SUMMER
at HELP GIVE HOPE!!
Warm weather, shorts, t-shirts, long days, swimming, bar-b-ques, golf, smell of fresh cut grass and so much more. Yet, some will say it's also the time for flies, mosquitoes, heat & humidity, sunburn, drought, high utility costs and kids everywhere! Ok, so nothing's perfect.
Well, we at Help Give Hope (HGH) think Summer rocks! We're excited that our first major charity garage sale of the year is this weekend (see below for details) which means the warehouse is busting at the seams with merchandise and our staff and army of volunteers are making last-minute preparations. And our garage sale season is far from over!
Planning for The Longest Table (August), our charity golf tournament (September) and, of course, our annual Christmas Project (Sept. - Dec.) are on-going. And new this year: our property is now protected with a state-of-the-art security fence and an A/C system is currently being installed in the warehouse.
However fun, important, and necessary fundraising may be, ultimately it is but a means-to-an-end which allows us to maintain and grow our on-going, never-ending work with families-in-crisis throughout Greene, Christian and Webster counties. We can never say enough about the selflessness of our HGH family of supporters who give so generously of their time and resources. And our amazing army of volunteers who work nearly year-round to make it all happen.
Enjoy this wonderful time of year, stay safe and healthy! Come see us at the garage sale!
P.S. We have a major update on Tiger Woods (see Tiger Update below)

IT'S TIME FOR OUR FIRST MAJOR
GARAGE SALE OF 2023!
This Friday and Saturday, June 10th & 11th
The warehouse is absolutely packed and ready for the first major sale of 2023! Thank you to all who so generously provided top quality donations. Brad has put some serious miles on our multiple pick-up vehicles while our garage sale army of volunteers have been working tirelessly collecting, sorting, pricing and placing items throughout the warehouse.
NOTE: We will begin accepting donations again Wednesday, June 14th. PLEASE call Murray at 417-209-7027 and she will arrange pick-up.
IMPORTANT UPDATE: We are once again accepting clothing!
It’s important we know what we are getting so we know how many people to send, what vehicle works best and the best time for everyone. Please note, there are items we don’t take— Mattresses (for legal reasons), office desks, entertainment centers, Box TV’s, China Cabinets, but for the most part we are flexible.
It is never our intention to look picky or selective. If we can’t use it, we most likely will have options we can offer you. Remaining 2023 sale dates are listed below and we’d love to have your items or have you volunteer with us. Just let us know!

We love donations of appliances but please be accurate with their condition. Appliances are given to families in need. There is nothing worse than giving an appliance that does not work properly. We do not wish to appear presumptuous and we sincerely appreciate each and every donation but when we are unable to sell an item, often we must pay to have it removed. We just wish to be more efficient and cost effective.

TIGER UPDATE
GREAT NEWS!!!!
To my complete surprise, Tiger recently invited me to join him in Florida for a quick round of golf (see picture) and to discuss his possible appearance at the 24th Annual ARRIS PIZZA/PAUL ZURFLUH Charity Golf Tournament (Monday, September 18th - mark your calendars!).
Let me address first the fact several people (like just about everyone) have questioned the authenticity of the above photo...that I really didn't meet Tiger...that it is (gasp!) nothing more than a photoshopped picture! Seriously, do you really think I would stoop to such shameful self-promotion? I can't tell you how hurtful it is that my 'friends' question my budding friendship with Tiger. Shame on all of you!!
Well, back to my story (which, of course, is true)...it was quite the day...two old war horses playing golf and discussing the glory days. He talking about his 15 majors and 82 tour victories and me sharing riveting stories about my time in college basketball and post-college racket ball, slow-pitch softball and golf. You should have seen it, he was literally on the edge of his seat as I relived with him each of the nine points I scored across my 3 year college career. You can't make this stuff up. It was one heavyweight to another. Mano a Mano. I even shared how I won the 'B' flight Senior Club Championship in 2021 at Twin Oaks CC. Of course, half the field withdrew because of Covid but a win is a win (I have my little plastic cup to prove it).
I did make official our offer of up to two nights at the Comfort Suites in Ozark, all you can eat at Arris Pizza and a practice round at Twin Oaks at the special member guest price. Was also willing to purchase for him a ticket on Greyhound but he said something about having his own plane (yeah, right).
Now it's time to sit back and wait as he mulls over our offer. As with most great athletes, Tiger no doubt has an inflated ego so, for obvious reasons, I felt it best to let him beat me when we played. It's not easy, when you have a razor sharp game like mine, to intentionally hold back...to purposely mishit shots and miss easy putts. Because I absolutely never do that otherwise. But it was for the greater cause. I'm very generous like that. And humble. Besides, it's all for the kids.
Stay tuned.
