The fun begins at 9 a.m. with a shotgun start. The FAHA is made up of organizations through- out the community that strives to serve its members, its customers, its associates and the community. The Fayetteville Area Hospitality Association is a nonprofi t organization of committed businesses promoting tour- ism, social welfare and quality of life by improving the quality and variety of food, lodging and recreational areas for travelers and local residents in the Fayetteville area of North Carolina.” Falcon Children’s Home is just a short drive up I-95, and has been changing the lives of children for more than 100 years. The home was founded in 1909 as a small fa- cility designed to take care of children in the community. In 1909, there were two children who entered the doors. They wouldn’t recognize the home today. The campus has grown to almost 300 acres of property with eight cottages/halls, athletic fi elds, gymna- sium, large swimming pool, activity building (containing several classrooms, computer lab, library, skating rink and movie theater), administrative offi ces, lake and camping area, chapel and a central dining facility. Falcon Children’s Home is a ministry of the International Pentecostal Wiley’s Grille & Bar at the Holiday Inn Bordeaux. NFL Football game this season at Wiley’s! Catch every Kickin It Fit is a women only tness and wellness boot camp and has been going strong for over 2 years! “I just really felt the need to e-mail once again to say thank you! I sat down and looked at the results of my assessment sheet and I lost a total of 10.75 inches. I feel really great about that. I posted it on my mirror for motivation to remind me I have many more inches to go. Once again thanks to all of you!!!” Great work out this morning! Rebecca Smith, Fayetteville 910.816.9410 • www.kickinit t.com Holiness Church. Those working at the home take great pride in their Chris- tian ministry and strive to serve the mind, body, spirit and soul of each and every child that comes through the doors. Falcon offers several programs and approaches to help make kids in their care successful and happy, with pathways like independent living, on campus individual and family counseling, campus chaplain, recreation and activities, visiting resource program and after-school academic enrichment. Funds received from the golf tournament will be used for the Mothers and Babies program. “We are redoing one of the cottages that is going to house the mothers and babies,” said Marketing and Public Relations Director for Falcon Children’s home Michelle Williams. “We are unable to take the mom’s while they are pregnant. Once their babies are born, we take children from birth up. Since so many of the mom’s are teens we are able to take them in and their babies as well.” Once the moms and babies are at Falcon Children’s home they stay together in the cottage. “We make sure that the mom continues her education and we provide daycare for the babies so that she is able to do that,” said Williams. “We also help the moms with employ- ment and we work with them to teach them how to be good moms. This is really a great, great things for us to benefi t from this charity.” Lunch is included in the price and will be served after the tournament.
