Inaugural Angel Flight/Conine Clubhouse Golf Tournament June 10, 2013
Play with a celebrity! | |
Weeks away! Calling all golfers, sponsors and supporters!
Thanks to Mike Brady, GM of the Madison Green Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Fl and Jeff Conine of the Florida Marlins we are just weeks away from our inaugural golf tournament with these two charities. Players will have the chance to shoot a round of golf with a sports celebrity. The proceeds are being split to help Angel Flight Southeast continue its mission of "Arranging free flights for children & adults to have access to the far-from-home doctors that can save their lives" and the Conine Clubhouse, named in honor of World Series champion Jeff Conine and his family. The Conine Clubhouse opened in May 1997 to serve as a "home away from home" for families of children receiving medical care at Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital. Here, families can stay free of charge (based on availability) in a comfortable and nurturing environment. Since opening, the Conine Clubhouse has housed many families from across the United States and other countries. | |

Pilot and Board Member Alan Hoffberg:
12 year old AnnaRose acted as my "co-pilot" while flying to Gainsville. She requires a heart transplant and needs this periodic check-up as a potential recipient until a heart becomes available.
Mom told me Anne expressed, during their ride to the airport, she was frightened at the prospect of flying. This feeling disappeared when I took command at the airport.
Great job, AnnaRose. :-)
Pilots: Please send your photos via your smart-phones to: info@mercymail.org. We'll get them posted on our social networks so we get some additional PR.
Thank you for all of your time and energy.

| Volunteer opportunities: | |
Work-from-home phone opportunity: We need some volunteers to make calls to our social workers in the 644 healthcare facilities in our region. This is a critical function! This is one of the best ways for our passenger-patients to find out about our services. We need to update our list, educate the social workers of our fantastic service and send them our shiny new tri-fold brochures which will be printed soon.
We got three! Thank you to Carla, Andrea (Aubrey's Mom) & Mike Winter
