Volleyball Tournament 8/23/08 to Benefit the Hope Center for Children
An outdoor coed volleyball
tournament to raise funds for the Hope Center for Children, a facility
of the House of Hope, will be held Saturday, August 23, 2008 beginning
at 9:00 a.m. at Big Cottonwood Regional Park, 4300 South 1300 East in
Salt Lake City. The event is sanctioned by the Utah Outdoor
Volleyball Association (UOVA), and will be in the reverse coed doubles
and reverse coed 4 on 4 formats. According to Utah Alcoholism Foundation Board of
Trustees member Michael Hughes, Chairman of the event, “only grass
courts will be utilized for this tournament, and the reverse coed
format allows the women players to really show their skills.”

Team check-in for
the tournament will begin at 7:30 a.m. on the day of the event.
Pre-registration entry fee will be $15 per person for UOVA members,
$20 per person for non UOVA members. Day-of registration fees will be
$20 per person for UOVA members, $25 per person for non-UOVA members.
Prizes will be awarded to all First, Second, and Third place teams in
each of six skill levels

This event is made possible by the
generosity of our sponsors including Resource Management, Inc. (RMI), Stein Eriksen Lodge,
The Anniversary Inn, and Boondocks Fun Center. Sponsorships for the House of Hope Benefit
Bash are available, and prizes for the players and food and drinks are
especially needed. Your cash and in-kind donations are fully
tax-deductible. All proceeds from the event will benefit the Hope
Center for Children, a non-profit developmental day treatment program
for the children whose mothers attend the House of Hope (SLC).
Volunteers are also needed for this event. For more information,
please contact Kelly at 801-487-3276, extension 1213, or email

Windermere Real Estate Provides Service for House of Hope (SLC)
On June 13th,
the entire staff of Windermere Real Estate-Utah’s Park City and Salt
Lake City offices converged at the House of Hope’s (SLC) South
Temple and I Street facilities to provide a day of community
service. The Windermere Foundation provided a monetary donation of
$1,489 to purchase materials for the outdoor project.

Windermere staff on the job!
We were
overwhelmed by the group’s generosity and how very many tasks they
were able to accomplish – including painting, cleaning, mowing,
edging, trimming, and planting. The team assembled and added new
benches, backyard fence privacy slats, a gas barbecue grill, and a
beautiful new light fixture.
Windermere staff
install privacy strips in fence.
The mothers and children of the House
of Hope (SLC) are especially excited about the barbecue grill.
Thanks to the Windermere Foundation and the many hard working
volunteers from Windermere Real Estate-Utah, the House of Hope I
Street and South Temple residences look fantastic!

Work is well under way
