In Booster Club will hold its addition to the hole-in-one contest ninth annual golf tournament reward, a cash prize will be awarded to on Friday, Aug. 5, at Four Seasons first, second and third places. Dinner Golf Club, 949 Church St., Lanwill be hosted at Blue Collar, which is disville. The event is rain-or-shine located at Four Seasons. The Hempfield Basketball Booster Club is comprised of volunteers who share a goal of assisting with the costs necessary to play on the teams. Throughout the year, the needs of the teams and requirements for orchestrating various games produce several costs that need to be covered. These can include travel expenses, referee fees, purchases of player uniforms and equipment, summer league fees and many other necessary overheads. The funds raised and used to cover these costs play a vital role for the team and players; the golf tournament directly aids in making sure the costs are all covered so the teams can function. The money raised from the event even supports programs beyond the high school teams, with the junior varsity and summer leagues benefiting directly as well. “This is the No. 1 fundraiser for the club,” explained parent volunteer and former boys booster blub president Daren Moffat. “It’s a great day to go out and have some fun while you support the teams.” The club has placed a strong emphasis on the local community aspect of the event, electing to host it again at Four Seasons Golf Club this year. There are multiple sponsorship opportunities available for the tournament for those who wish to get directly involved. The deadline for registration is Friday, July 29, but same-day registration will also be accepted.

Photographic Memories Volunteers Help Share Camp Experiences With Families BY ANN MEAD ASH
In the early days of Aaron’s Acres, an organization that provides socialization and recreation for children and young adults with special needs ages 5 to 21, the summer camp program served 25 or fewer campers. When Risa Paskoff, executive director of Aaron’s Acres, wanted parents to see pictures of what the children did at camp, she simply
asked the nurse to take photos. Staff and campers worked together to create a memory book for each child to take home. “Once we got big (serving more than 200 campers), the nurse didn’t have the time (to take photos),” recalled Paskoff. Instead, Paskoff turned to community members and asked them to help. “We want the community to see our kids,” said Paskoff. “A lot of people think kids See Aaron’s Acres pg 2
