May 2007 Archive of News and MusingsSaturday, May 19, 2007 We started with beautiful weather, and though it turned a bit chilly and drizzly it was overall a wonderful day for golf. It was a scramble format tournament, where each player tees off and the team decides which shot to use. Each player then hits from that spot, with this continuing until someone on the team sinks the putt. Our winning team was "The Good Ole Boys". The day concluded with a delicious meal provided by the golf course, and lots of skill and random prizes being distributed. A special word of thanks is due to our sponsors: Hole Sponsors And a very special thanks to Josh Stroup, who not only serves as our Board President but is our Golf Tournament Coordinator Extraordinaire. Thank you Josh, sponsors, players and volunteers for another successful tournament as you help homeless single moms build a future with hope in Harrisburg! Some highlights from a beautiful day:

Thanks for your consideration. Posted by Steve Schwartz (5/10/2007 10:18:57 AM | link) Tuesday, May 08, 2007 Ray was a generous man who was a special friend of our ministry. He left a legacy of kindness and good works which are a testimony to his care and concern for the less fortunate. We thank God for the privilege of knowing him, and ask God to surround Ray's loved ones with comfort and healing at this time. Posted by Steve Schwartz (5/8/2007 8:34:54 PM | link) Monday, May 07, 2007 We recently had one days' worth of mail disappear from our office. It was in the typical incoming mail slot behind a locked door, and when a staff member returned to deal with the mail, it was gone. We do not know if the problem was due to theft or to some error on our part, but after extensive searching, the mail has not be found. The day it disappeared was Friday, April 27, so items mailed earlier that week may have been in the pile of mail that disappeared. If you mailed a donation during that week, you should have received a tax receipt by this time. If not, please contact me at (717) 233-6016 or sschwartz@bha-pa.org with the details of your donation and I'll confirm whether or not we received it. This is especially important for Mother's Day donations and Golf Tournament registrations as both of these events are fast approaching. We apologize for any inconvenience. A final word about mail delivery: While this instance is unique, we'd like you to be aware that we have been dealing with mail delivery problems on our street for over five years. On a regular basis, mail gets delivered to the wrong addresses (or, on rare occasions, lost) and our efforts to rectify the situation with the local post office have not been wholly successful. If at anytime you mail a donation and do not get a tax receipt within 7-10 days (though its typically quicker than that), please feel free to contact me and I'll confirm whether we did receive your donation. We appreciate your patience as we work on this frustrating issue. Grace and peace, Posted by Steve Schwartz (5/7/2007 5:05:22 PM | link) News and Musings Archive |
