"Girls Night Out"

The “Girls Night Out” fundraiser on December 1, 2011 at Harmony Hill in Union was a huge success! Ladies attending the event spent a night of getting pampered with massages, facials, and wax hand treatments while being treated to wine, hors d’oeuvres, pastries, ice cream and live music. On top of that they enjoyed an evening of shopping from an astonishing collaboration of local businesses. 

We would like to express our deep appreciation to Kathy Geist, owner of Better on You in Union, for orchestrating the event and for coming up with the idea. Kathy did a fabulous job of putting this wonderful event together to help raise money for Turning Pointe! 

Turning Pointe would also like to give a huge thanks to the following sponsors/contributors who helped make this such a successful event!

3rd Annual Golf Classic

Turning Pointe’s 3rd Annual Golf

Classic, held in July, raised $17,547.

That is just outstanding! A huge

shout-out to all the sponsors and volunteers

who made the event so successful.

Special thanks to Green Diamond,

Druzianich Foundation, and

Peninsula Credit Union as the main

tournament sponsors. Thanks also to

Mike and Judy Callaghan who were

the event organizers again this year.

Highlighting the day were the 11

army soldiers from Ft. Lewis, mostly

Special Forces and Rangers. One

soldier who couldn’t make it donated

his entrance fee and all have

agreed to come back for the 2012

event. A poignant moment came as

they went outside to have the picture

taken. It was explained to the people

at the luncheon who they were.

When the soldiers came back in,

everyone stood up and applauded.

The team of Thad Bamford, Miles

Silverthorn, Steve DeMiero and Brett

Lensch won 1st place for the third

year in a row. The team that had the

“most fun” consisted of Dan and

Brenda Stainbrook, Mona Anderson

and Dave Harris.

Plans have already begun for

next year’s event, to be held July 21,

2012, at Lake Limerick Golf Course.
