I have heard the rumors, have you? Tiger Woods joins the Tallahassee Real Estate Team At CENTURY 21 First Realty? It’s not enough to hear the rumors, but do we have photographic evidence as well?
Of course, the picture of Tiger Woods could just be the one where he is wearing the victor’s Gold Jacket after winning the Australian Masters golf tournament this past weekend, but who knows….
Speaking of golf tournaments, I was fortunate to play in a charity golf tournament at Golden Eagle on Monday. The tournament was created to support Christmas Connection and our Winning CENTURY 21 team was sponsored by Stan Kupiszewski.
Christmas Connection Serves Basic Needs Of Families
This is the time of year when many great charitable groups are raising money to help people who are down on their luck, or at least less fortunate than many of us right now. Christmas Connection tries to fulfill the wishes and some of the basic needs of hundreds of needy families each holiday season.
Christmas Connection is a non-denominational program organized by Catholic Charities and run primarily through the assistance of volunteers to help the neediest in Leon and surrounding counties. In 2008, recipients of this program (3,148 persons/507 families) were referred by caseworkers from over 40 area agencies. Over 756 volunteers contribued 2,771 hours at the site to meet this goal last Christmas.
How We Can Help The Christmas Connection
Christmas Connection is lucky to have great involvement from the Tallahassee community, and one of its bigger partners is WCTV. I have never been to a Christmas Connection event and not seen Julie Montanero, who gives tirelessly of herself to this great cause.
We can follow Julie’s lead in helping Christmas Connection bring joy to hundreds of Tallahassee families this holiday season.
Some of the different ways that you can help include:
- Adopt a Family ~ Fullfill their wish list (Call 850-222-2180)
- Donate items for specific people featured on WCTV
- Donate Money (send checks payable to Christmas Connection to PO Box 20165 Tallahassee, FL 32316)
- Donate New Money or New toys
- Donate their “MOST NEEDED” items (food/clothes/heaters/diapers/blankets)
- Volunteer at the Christmas Connection Warehouse in December
- Help Spread the Word (send a link to this article to everybody on your email lists and ask them to visit the Christmas Connection Web Site)
