Firewood Donation

  Over the winter we do so many projects that I sometimes forget that some of our work has real meaning outside of the club.  As part of our tree removal project, we generated a LOT of firewood, far more than we would use in a season.  Onifer Wilmoth our fitness director, put me in contact with Eddie Wells and Leonard Holden of the Jackson County Department on Aging.  As part of Project Fire, these gentlemen along with many volunteers provide firewood to the elderly who struggle to heat their homes during the winter.

Our staff loaded 10 dump truck loads of firewood.
  I was reminded of the donation of firewood because I just received this letter from the Jackson County Department On Aging thanking the members of Highlands Falls Country Club.  It's nice to know that some of our projects on the course have a far greater reach than just the boundaries of Highlands Falls.
