Annual Family Picnic

The annual picnic July 23, 2009, was an evening of great food and fun. Families who participate in support groups at Lost & Found gathered with volunteers to enjoy an evening of relaxation and food. Board members Shawn Askinosie, John Gentry, Greg Huntsman, and Richard Walters grilled more than 100 hamburgers and brats.

Children enjoyed bounce houses donated by Amberg Entertainment and the Jones Family Y, as well as games directed by Y staff. The evening concluded with a balloon release in memory of loved ones.

Thanks to Springfield Grocers, Lost & Found Advisory Council members, and the ladies from Asbury United Methodist Church for donating food and drink. Thanks to our faithful volunteers for setting up, serving, and cleaning up.

A special thanks to Vivian who organized and coordinated the entire event!!

Lost & Found 2009 Charity Golf Tournament

Lost & Found's annual charity Golf Tournament was June 26 at Hickory Hills Country Club. Golfers were treated to a wonderful day of great food, drinks, golf, and fun in a 4-person scramble. After a day in the sun & heat on the course, golfers were treated to Duds 'n Suds on the terrace at Hickory, where wards were given for winners in each flight.

Thanks to presenting sponsor Joe Manzardo, Springfield Striping & Sealing, Ozarks Coca-Cola for providing drink products at various holes, and to all hole and team sponsors. We appreciate your support that helps us provide free grief support services to children.
