Eighth annual event again benefits The Senior Source

Corporate Sponsors Legend Sponsors Tournament photos The 8th Annual TIAA Charity Golf Tournament raised $23,365 for The Senior Source, an organization that is dedicated to improving the quality of life for senior citizens in the North Texas area. On Monday, September 17, some 50 golfers turned out for a rain-delayed outing to enjoy good golf weather. For the first time in eight years, the tournament had to be postponed because of rain. Originally scheduled for September 10th at the Waterview Golf Club in Rowlett, Texas, monsoon rains forced a change in the date and resulted in several golfers having to miss the event.

Tourney Co-chairs Courtney Miller and Max Post presented the check representing the proceeds to Molly Bogen, Executive Director of The Senior Source. In accepting the contribution, Molly commented on the importance of the TI Alumni group to The Senior Source over the past several years, and cited programs which are helping seniors remain in their homes with assistance from The Senior Source.

Max praised the efforts of TI retiree volunteers who helped in raising funds for the tournament and assisted with logistics on game day, and for all the TI Retirees who mailed in donations. He also cited the work of Courtney Miller, his wife Dee, and daughter Margaret Eckert for their support. He also thanked Bies Van Biesen, a recent TI retiree, who was a first-time volunteer and was a big help at the tournament.

Courtney thanked the golfers for their contributions and asked their inputs for next year’s tournament. He also recognized the tremendous support by TIAA Administrator, Jessica Stewart, and Sandy Landers of The Senior Source, in making the tournament a success.

Texas Instruments and the Texans Credit Union received special recognition for generously underwriting the tournament costs so all donations could go directly to The Senior Source.

The TIAA would like to thank all those, golfers as well as non-golfers, who contributed and helped raise more than $22,300.

The winning teams were:

• First Place: Ted Graves, James Banse, Mark Webster, Andrew Astudillo
• Second Place: C. B. Lee, Charles Anderson, Dale Pescatrice, John Robinson
• Third Place: Walter Bonner, Richard Bonner, Willie Neal

Golfers were also recognized for the following accomplishments:
