Over 40 golfers met at Rob Roy Golf Course on a gorgeous spring day for 18 holes of golf. Each hole had numerous sponsors who paid $100 for their sponsorships. The beautiful day concluded with a delicious Western buffet and a live auction.
In the end, the event raised over $13,000 for the Safe House. These funds will help to maintain the utilities and other basic costs of the house for one year. Additional funds will need to be raised to pay for the food and basic needs of the students, but the generosity of the donors, golfers, and dinner guests will keep the doors open for another year.
The Safe House has housed 38 teens over the past two years and currently has four young residents. Three of these residents are graduating from high school – something that very well might not have occurred had the Safe House not been available.
These teens and everyone involved in the Safe House would like to thank the following donors for their generosity: A & B Collision, Rich and Pat Adams, Lynn Andre, Gary Bagnani, Martha Bakerjian, Henry and Bernice Bartolucci, Baughn and Cameron, Aggie Berry, Fred and Lisa Bowe, Braito’s Marina, Braito’s Riviera Foods.

We live on the lake in Lakeport, and last Saturday morning the east wind was stirring up huge breakers, beating up our ski boat which was tied up to our dock.
Even though all docklines had held and fenders were out, the boat had been banging around all night and the wind was getting stronger.
We went to Hillside Honda to buy new, larger fenders, and the owner Paul Breunig was in his office.
I asked him if one of his service men could pull our boat out of the water since the high winds were projected to last a couple more days (my son's truck was not available).
He said he'd do it himself ... Within minutes, he picked up our trailer while my husband drove the boat to the Fifth Street ramp, and in about 15 more minutes, the boat was parked in front of my house, greatly relieving my state of mind.
And he refused to let me pay anything for this service.
Thanks, Paul, we really appreciate your kindness.
