Sponsors Help Make
PTF'S 2nd Annual Golf Tournament
Held June 7th
at the
Spring Valley Golf Club in Elizabeth
A Huge
Success
Picture Album

All of the volunteers at PTF would like to send a heartfelt thanks to
all of the wonderful golfers and sponsors who helped us make our second
annual golf tournament a huge success.
PTF's all volunteer force does wonderful work in the communities of
Parker, Elizabeth and Franktown for our neighbors in need. But we cannot
do it alone. This kind of an effort truly shows what a group of
committed people in a community can do to make life a little better for
everyone.
We don't have a list of all of our golfers but just take a look at the
list of heroes below and we are sure you will agree that all of these fine
folks deserve a tremendous Thank You!!
Of course we would be remiss if we didn't also thank the one sponsor of
our effort that made everything possible. Justin Cirbo and all of the
staff at
Spring Valley Golf Club
went above and beyond to help PTF make
this event special. Their organizational skills, flair for presentation
and overall "niceness" can't be beat.
All we can say is we very much look forward to seeing you all again next
year!!

The 2010 Thanksgiving Program Was
A Huge Success
The Parker Task Force for Human Services conveys a tremendous thank
you to the citizens of the greater Parker area who donated food and
made monetary contributions to the annual Thanksgiving meal project.
The project was a huge success thanks to everyone who contributed
including area churches, schools, clubs, neighborhood groups and
individual families.
The Parker Task Force provided complete Thanksgiving meals to 400
families and Thanksgiving turkeys to an additional 500 families.
We distributed food baskets first to the client families of the
Parker Task Force. But due to the tremendous number of donated
food baskets, we assisted several other programs with Thanksgiving
food donations, including the Women’s Crisis and Family Outreach
Center, the Elizabeth Food Bank, the Elbert Food Bank, Denver Inner
City Parrish, and Warriors in Transition at Fort Carson.

Cherokee Trail Elementary Student Council organized a Thanksgiving Dinner
Food Drive. During those five days, the school was able to
collect enough food to provide 49 complete dinner baskets to
families in Parker. Then six families along with the assistant
principal, Shanna Martin, delivered all the meals on Sunday.

The
people of Newday Seventh Day Adventist donated 71 Thanksgiving
baskets.

Youth from
Providence Presbyterian Church annually help with the
distribution of Thanksgiving Baskets. They are energetic and
agreeable to take on any task assigned to them, including
compacting the cardboard recycling bin as shown in the
photo.

Like so many
caring Parker families, Ted and his daughters brought a
Thanksgiving basket to the Task Force and are shown here
along with Co-Chairman Steve of the Task Force.

The youth from
Parker United Church of Christ volunteered at the Task Force
helping with Thanksgiving baskets and also donated baskets
to the very successful project.

On behalf of all of the volunteers at the Parker Food
Bank, we are grateful for the support from our neighbors and
friends. Thanks to this community’s compassion, we are
able to provide the helping hand to client families in need.
More importantly, the client families tell us they
appreciate the support.
Sincerely,

This production will be family friendly, with all ages needed to create
the show. Everyone (babies, grandparents, parents, adults, teens,
college kids, etc.) who auditions, gets in! Families can still take
their vacations, as long as you can be there the week of the show. We’ll
rehearse 3 evenings a week and not everyone will be called for every
rehearsal. We want this to be FUN!!!
There will be a
participation fee to offset the cost of production, costume rentals and
other such expenses. The fee will be $30 for individuals, with $10 extra
for each additional family member. No more than $50 will be charged for
a single family. If this fee prevents you from participating, please let
us know. We don’t want to lose anyone because of the fee. All proceeds
from the show, after expenses, will go the Parker Task Force.
Auditions
are June 2nd and 3rd from 6:00 - 8:30 at Parker United Methodist
Church on Parker Road . Prepare a 30 second song if you want to be
considered for a solo. And read – if you want a line. Otherwise,
just come and be a part of the citizenry of River City.
Performance
dates are set for July 29th, 30th, and 31st.

Third Annual
502 Poker Run & Benefit
Sunday May
2nd, 2010 |
 |
We felt the rumble and heard the roar that can only come from hundreds of
motorcycles getting ready to roll for a good cause. This May
2nd, PTF hosted the
3rd Annual Poker Run. The event proved to be a success, raising money for the individuals struggling to purchase food and
household necessities. Everything raised in the event was donated.
On
behalf of PTF, we would like to thank our sponsors – Mile High Harley
Davidson and Buffalo Boyd’s – for assisting in the creation of the Poker
Run. We would also like to thank the local businesses of Parker and
surrounding areas who generously donated certificates and merchandise to
the Run
and those who were able to attend.
We owe the success of this event to all of you.

Holiday Helper!
Tagawa Gardens is hosting a fundraiser for PTF from 11/18/2010 and
12/19/2010. If you present a card (available at PTF) at the
time of purchase a percentage of your purchase will be given to PTF.
Please come by and pick up cards for yourself, friends, families and
neighbors. Tagawa Gardens is a fun place to shop for holiday
needs and gifts.
A Season Of Sharing And Caring
The weather has
turned crisp, perhaps some would say cold, and we're thinking
warm thoughts of Autumn's bounty. Halloween is (yikes) just
around the corner. The volunteers at Parker Task Force are
already planning for all of the big events in November.
On Saturday, November 13th PTF will host
the 9Cares Colorado Shares winter drive. The drive will
be held from 7 am until 4 pm at the two Parker King Sooper
stores, WalMart, Sprouts and the PTF location at 20118 East
Mainstreet. This is the only food drive at which we
collect gently used toys and clothing in addition to food
and cash donations. This drive is a critical jump start to our
"harvest season" that allows us to sustain our services
throughout the summer months when donations typically fall off.
Please come out to support this drive, and if possible,
volunteer to help collect, sort or serve as a driver on that
day.
Thanksgiving, with all of the associated
festivities, comes up next. For some, it isn't quite as festive
as it could be. When you are struggling just to provide the
basic necessities, a Thanksgiving special dinner is just too big
a stretch. Therefore, on Sunday, November 21st we will be
collecting Thanksgiving food baskets in the morning and
distributing them to client families in the afternoon. For some
families, this is the only way that their families will enjoy a
happy holiday meal.
If you would be interested in donating, or
volunteering in any capacity, please call 303-841-3460.
Thank you for helping those in
our community who so desperately need you at this time.
