Note from Marty Lewis

The following is from an email I received regarding Marty Lewis. He is reaching out to his Jaycee Family. Please keep him in you thoughts and contact him with words of support if possible.

"It will be on July 1st. Maybe you could let some of the other old Jaycee friends know. I feel a little uncomfortable telling everyone myself. It has been caught early and my prognosis is favorable. The cancer is local in my prostate. But the doctor recommended that I just have it removed. I will not be able to drive for 2 or 3 weeks. I will be out of work for 7 weeks. I should only have to stay in the hospital overnight after the surgery. After I have recover some after three or four weeks, I would like to see some people I haven't seen in a long time. And you can pray for me. My cell number is 965-7848."

2010 Public Links Championship

"Green Coaters,

As many of you know, both Jim Betts and I serve on the Bryan Park Golf Commission. Bryan Park will host the 2010 United States Amateur Public Links Championship next month (July 12-18). We have been asked to co-chair the transportation section of the tournament and would like to have some help from our fellow Green Coaters and Old Timers.

We need help starting on Thursday, the 8th, and running through Saturday the 18th. As the week progresses, the field is greatly reduced so the demand also decreases for courtesy transportation. Drivers will get to drive one of the SUVs donated by Black Chevy/Cadillac. The primary routes driven will be from the Airport to the Marriott (and back) and from the Marriot to Bryan Park (and back).

If you would like to help Jim and I, please go to the Bryan Park website (http://www.bryanpark.com/apl/volunteer.html) and sign-up as a volunteer. Please select transportation as your area of interest.

Thank you for your help.
Sincerely,
Jim Betts (ebetts8954@triad.rr.com) and Kevin W. von der Lippe (kevin.vonderlippe@capital.org)"
