2021 Golf Brochure & Registration
This December, we presented $15,000 to Scott Jones, Executive Director of the Tiny House Community Development, Inc. for the JM Green Hay Street Community. The money was raised from the Elks’ Annual Andy Albertson & Steven Hall Memorial Charity Golf Tournament held in the late fall at Holly Ridge Golf Links. The Tiny House Community Development, Inc. mission is to build tiny houses and develop tiny home communities. THCD intent is to work alongside those experiencing homelessness, veterans and displaced individuals. This influx of money will help finish three houses at the Hay Street Community that THCD is building for homeless veterans. Jones, also said “This new funding has also launched our efforts to renovate our Veteran’s Community office on 507 Smith Street. We are super excited to be able to move forward. These generous funds from the golf tournament will help us start the process of building the facility to help veterans throughout Guilford County and surrounding counties. When completed, it will have six tiny houses for single individual veterans and two assisted living houses with two or three bedrooms in each house. Our goal is to hire CNAs or RNs that can be there on site to work with certain veterans with mobilities and disability issues. As we build, we try to help as many area veterans as possible. The High Point Elks Lodge and golf tournament has made a really big impact in our nonprofit organization and we hope to be good stewards of this donation.” The 8th Annual Andy Albertson & Steven Hall Memorial Charity Golf Tournament was so successful due to the many volunteers, 32 teams of golfers, sponsors and donations given to the tournament plus the preliminary silent auction fundraiser. Next year’s tournament is slated for November 5th. Details to follow. For more information or to participate in the tournament, please call 336-869-7313. – Deanna Vernon (Committee Chair)
