Taking a Chance on Tiskelwah
The Board has given a generous donation to the Tiskelwah Community Center on the West Side of Charleston. In return we received a reserved table at the Charleston Civic Center on Sept. 6th starting at 7pm. New WVU basketball coach Bob Huggins and his 3 top assistants will be speaking at the fund raiser/dinner about the importance of education in life. We'll also get an update on the WVU Basketball program.

The Tiskelwah Center serves as an anchor facility on the West Side to help out underprivileged children and families, and Senior Citizens with educational programs, health screenings, transportation and other important social services. All proceeds from the September 6 th fundraiser will be used for restoration and programs located at Tiskelwah.

Michael Keeney will sell $1 chances to get a seat at the table we reserved. For the price of a $1 ticket you may a winner. Michael begins the drawing this Wednesday morning. The community service committee recommended "that persons to attend the dinner would be determined by lottery. Members would get a ticket for $1 and then a ticket would be drawn from a separate bunch and that person would get two tickets." The drawing is scheduled for the following Wednesday.

Chase
Jennifer Willits gave birth to a 5 pound 13 ounce baby boy. He has been named Chase. Both Jennifer and her husband work for competing banks so they decided to diversify their son's portfolio further – hence Chase. Congratulations Jennifer, somehow we all get the logic you applied in naming the baby.

Speaker Notes

Dr. Saville introduced our speaker Dr. Evita Moshogy. Dr. Moshogy is a dentist and she talked about her involvement with an interfaith council made up of 8 different religious groups. The council was created several years ago and members go to elementary schools and talk about the importance of tolerance, values, honesty, and other important character lessons in an interesting and fun format tailored for kids to keep their attention while sending a much broader message. We thank her for sharing this important mission with us.

Upcoming Speaker

Join us this Wednesday when we hear from Sharon King, Executive Director of the Sternwheel Regatta about the upcoming week of festivities.
