Happenings

Hi all – exciting stuff this week.  We sure dodged a bullet with no snow accumulation this week.

Our very own Beacon House was featured in an article in this month’s Hampton Roads Health Journal.  Here is the link:  http://www.thehealthjournals.com/article-283-traumatic-brain-injury-putting-the-pieces-back-together.html. Jim,  Larry and Mary are all members at the Beacon House.  Plus I found out today  that Tallwood High School here in Va Bch will be doing some stuff for the Foundation.  First, on April 1, all proceeds from the teacher vs. student basketball game will be donated to us.  Second, they will host the first friendAble social club’s spring dance on May 8.  Red carpet and all.  The 3rd annual golf outing is set for May 15.  Thanks to cuz Jimmy, we will be playing at Little Creek Amphib Base’s Eagle Haven Golf Course.  The details are going out tomorrow.  So dust off the sticks!

Late last week, we met with Community Services Board of Virginia Beach.  Our presentation introduced us and what we are doing to help the community.  We put the idea out there to use a city facility to hold the social club.  This was well received and we are hoping we can find a larger place.

The Foundation now has an intern (actually a practicum) and a volunteer who attends the Norfolk State Unversity’s clinical counselings school.

Keep the Faith,

Matt
