Sponsors - The Wesley Communities

The 6th Annual Wesley Glen/Wesley Ridge Charity Golf Classic took place on Monday, July 13th at the Pinnacle Golf Club in Grove City, Ohio. The event raised more

than $121,000 for Hospice Services at Methodist ElderCare and Wesley At Home--the highest ever for the event. Thanks to our event title sponsors: Corna Kokosing Construction Company and FirstMerit Bank.

The tournament brought in 34 teams consisting of 136 golfers. Though the inclement weather forced the golfers off the course after playing 12 holes, the dinner and auction continued with much enthusiasm. A special thank you goes out to Rod Spittle, PGA Senior Golf Professional, who donated his time to join us for the day.

“We are thrilled to have hosted such a successful event that provides resources for providing

excellent care to Columbus-area seniors and our residents,” commented Peg Carmany, CEO of Methodist ElderCare Services. “We look forward to continuing with this event year after year,” she continued.

The highlight of the day was the “Ladies Tee Challenge” where male golfers, for a fee, could hit from the ladies’ tee if they dressed in women’s clothing. Female golfers could move up on their tee as well if they donned men’s clothing. Our pictures speak for themselves!

Mary LeMaster, Tournament Director, said, “We are so grateful for the support of our sponsors, players, volunteers and Methodist ElderCare Services’ residents and staff who helped make this event not only possible, but very successful. Since 2010, we have raised approximately $513,000! We hope for another great year in 2016.”

We exceeded our goal of $15,000...raising a total of $20,434!During our wrap-up celebration we enjoyed lunch, a few swings of the putter, and outrageously good cream puffs. The cream puff eating contests were the highlights of the day! Kudos to Dave Swartz for winning the first round, and to Phil VanWalsen for winning the second round -- against a bunch of girls! And, congratulations to the competition winners.We are immensely proud of our Wesley Glen family of employees! And we are proud to forward these funds to our beloved

residents to enhance their quality of life. It feels good to give back to them... they give so much to us every single day.

The Guild at Wesley Glen held its first fundraiser for 2015: the “Taste of Derby” celebration on Saturday, May 2nd.

Approximately 70 guests enjoyed great Derby food prepared by Wesley Glen’s Dining Services, including the traditional Derby pie and cool Mint Juleps. Contests were held for the “Best Dressed” and “Most

Creative Hat.” Raffle tickets were sold and Derby prizes awarded to the winners. The highlight of the event was watching the Kentucky Derby on the large screen and cheering for our favorite horses. There were also several silent auction items offered. Emcee Mark Palmer rounded up a group of kazoo players and led a delightful rendition of “My Old Kentucky Home.”

Save the DateThe next fundraiser for

the Guild will be “Pancakes with Santa” on November 14th. Santa and Mrs. Claus will be present for

photographs and our Dining Services will be flipping pancakes for your enjoyment. Hope to see you there. Details coming in early November.
