THIRD ANNUAL
GOLF TOURNAMENT RAISES $7,500.00 IN SCHOLARSHIP MONEY FOR JAY
GRADUATES
Overcast skies and a slightly
damp green over the Labor Day Weekend didn't keep golfers away from Tapatio
Springs Resort for the Third Annual John Jay H.O.P.E. Golf Tournament,
Silent Auction & Buffet Dinner, sponsored by the The John Jay H.O.P.E.
Scholarship Fund and COMPLETE MEETING MANAGEMENT.
When Tournament play concluded,
attendees spent the afternoon relaxing and catching up with old friends
and new friends. Later that evening, Golfers,
wives, children, Alumni
and guests gathered for a wonderful Buffet Dinner. Afterward, this
year's Tournament Winners were awarded the Schreiber Cup. Other prizes
were awarded to the day's top golfers. Words of appreciation were
bestowed on all who participated in this year's event, including
golfers, Business Sponsors,
Contributors and Alumni. During the Auction, attendees bidded
on everything from a "laughing cow" to David Robinson's shoes, worn during
Championship play.
Because of the generosity
of each participant, this Third Annual event raised $7,500.00 in scholarship
monies which will be awarded to John Jay students
graduating in May 2002.
Your participation is still
needed, as it is the goal of the Fund to provide as many scholarships as
possible. Out of town Alumni and Friends may
participate by providing
Auction Items for future events, or by sending a tax-deductible cash contribution
to the Fund.
THANK
YOU for caring.... and for your desire to make a difference in the
lives of these young people!

A WORD FROM
OUR
TOURNAMENT CO-SPONSOR
COMPLETE
MEETING MANAGEMENT:
Complete
Meeting Management (CMM) is a business that began almost five years
ago on the wings and prayers of Wendy Ballard and Maureen Concklin.
The company provides services for planning meetings and events. The
company works with its clients on everything from locating a city and hotel
for the event, inviting and registering guests, making air and hotel arrangements,
selecting menu choices, and coordinating audiovisual needs. The services
are "soup to nuts" or any part in between. Now, with a staff of fourteen,
CMM has been able to increase both the number and type of events conducted
over the years, with approximately 100 events in 2001.
As a result of that growth,
CMM has been very proud to be involved in the John Jay HOPE scholarship
tournament. As individuals, the founders of CMM possess very generous
attitudes, and that simply shines through with the charity of the company.
And the HOPE program is a wonderful opportunity for CMM to provide something
that feels substantial, since the money contributed can make such an impact
on an individual. The goal does not need to be millions of dollars
in order for it to be meaningful. $500, $1,000, or $1,500 to a graduating
high school student can be a tremendous boost in finances and in enthusiasm.
And that enthusiasm and excitement is contagious! What a small price to
pay for that kind of impact. How often do you get to be part of an
"investment" that "returns" those results? CMM has been able
to be a part of it for three years, and plans to continue into the future.
Thank you for letting us
be a part of the good work that you do for the students of John Jay High
School. We feel a tremendous benefit from it too!
