48th Annual Memphis Handicappers Golf Tournament
The 48th Annual Memphis Handicappers Golf Tournament was held at the Memphis Country Club on Monday, May 7. The weather was perfect as 104 golfers enjoyed lunch before they hit the fairway to play on one of the most coveted golf courses in the Mid-South.
Unfortunately, no one hit the Hole-in-One on #10 to win a 2007 Toyota Camry courtesy of Robinson Toyota but Ronnie Cooper, Michael Lightman, John Dicken, and Ron Olson all won prizes for Closest to the Pin. Danny Williams was the winner of the Sam Cooper Memorial Putting Contest sponsored by the Family of Sam Cooper.

The big winner of the day was Harwood Center which will benefit from the generosity of all involved. The sold-out event was the most successful to date, raising $40,000 to support the programs and services provided to children and their families by Harwood Center.

Harwood Center Celebrates 50 Years!
|
Anniversary to focus on awareness.
In its 50 year history, Harwood has evolved from its simple beginning in 1957. It has grown from a part-time day care program into a year round comprehensive program serving over 100 children ages birth to three annually. Its students, with diagnoses such as Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, visual and hearing impairments, spina bifida, and autism spectrum disorders receive individualized educational services through Harwood’s center-based, community-based, and in home programs.
The yearlong celebration began with a birthday party at 10:00 a.m. on January 23 at Harwood Center, 711 Jefferson Avenue. Board members, alumni, current children and families, funders and community leaders have been invited to attend.
The focus of the yearlong 50th anniversary celebration will be raising community awareness of the importance of early intervention and of the availability of early intervention services in our community, including those at Harwood Center. In our community, the full social and economic benefits of early intervention are not being achieved and needs remain unmet. Last year over 2000 children in the Mid-South that should have received early intervention services were never identified.
Other activties planned include:
- Unveiling a new website and DVD
- 48th Annual Memphis Handicappers Golf Tournament
- Recognition of partners in the community
- Children’s holiday party
For more information regarding the 50th anniversary or early intervention services, please contact Harwood Center at 901-448-6580.
