VOLUNTEER OF THE YEAR
Jerry Longhofer
It has become a tradition, and the sale of the rocking horses has been very good. This year there were two people in a bidding war for the prize possession and when it reached a point, the two agreed to paying the price each if Jerry would make another, which he gladly did!
VOLUNTEER OF THE YEAR
Brent Betsworth
Four years ago Pheasant Heaven added to its growing list of fundraisers our Ringneck Open Golf Tournament. Since its inception, Brent has been on the planning and implementation committee, and has been the tournament chairman. He works very hard to have the course in immaculate shape, announces the rules and introduces any special guests. He is the first at the course in the morning, and among the last to leave after the players are gone and the flights and winners have been determined.
VOLUNTEER OF THE YEAR
Pheasant Heaven Benevolent Committee
This committee has been charged with the very difficult tasks of vetting needs, hearing and reading some of the most heart wrenching, real life tragedies, deciding who gets monies and who doesn’t, what is a real need and what is a want. I know how some of these situations affect these committee members, and it can be very emotionally challenging. Members of the 2013 Benevolent Committee are Tammy Slocum, Laurie Hull, Theresa Gerrond, Martin Daharsh, Gina Cash, Wayne Harrison, Cheryl Cox, C.W. Harper, Debi Peterson and Stu Moore.
