Love INC golf tournament fundraiser
Registration is open for the 13th annual Love INC (In the Name of Christ) charity golf tournament hosted Aug. 19 at the Alderbrook Golf and Yacht Club in Union, and tickets are also available for the golf ball drop from a helicopter following the tournament.
This is the primary source of financial support for the mission of Love INC, a Shelton-based nonprofit whose 25 partner churches work together connecting people in need to Jesus Christ while providing goods and services such as clothing, blankets, furniture, backpacks for kids, diapers and medical equipment.
Participaction in the golf tournament is limited to 40 teams of four, so early registration is recommended. Golfers pay a registration fee of $150 each, which covers their green fees and provides tee packs that include a sleeve of three balls and a meal at the end of the tournament.
Teams of up to four have won as much as $600 for a first-place finish. Register by calling 360-462-5683.
To participate in the golf ball drop after the tournament, buy a ticket for $10 that gets your number on a golf ball that is dropped from a helicopter over the golf course’s 18th hole. You will be eligible to win as much as $2,000 for a hole in one, and $150 to $1,000 depending on how close your ball falls to the 18th hole.
Tickets are available at 360-462-5683.

Author/healer reads at Shelton library
Author and healer Heather Hawk, an artist in residence at Hypatia-in-the-Woods outside Shelton, will read from her memoir “What is Still Wild” at 4:30 today at the Shelton Timberland Library, 710 Alder St., Shelton.
In her book, Hawk chronicles her diagnosis of a massive uterine fibroid and three-year healing experience while navigating grief and divorce. Her story also illustrates larger social issues related to the body, such as menstruation, virginity, female agency, pleasure and violence. The book asks the question “What does it mean to listen to and trust a body that lives in a world that doesn’t listen to women?”
