Clover Farm Coverage O’Leary’s Clover Farm: A Daniel S. O’Leary Camp For Children With Diabetes   It Rained! It Poured! On May 10th, we were forced to postpone the 2003 Donley Brick Clover Farm Golf Classic due to inclement weather.  A new date has been set for Saturday, September 2oth.  A special thank you to all who came to show their support on the 1oth.  Although this was a huge disappointment for all those who worked so hard to make the event possible and for the golfer who came to brave the weather, the September event is shaping up to be even better. We will begin the day at Village Green Golf Club- Hickory, Pennsylvania, at 12 noon with golfer registration and a light snack.  There will be a 12:30 Putting Contest, hosted by Phillips & Faldowski Attorneys at Law followed by a 1pm shot gun start.  During the tournament the golfers will be able to participate in additional contests such as a Hole-In-One sponsored by CAM Financial and Washington Ford, and The Longest Drive Contest Sponsored by Key 4 Systems.  Immediately following the tournament there will be a Dinner Awards Gala with a Silent Auction. All of the individuals who registered for the May 10th event will automatically be registered for the September tournament and gala.  However, registration is still open.  We are still looking for approximately 60 golfers to fulfill our commitment with Village Green.  If you would like to register please visit our website or complete the enclosed registration form.  Many Washington, Pennsylvania businesses have generously sponsored our event.  The event’s title sponsor is Donley Brick Company.  Additionally, Hanson Brick, Marthinsen & Salvetti Insurance, Midrange Plus Services and River Valley Stone are business sponsors.  Other sponsorships include, CAM Financial, Mac Bracey Corporation, Walker McCartney Advisors, Nickels Bakery, Krency’s Bakery, Shop & Save, Cappelli’s Beverages, Key 4 Systems, Carpet Designs by Gilmore, Pioneer Motors, Accutrex, Curran’s Clubs, Buffalo Land, Phillips & Faldowski, Alba Stone Products, Humbert Lane.  Our 2003 Golf Polo Shirts are available for sale on our website www.olearyscloverfarm.org.   2003Annual Giving Campaign In March of 2002 we launched our fundraising campaign with a mailing to friends and family of Danny O’Leary.  Mailing to just over 100 people we raised over $7000.  This year with almost 300 Friends of O’Leary’s Clover Farm we hope to raise $10,000.  Although our 2nd Annual Campaign will formally be launched in September we have already received almost $3000 in donations.   Attention Virginia Volunteers On Monday, July 14th, we will hold our first volunteer open house in Northern Virginia.  The open house will be held at the Herndon Public Library at 6:30pm.  We will be discussing upcoming fundraising events such as a golf tournament, craft show, flower sale, Mommy Prom and Coin Drive.  Your attendance and support is critical to the success of upcoming events.  Please RSVP by July 7th to Cortney O’Leary Heykoop at 703-395-0860 or olearyscloverfarm@yahoo.com Charity Day Raspberry Falls Golf & Hunt Club   On Monday, October 20th, The Raspberry Falls Golf & Hunt Club of Leesburg, Virginia will host a charity golf day.  The club which is located in the foothills of the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains will donate a portion of the days profits to benefit O‘Leary‘s Clover Farm.  With its Scottish style stacked bunkers and spectaculars vistas, Raspberry Falls is ranked one of the Top 50 Courses in the United States and among the Top 10 in the Mid Atlantic.  Please see the enclosed flyer for more information.  Print Sale Continues Prints of Immaculate Conception Church by Daniel S. O’Leary are still available for sale.  The sale of the prints has raised over $500 to date.  A limited number of prints are still available.  If you would like to order a print please send a $75 donation plus $15 shipping to O’Leary’s Clover Farm, 46803 Sweet Birch Terrace, Sterling, Virginia, 20164.  Prints are also available for sale at Antiques Downtown (88 So. Main Street, Washington, Pennsylvania).  Christmas Basket Sale This winter O’Leary’s Clover Farm will hold a Longaberger Basket Fundraiser.  Catalogs will be mailed in early October in order for the items to be delivered in time for Christmas.  A portion of all sales will benefit O’Leary’s Clover Farm.    Looking for Land The Board of Directors continues to look for land upon which we will build O’Leary’s Clover Farm.  2002’s grant search was unsuccessful in raising enough capital to purchase the land, therefore we are increasingly more dependent on our fundraising efforts. The money raised from our 2003 golf events and the upcoming annual giving campaign this September will be used to make a down payment on land and hopefully hire a part time employee dedicated to furthering our fundraising efforts. We are currently exploring the possibility of purchasing land just across the Virginia border in Berkeley, West Virginia. This location will be in good proximity to both our Virginia and Pennsylvania bases.
