FROM THE PRESIDENT’S DESK

Tim Fries, PGA

Hello everyone! Just a quick note to kick off this very informative newsletter filled with an ever-increasing number of initiatives headed up by our fabulous Section Staff, Board, PGA members, volunteers, and of course the benefactors of “why” we love doing this!

Thanks to your leads we have begun “road trips” and presentations to prospective fundraisers to one day manage facilities that would truly benefit in perpetuity each of our Foundation pillars Military, Youth, and D&I. This is very exciting, and we are extremely humbled by engaging groups and individuals that could make this happen in multiple locations in our WNY Section. We absolutely continue to seek out opportunities to speak to interested parties with your help – let us know! Thank you to Jacob and Hope that have gone on to continue their life’s journeys and careers! I hope you were able to meet both of them and their infectious smiles and wonderful demeanors. Their lights shone brightly but too briefly as young ambassadors in our Foundation’s missions. We wish them the very best!

We warmly welcome Victoria, Mackenzie, and Marissa to our Section staff and have already benefitted from their work ethics, enthusiasm, and motivations. But I must say Steve and Bob have been fantastic as our Section’s and Foundation’s bedrock emissaries! Their tireless work that benefits not only our Section programs, but our Foundation’s ultimate goals has been fantastic and cannot be understated. Please shake their hand, high-five, knuckle-bump, or all the above next time you see them – they truly go over and above! Make Some Birdies! Respectfully,

Tim Fries, PGA PGA Reach WNY President
