FCHUM Ministries News - Volume 11 Issue 1 - Winter/Spring 2009

More than ever, after a full fiscal year in our new facility, we realize what a blessing we have been given. This past year, our Individual & Family Assistance Center has seen, on average, approximately 50% more people coming in for assistance. At the old site we would have had to turn people away. The new Adult Day Center space, specifically designed for Adult Day, has allowed our staff and volunteers to better meet the needs of our frail older adults and their families.

Links Golf Foundation

Links June, 2008 - For 13 years the Links Golf Foundation has been bringing men together once a year for a weekend of golfing fun and raising money to help good causes. Over those 13 years they have raised close to $250,000. This year Fern Creek Highview United Ministries is one of the beneficiaries of their effort. Much thanks to Councilman Robin Engel for helping FCHUM make the connection and to Dan Henle, a member of St. Gabriel and part of the Link Foundation for getting our name into consideration. This year’s event took place June 22nd and 23rd, in Carrollton, KY. FCHUM Executive Director Rev. Ron Loughry was able to help with the event on Monday and was impressed with the level of dedication these men had toward not merely having a good time but to raising funds to help those in need. We should know by the end of July just how much FCHUM will receive from this year’s effort. Thanks guys for a great effort!

This event helped raise $5,000 for the Fern Creek/Highview United Ministries Capital Building Project Fund. This year the Council squad was soundly defeated (to protect the innocent, we will not print the score!), but the team has vowed revenge in 2009!
