Good morning,
Today’s forecast for Whitewater calls for a mostly sunny day, with a high of eighty-three degrees.
Here’s a quick reminder that the Whitewater’s Bethel House Charity Golf Event is this Saturday, June 12th.
The proceeds from this fundraiser are used entirely to support Bethel House, an ecumenical project with six housing units for families in need of shelter and providing other support services in the Whitewater area. During the last fifteen years, Bethel House has provided 75 families with housing and helped many more families with financial assistance for rent or utilities, household items, food, or referral services.
This year’s Golf Event will be held on Saturday, June 12, 2010. The day’s special activities will include golf, lunch, prize drawing, and awards ceremony. Participating as a sponsor or golfer is very important to Bethel House. This major fundraiser helps cover the costs of operation. Your contribution, large or small, will help to make this a special day for Bethel House. Sponsors for the respective holes will have their names prominently displayed at the tee for the hole that they are hosting.
We are looking forward to a great day on the course with a 9:00 AM shotgun start using a best ball scramble format. This year’s event features a $10,000 Hole-In-One prize provided by Binning and Dickens Insurance, as well as many other hole prizes for the participants. Foursome prizes for 1st, 4th, 7th, & 11th place will also be awarded. Costs for this year’s event are $50 of which $19 is tax-deductible. Fees include the 9 holes of golf, many individual and team prizes, and buffet lunch….
The History Channel recalls that on this day in 1973, legendary thoroughbred Secretariat won the Triple Crown:
With a spectacular victory at the Belmont Stakes, Secretariat becomes the first horse since Citation in 1948 to win America’s coveted Triple Crown–the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness, and the Belmont Stakes. In one of the finest performances in racing history, Secretariat, ridden by Ron Turcotte, completed the 1.5-mile race in 2 minutes and 24 seconds, a dirt-track record for that distance.
Here’s footage of that victory:
