The Whetstone Boys Ranch is a great ministry here in rural Mountain View.  They serve local and out-of-state at-risk boys age 12-17.  I want to do my part to financially support this ministry.

This is the second year for me to be on a golf "team" at the Whetstone 100.  Our team is named "Old Pirates".  The other team member is Larry David.  We were both Mountain View Pirates back before our high school consolidated. 

Whetstone is always a good program to support.  You may not have heard about the tornado that hit the ranch and neighboring farms on April 3rd.  Several out-buildings and many trees were lost.  And the residence, althought still standing, was uninhabitable.

Good progress is being made on the building, but there is still much to do.  Roof and windows were the first priority.  Now the interior needs to be put back together.

The Old Pirates are going to try to play 50 holes of golf on June 20.  We are asking financial support to the ranch through pledges of a certain amount per hole.  For example, a pledge of $1 per hole would be a donation of $50.  However, you can give any amount you choose.  The Whetstone goal for this fund-raiser is $50,000.

Since the event is on June 20th we need to hear from you soon if you would like to donate.  You can donate on this website.  Or you can mail a check made out to Whetstone Boys Ranch to me at P.O. Box 635, Mountain View, MO  655848.

At risk boys need our help to get their lives back on track.  Thanks for considering this request.
