known this family for the past 15 years. This family had recently lost their son Patrick. As I pulled up, Patrick’s dad said he liked and appreciated the dedicated tee sign for Patrick. I realized I had inadvertently come to the hold that was dedicated to Patrick, with the family there at that moment. I believe in Angels and this coincidence was too great to comprehend.
The cocktail hour and dinner was perfect. We celebrated the opening of Angela’s House II with a special CD presentation. The spirit and love in the room was overwhelming.
We continued our festivities as I presented a superb photo print from Angela’s House, made by Stanley Photography of Sayville, to the Pace family. The photo print was from a mural done at Angela’s House by Splashes of Hope in memory of Billy Pace.
The night was topped off with a large assortment of gifts that we raffled off. It was a special night making us look forward to next year.
