WOW!!! What a great day. The weather cooperated
beautifully for
the golf tournament. It was so much fun to see everyone take off in their
golf carts and everyone on the
sidelines clapping and cheering for the golfers. The Kissing Camels Golf
Club did such a wonderful job (as always) on the tournament, the set-up and according
to Doug the weather and Abby taking the pictures which is featured online for
everyone to enjoy. (Click
Here and enter "EWI Golf Tournament" to see Kreuser
Gallery online photos of the tournament.)
The wonderful volunteers from EWI, I thank you all so
much for all of your hard work. The process went smooth and everyone pitched
in from the
night before at the Old Town Guesthouse where we stuffed the "tee bags" to
those who helped through to the end of the luncheon. We had the first place
winners for Men, Women and Mixed who
received Gift Cards from Kissing Camels!
After the tournament we went across
the street to the Garden of the Gods Club and had drinks on the terrace which
overlooked the beautiful Garden of the Gods and a great lunch in the room
which opened up to the same view as the
terrace. What can I say about the
sponsors we had on our raffle - they were GREAT!!!!
We were lucky to
have two of our sponsorship recipients with us at the luncheon, Rebecca
Tonne and
Nicole Wilder, so everyone there can see
the benefits of our scholarship tournament. One of the comments I continuously
heard was how wonderful
our gifts were. We had everything from the top of our heads to the
tips of our toes and beyond.
I cannot express how grateful I am to
all who participated this year, you were the greatest. It continued
to make our tournament one of the BEST in town and this is
from the "golfer's mouths". I have the names of all who sponsored
us this year listed below, please take time to review these names and give
thanks to all who did help to make our event so
successful.
Again I would like to thank ALL the people who helped
make this a GREAT event for our scholarship recipients
and our L-Cam ladies. Whenever you have a chance
to help people in any capacity it leaves you with a wonderful
feeling and I feel this way about the support we received
from everyone in EWI. You all are wonderful!
Please view the photo gallery of the event and a
list of contributors below within the newsletter.
Thank you,
Carol & Dianne

President's Message ...
A Blessed Fourth of July
by Susan Davis,
Wells Fargo Wealth Management
Group |
|
 "We
hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created
equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with
certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty
and the pursuit of Happiness. -- That to secure these rights, Governments
are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent
of the governed, -- That whenever any Form of Government becomes
destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter
or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation
on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to
them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."
Excerpted from the Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776
Please remember our young men and women fighting for our freedom.
Think of them every day and be grateful for what we have and
that we live in such a GREAT country! May God bless you and
your family
as we celebrate our nation's birth.
Here is a link to read the entire Declaration of Independence
and see all the signers. http://holidays.kaboose.com/july-4/declaration-of-independence/july4-decl.html

diverse group of business, government, and nonprofit
leaders and community members to an in-depth study of the
issues and opportunities facing the Pikes Peak region. Entering
its
twenty-sixth year, participants commit to an average of one
day a month over ten months to gain a deeper understanding
of the community by integrating in depth knowledge, leadership
skill development, and opportunities to take action.

Our program for August is a collaboration between EWI
and the Girl Scouts - called GOT MONEY.
This will be an interactive
program to combine our mission of Community and EWI by
providing stations with volunteer leaders to teach young
women lifelong
money habits. Each station
will have a topic and the girls and EWI member "partners" will
rotate to all of the tables.
Upon completion, the girls will
earn a charm, like the badges we used
to earn, for their new knowledge. They have a wonderful booklet
that will be our guide for the evening. Sandy Taylor and
Marty Lockhart from our Colorado Springs office have worked
with
Susan Davis and me on this program.
This is a unique opportunity for us to share our vast knowledge
and help the Girl Scouts prepare for their financial future.
It promises to be a fun and new type of program and we encourage
you to step up and serve as leaders at a table. There will
be 7 stations and 2 women
have
already volunteered to man 2 of them. We will need 5 more
women for the leadership position at the other 5 tables,
so please contact me if you would
enjoy teaching our Girl Scouts financial tools for their
future.
Please Save the Date: AUGUST 13, 2008 for GOT MONEY with
the Girl Scouts and
EWI.
