Dear Friends,
As you know, the “TOPS” team at Solutia actively supports the PALS organization of Greenwood. PALS is a group of young boys that are for the most part under privileged. During the year, we always attempt to obtain the necessary equipment for these young people to participate in our annual activities of Fishing at Lake Greenwood. We feel the need to involve all willing donors in these events to make it more rewarding for all involved. The “TOPS” team will always strive to provide necessary equipment needed for such an event, but any help from Individuals or organizations would be greatly appreciated. Cindy Martini, the Director of PALS Of Greenwood/United Way Organization (
www.greenwoodpals.org ) supplies us names of these youngsters that she would like to see participate. The age groups that we continue to work with are between twelve and fifteen. At this time in their formative years, you can educate them and provide them with the necessary tools to be a true supporter of Boating Safety, Hunting Safety, Outdoor Conservation and how to safely enjoy all other sports. Coming from single parent homes, many do not have the means to be involved with fishing, boating, hunting and conservation activities that other kids do. In today's world, every one needs to be taught the proper way to use and safely operate a Boat. These kids will be given the opportunity with the leadership and help that you and Solutia/PALS will provide.
During the year they are given a “Boater Education/Safety” course by Steve Simpson of the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources. We are always looking to add new donors and new events to provide a lasting experience for PALS. “TOPS” Team/Solutia Fishing Club will take each individual supplied by PALS (8) out for a day of fishing at Lake Greenwood on Saturday, June 28, 2008. Afterwards we will provide lunch at the Solutia Recreation Boat Ramp and Pavilion. Hopefully, you will be inclined to make a donation so we can provide these young people with needed fishing lures, souvenir caps, patches, other equipment and lunch for this annual event. Any donation will be greatly appreciated!! All donations to the PALS organization can be used as tax write off and a 501© (3) number can be provided if necessary. We always look at a Friday or Saturday after the school is dismissed for all events in the coming year(s). Solutia of Greenwood will supply me with the use of the Plant Facilities to make these events a GREAT Success. Thank you for taking the time to read my letter and if you can help with “TOPS” or join the team by making a donation or providing merchandise!! Many thanks!!
Sincerely Thanks,
Joseph M. Hazel Sr.
