FATHER’S DAY CELEBRATION AT HARBOR HILLS BY NIKKI HOFFMAN

Today we honor the fathers in our lives. They are the coaches, providers, protectors and spiritual guides. They are our fathers and grandfathers and their influence is profound.They set an example for their sons and start them on their life’s path. To their daughters, dads are their first love and frequent predictors of their future choices in life. To the stepfathers who stepped up when no one else was around, to the dads who are raising kids alone, we appreciate you. To the grandfathers and father figures who set us on a positive, caring and productive path, we appreciate you. Harbor Hills Country Club celebrates today with a special All You Care To Eat brunch featuring all of Dad’s favorites.For children in Foster care, guardians ad litem perform a special service. Through the advocacy of these trained volunteers, children’s best interests are represented during dependency court proceedings. The program is state-mandated and prohibited from fundraising. To fill this gap, Voices for Children step in. This 501(c) (3) organization creates special events to raise funds benefitting more than 2,250 children in our local counties.The state has removed the children from their homes for their protection. Compassion and help are needed now more than ever. Do you wish to make a difference? Have a speaker come to your organization, become a guardian ad litem volunteer, or make a tax-deductible donation.
