Safety Spotlights Donated

Volunteer George G. installing lights

all lit up!

We continue to have our vehicles broken into and southernchestercountyelectric and cash & carry electric stepped in to help deter crime by donating spotlights and installation.  As you can see from the pictures the alley is now very well lit.  This is another example of  volunteer business owners stepping up to help us.  Now 4 am pick ups for the upcoming season won’t be as scary.

Its just the beginning!

Every once in a while a kid comes along that just is plain interested in things.  Frankie got to spend some time with our partners at Pipeline and some time at the Little League World Series as part of our outreach.  The sparkle in his eyes through out the 2 day adventure let us know that kids love to learn.  The future looks very bright for this young man!

CAMP COMPASS at the AT&T National

This past weekend found us at the AT&T National in Newton Square, PA.  Two outreach students Alec C. and Jed C. were chosen becasue of their interest in golf and their efforts during the school year and at home.  We got to see Boo and Tiger warm up side by side and then got to watch a lot of pros playing.  Another  highlight was the autographs the boys got from different PGA pro’s.  Way to go boys!

Gulf Oil Spill Hurts Us TOO!

Last Year's Catch!

Recently they closed off shore fishing in the Gulf near Pensacola.  2 of our students EARNED a trip to the Gulf Coast to Fish aboard the Entertainer for the Annual boo weekley visit.  Well needless to say they won’t get the opportunity to go because of the oil spill.  We tried to have United airlines work with us to rename the already purchased plane tickets for 2 more deserving kids to go next year but to no avail.  We did file a claim with BP for the airfare.  we will keep you posted!
