Cameron’s Veteran Assistance League held a golf tournament fundraiser August 4 at Mozingo Golf Course. Money raised provides enriching activities for veterans residing at the Cameron Veterans’ Home such as TV’s and sporting events tickets. State funding pays for food, clothing and facility staff, but does not provide money for life-enriching activities. The tournament raised about $5,000 last year. This year’s total has not yet been calculated. A meal was provided by the American Legion Post #100.

  • Jack Dinsdale, son of Erin and Travis Dinsdale, Maryville, organized his gear for tee-off on the Watson 9. Veterans in the Cameron home paid the admission fee of every participating child with funds acquired by recycling cans. They also gave each youth player a goody bag and provided them with a sack lunch.
  • The veterans’ singing group performed the National Anthem during opening ceremonies. Members present were, front: Brad Hook, Dr. Gerald Dennis, and Mishell Frazier; back: staff member Lloyd Heckman, Mary McCarty, volunteer Carolyn Scott, and Keith Kenyon. They were directed by Doug Rathbun.
  • Servicemen from Maryville’s National Guard 129 Artillery, Jesse Ramsey, Oregon, Nick Harris, Burlington Jct., Kermit Simmerman, Stanberry, and Bryce Wiederholt, Ravenwood, had the honor of bringing the colors.
  • Becky Wynne, Maryville, checked her shot. The tournament hosted 24 teams.
  • Mike Zech, Maryville, shook the hand of serviceman Aaron Hill, St. Louis, thanking him for his service. Hill is a specialist in Maryville’s National Guard 129 Artillery and held hole number nine’s flag which had been replaced with the American Flag.
