Landis Adult Day Services (ADS) will host its 31st annual Benefit Golf Outing on Friday, June 3, at Foxchase Golf Club, 300 Stevens Road, Stevens. The Golf Outing will have a scramble format with shotgun starts at 7:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. Food and drinks will be provided on the course as well as lunch or dinner after the round of golf. Participants are also eligible to receive prizes.
All proceeds from the event will support programming and scholarships for individuals who participate in the Landis ADS program. Landis ADS provides care for aging adults who have experienced life- and health-changing circumstances and need a safe, stimulating place to go during the day. Nurses, activity coordinators, and other professionals are on-site to provide care.
Among the participants at Landis ADS is Joel. Joel formerly drove a tractor-trailer, sometimes hauling loads from Florida to Canada, and he also collected cars. When he was 1,000 miles short of reaching 3 million miles of safe trucking, he encountered a health problem that resulted in the loss of his license. Joel was not coping well with being home as he missed working and the open road. Eventually, his wife found Landis ADS, and Joel began attending and making friends. While he still misses driving a tractor-trailer, at ADS, Joel can reminisce with new friends and create new memories in a fun, supportive environment.
Community members can join the golf outing as a golfer, patron, or sponsor at http://www.landisadultday.org/golf/. Golfers must register before Friday, May 6. For more information, contact Janice Nikoloff at jnikoloff@landis.org or 717-381-3580.
