Robert Hester, Founder of BladenOnline.comSpringtime is like a new beginning for many volunteer efforts … Among my favorites is the Bladen We Care fundraising campaign. My records go back to the mid to late 90s. The golf tournament was named in honor of Mr. Byron Gooden, an avid golfer and a supporter of efforts related to helping folks going thru difficult times. This year, a couple of other names will be included, I will not get ahead of the efforts of many.

After time off due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all is go for the 2022 Bladen We Care Memorial Golf Tournament at VIneyard Golf near White Lake. This years date is Thursday, April 28, 2022. More info to come. The response has been very good. The needs are great, the team is ready. For more info, call 910-862-0779, 910-874-2008 or 910-862-8423, ext 274. All your questions can hopefully be answered … Donations are welcomed. You can mail donations to Bladen We Care, PO Box 1569, Elizabethtown, N.C. 28337.

When I hear someone say they are not feeling well … I think of my mom … She was a great believer, if you aren’t feeling well, probably need a laxative … Helps your memory as well.
