EARC Putt Putt Golf

The resident’s of Jacob’s Village were invited out for a night of pizza & miniature golf Monday, July 31, 2006. Community Job Link & Community Connections are branches of EARC, who sponsored this event at Walther’s Golf-n-Fun Center from 5:00pm to 7:00pm at the intersection of 1st & Diamond Ave’s. When Debbie and Michael arrived back home from work about 4:15pm, via METS, it was time to load up and head out to the Pizza Party. All of the Jacob’s Village bunch, Wanda, Donna Kay, Debbie, Mike, Michael, Scott, and home coordinators Gloria and Joe entered the building to a sound and light show. We were greeted to an array of bells, whistles, and lights of many colors coming from the video arcade. The cashier at the counter area showed us where the Pizza Party was to be held. It was in a private party room, and we were the first ones inside seeing the 7 or 8 tables and chairs empty, but it filled up quickly. There were about 36 people in attendance for this July Job Club event and everyone did find a place to sit in the party room which included Rudi Winderlich and Crystal Delancey representing EARC. Four or five other helpers were also assisting, bringing the Pizza and drinks in. The individual orders were previously taken ahead of time and a check list was followed so everyone got what they wanted. So, the distribution of food and drink resembled an assembly line having everything put in its proper place. The Pizza Party included two slices of pizza of your choice, Cheese, Pepperoni, Sausage, or Supreme, choice of soda and one round of miniature golf. After the Pizza Fest, the golf club putters & balls were selected. Mike, Michael and Joe began the scramble soon to find out that the water hazards would come into play with most every hole. It seemed like they would have had barriers up to prevent balls going into the moat around the course because everyone was getting wet from dipping their hands in the water to retrieve balls. They completed the adventurous course and did make a few hole-in-ones. Wanda, Donna Kay, and Debbie started out but opted to hang out with Scott and watch the action from the Coconut Café Snack Bar until they could putt around on the first hole alone. Afterwards, the video games drew all their attention while the guys played a few games of Air Hockey. A good time was had by all on this night of Pizza & More at Walther’s Golf-n-Fun Center.
