1st annual Terry Anderson Memorial Golf Tournament

Terry loved to golf. He loved to talk about his game: a new driver he couldn’t wait to try out, his great shots, his bad shots, and of course – the weather. He loved the challenging nature of the game and being able to spend time with friends outdoors, having fun. When he wasn't golfing, he was often thinking about it, taking lessons, trying new courses and playing old favorites. One of those old familiar tracks is Braemar Golf Course in Edina.

Braemar will be the perfect setting for a golfing tournament, held in Terry's honor. Please join his family, co-workers and friends for a challenging, yet fun game of golf on Saturday Sept. 19, 2009. We are offering an 18-hole shotgun event starting at 1:30 p.m, plus a 9-hole event on Braemar’s executive course starting at 3:30 p.m.

We'll head to the studio afterward for hors d’oeuvres, beer, wine, prizes, and good light-hearted fun . . . just the way Terry would have liked it! We will also present an award to the winners of the tournament. If you can’t make the golf, you are most welcome to join us for the food and fun at the studio starting at 6:30 p.m.

TKA Photo is hosting this 1st annual Terry Anderson Memorial Golf Tournament to benefit The Terry Anderson Memorial Fund and the American Heart Association.

The Terry Anderson Memorial Fund

A fund has been established in memory of the “teacher” in Terry. Terry, who was mentored by Glen and Sue Silker, always wanted to continue the legacy of educating budding photographers. Terry was a very patient educator of the craft he so loved. His accomplishments as a photographer were only strengthened by his willingness and enthusiasm to share with others. This fund will help support the training and education of other students.

In seemingly good health, Terry died suddenly of a heart attack Feb. 23, 2009. The Terry Anderson Memorial Fund will also support the American Heart Association. The priority of the AHA is to fund research that increases an understanding of the causes, treatments and prevention of cardiovascular diseases and strokes.

Sweet Taste of Summer - Watermelon Coolers

Enjoy the rest of this beautiful summer with a cool, sweet refreshing beverage.


INGREDIENTS:
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 3/4 cup water
• 1 cup fresh lime juice
• 3 cups white rum
• 4 cups seedles watermelon
• 8 cups crushed ice
• Watermelon spears and mint sprigs, for garnish

SERVINGS: MAKES 2 1/2 QUARTS

DIRECTIONS:
In a saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Bring to a simmer over moderate heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Remove from the heat and let cool. In a blender, combine half of the sugar syrup with half of the lime juice, rum and watermelon chunks and blend until combined. Add half of the ice and blend until smooth, then pour into a large pitcher. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Serve in chilled glasses, garnish with watermelon spears and top with mint sprigs. The watermelon mixture can be blended earlier in the day and refrigerated. Blend with ice just before serving. Tastes just as refreshing in a non-alcoholic version.
