S.A.V.E.S the Day introduces a new

Fundraising event

 

 

Putt for Life

&

       Support All Volunteer Emergency Services” 

 

Because helping each other is so important, S.A.V.E.S. the DAY, has designed an event

to support our Emergency Services and

your business with one exciting, fun filled event.

          “Putt for Life”

      Saturday, June 13th,

   at 12:00 Noon

      

The S.A.V.E.S. organization is committed to helping the Meadows Valley Ambulance Service and Fire Department.  For the 2009 fund raiser, we are hosting a sporting event that will not only help our Emergency Services but also help our local businesses. The economy is challenging and businesses have been hit hard.  Keeping our Volunteer Emergency Services up to date with equipment and trained volunteers remains an important concern for our community.  S.A.V.E.S. is dedicated to meeting these concerns. 

 

 Our goal for this event is to offer a fun day that will raise necessary funds for our Emergency Services and also enlighten Valley residents on the wealth of services, products and merchandise that are available right here in the Meadows Valley.  

 

Each business will be provided a basic putting green that you can decorate according to the yearly Theme.   This year the theme is, “4 Legged Friends of Meadows Valley”. Each player will visit your business to play and give you the opportunity to promote your business.  Scores will be kept and prizes will be awarded at the annual S.A.V.E.S the Day dinner held at the Emergency Service Building that evening.  

 

Be creative when designing your putting green, keeping safety and accessibility in mind.  Using recycled materials is always a great idea and don’t forget to incorporate the annual theme.  While the real goal of this event is to raise funds for our volunteers, we hope the result is a day filled with fun and laughter while learning more about our community’s businesses.

 

Players will vote for the best of the following venues & the winner will win a fabulous (as yet undefined) prize.

*      Most Creative

*      Most Environmentally sustainable

*      Best representation of theme

*      Most Fun

 

Design and Construction Guidelines

 

·         S.A.V.E.S. can provide you with a 3 X 8ft. putting green, or you can design and construct a quality green for your event.  Please take care of the greens because they will be used each year.

·         Considerations on placement of your green:  Does the traffic pattern emphasize the promotion of your business?

·         Safety Considerations:  S.A.V.E.S. is unable to provide insurance for structural damage or personal liability. 

·         Remember you will have enthusiastic club-wielding patrons of all ages playing golf.

·         This year’s Theme is “4 Legged Friends of Meadows Valley”.   Decorate your green and add any obstacles (sand traps, water hazards, etc.).  Design your green to be more fun than difficult and able to play in 15 minutes or less.

On December 3rd, SAVES the DAY, Inc. hosted the 2nd Annual Holiday Appreciation Happening for the Meadows Valley Emergency Service Volunteers.  The combined Fire and Ambulance Volunteers along with their families enjoyed an evening of celebration with dinner at the Meadows Valley School.  Several Board Members from the Meadows Valley Ambulance Service, SAVES the DAY, Inc. and commissioners from the Meadows Valley Rural Fire Protection District were also present.  Karen Kelly, McCall Hospital Administrator, gave a presentation of the proposed McCall Hospital Expansion to start the evening event.  Larry Peterson, Fire Commissioner and SAVES the DAY, Inc. Board Member announced that the Fire District received a grant from the Payette Scenic By-Ways to fund a canopy building for the 1948 Ford Fire Truck.  Certificates and plaques of appreciation were awarded to the volunteers by EMS Chief Mac Qualls and Fire Chief Jeff Luff.  4 new volunteers for Meadows Valley Ambulance were introduced. 

Following the recognition of the volunteers, SAVES the DAY, Inc president Sue Schaffer announced the purchase of major equipment from the proceeds of the annual fundraising event in June.  The purchase of hip splints, a support device for transport and treatment of hip fractures and the purchase of vehicle stabilization jacks used to stabilize vehicles during extrication for the safety of emergency personnel and the victims.  In addition, SAVES the DAY, Inc is funding the cost of training, background checks and final exams of four new Meadows Valley EMT recruits.

The evening finale was the presentation of reflective jackets to each volunteer.  New federal regulations require either yellow or green reflective jackets be worn by any responding personnel on our highway.  So with big smiles, the SAVES the DAY Board Members gave each volunteer a festive wrapped package with their names on it.  SAVES the DAY, Inc. President Sue Schaffer said “Look at the smiles in this picture, the joy in their eyes, the pride in their service to others, and now, the knowledge that we (the public) recognize and appreciate them for what they do.” This is truly what the SAVES the DAY community fundraising event is all about.
