19th
Annual DAHU Golf Tournament
Benefiting Jonathan’s
Place The date is set for the 19th annual DAHU Golf
Tournament. It is confirmed for Thursday, September 8th at
The Tribute Golf Club. This will be the second consecutive
year we have held the tournament at The Tribute. This facility
is exceptional for our type of event and this year we are
expecting a memorable outing for all. The Tribute is consistently
voted one of the top public facilities in Texas and one of
the best places to host a tournament. For more information
on the course, and to start plotting your strategy, visit
their website at www.thetributegolflinks.com.
If the thought of playing a great course with some great folks
doesn’t get you fired up, how about the idea of improving
the lives of children in the community? You know that much
of the tournaments proceeds go to charity, don’t you?
This year our tournament again benefits Jonathan’s Place.
Jonathan’s Place is a licensed emergency shelter providing
temporary transitional living services for abused, neglected,
abandoned and drug-affected children. The facility was created
and is operated by the Kid Net Foundation, a non profit organization
founded in 1991 by Dallas resident Lisa Matthews and Phil
Matteis to provide specialized services and housing to at-risk
children in Dallas County and throughout the state. If you
want to find out more about this wonderful organization please
visit www.kidnet.org.
This years tournament will feature prizes for the lowest gross
score as well as low net so those of you who want to load
up with “A” players will have a chance to win
straight up! But if that’s the only reason you want
to play, you need to visit the aforementioned website www.kidnet.org.
Therein lies the reason to play.
If you have questions about the tournament or would like to
volunteer your assistance, please contact me. 972-385-3710

I would
like to invite and encourage association members to participate
in the 2005 Komen Plano Race for the Cure on Saturday June
4th at 8 AM. As you know these events, held throughout the
country, raise funds for the fight against breast cancer.
Last years proceeds from the race were awarded to nine, local
non-profit agencies serving the needs of medically underserved
women in North Texas.
DAHU
is forming a team to participate in this very worthwhile and
fun event. The cost is only $18 per person. Participants will
receive a tee shirt as well as admission to the race venue
the morning of Saturday June 4th. The location is EDS/The
Shops at Legacy in Plano. Please do not be deterred by the
term “race.” We will be participating in the fun
walk!
Sign up with you friends or family and spend a fun morning
with them. The atmosphere at this event is both emotional
and festive. Many vendor/sponsors will be there with giveaways
and such. For those of us who
do open enrollment meetings, we know the power of the giveaway!
This is your chance to be on the receiving end!
Great
strides have been made in the fight against breast cancer
and this charity has done much to further that progress. Will
your participation, donation or involvement help to save a
life? It just might.
Please
contact me for more information on this event. All you need
to do is complete an application (which I will promptly fax
to you) and promise a check for $18.00 or provide credit card
information. The deadline in
near!
