What is Academic Decathlon?

Academic Decathlon is an an elite high school competition that includes a battery of ten tests: mathematics, economics, history, science, essay, interview, speech, art, music, and literature. Unlike other academic programs, Academic Decathlon teams are made up of A, B, and C students. The goal is provide a more holistic and advanced academic competition and to recognize students who push themselves far past the standard curriculum.

Where does this money go?

The money raised goes towards buying studying materials, books, quizzes, tests, food, transportation, and paying for registration fees for competitions.

What is the course like?

Diamond Oaks Country Club’s 18-hole championship golf course is one of the best layouts in the area. The course features a creek that meanders throughout the property and comes into play on six holes. Strategic bunkering and 100-year old oak tree lined fairways provide aesthetic beauty for members and guests. The golf course is named after a 150-year old Oak Tree that still resides on hole number 15.

Latinas Leading Tomorrow (LLT) is a school based after school program established in 2004 in Arlington, Virginia. It was disigned to meet the students’ need to have a program that spoke to their particular concerns of young Latinas who are possibly the first in their families to attend college and may not have the support and knowledge of how to get there and graduate.

Since 2004 the program has expanded to include all of Arlington’s comprehensive high schools as well as most middle schools in the county.In 2010 LLT expanded to include two chapters in Fairfax County and three chapters in Manor, Texas.

LLT now serves over 300 students per year. Program alumni currently attend a variety of universities, including James Madison, George Mason, Mary Washington, Virginia Tech, Penn State, Marymount, Carnegie Mellon and Richmond University. These students return during their breaks to share their experiences with current LLT students. LLT is proud to have one of the founding high school students on its advisory board and assist in the coordination of LLT’s annual Latina power conference.

This is the 8th annual tournament for Homes with Hope. It has a loyal following of golfers with over 30% particpating in four or more tournaments. Matt Musil KHOU sports reporter has participated in all eight tournaments.

As a student of the Program for Excellence in Selling at the University of Houston, one of our main objectives as students is to find participants and sponsorships for our semi-annual golf tournament. It will be held at Kingwood Country Club on Monday, October 31, 2011

The event will aid with the cultivation of skills for the best and brightest talent being introduced into the sales market. It is a wonderful networking event as many prominent companies in the area are annual participants and sponsors of the Program.

Thank you so much for your time and consideration. If you are interested in participating in this event, please contact me at your earliest convenience. I will be more than happy to further assist you.

A Place of HOPE is a charitable healthcare clinic & an emotional trauma center in the Highland Lakes area to assist those who are lacking in health insurance or financial ability to seek medical or emotional help. We are a life line of restoration and support to those who have found themselves in temporary need of medical or emotional help without the ability to pay for these services through no fault of their own.

Our medical clinic offers routine checkups and also sees patients who need prescriptions and who no longer can afford to go to their previous physicians due to their temporary financial situation. We have our own Medical Room staffed with Pharmacists who volunteer their time. Our Medical Assistance Program is designed to help patients who need assistance with their prescription drugs.

On Saturday, October 1st Doc Avery will host the 1st Annual Halloween Golf Tournament at the Avery Ranch Golf Course. Combined proceeds in the Fall from the Golf Tournament and the Haunted House will benefit the Capital Area Food Bank and other selected charities. Hope to see you there !

In 2010, Doc Avery Charities (DAC) was incorporated as a tax exempt and IRS recognized 501(c)3. Under this designation DAC can solicit sponsors, provide tax documentation for donations, and conduct fund raisers year round.
