Corrections Foundation Fifth Annual Golf Tournament
By: Sheri G. Logue, Administrative Director
The Corrections Foundation held its 5th Annual Golf Tournament on Monday, November 1, 2004, at the beautiful Southwood Golf Club in Tallahassee. After having to reschedule our original date due to Hurricane Jeanne we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day for this special event. The annual golf tournament is the Foundation’s largest fundraising effort and helps raise awareness and funds for Foundation programs, including the Employee Assistance Program.
With 124 golfers in attendance from all over the state and the U.S., the event was a huge success. We were honored to have Secretary Crosby attend and greet our participants throughout the day. We sincerely appreciate Secretary Crosby and Assistant Secretary Denman for their support of this annual event and of the Foundation. We also appreciate the unwavering support of our Board members who were able to attend including our Board President, Louie Wainwright, Vice President,Tom Rush, Treasurer, Dave Mecusker, and members Betty Bennett, Richard Nimer, Bill Woolley, Robert Woody, and Sheila Logue. In addition to having a wonderful golf tournament we were pleased to welcome the Foundation’s new Executive Director, Dr. Evelyn Ploumis-Devick at the awards ceremony.
