We needed to decide who would be receiving donations from our Annual Benefit Hunt. With only three charities mentioned, it was decided to donate $1,000 among Candlelighters of Brevard, Nana's House and SOS Cookies.

 

            Candlelighters of Brevard, Inc. (http://www.candlelightersofbrevard.org) is a non-profit organization dedicated to children with cancer and their families by offering emotional support and financial assistance. Candlelighters of Brevard, Inc are committed to ensuring no one has to face the diagnosis of childhood cancer alone.

            Nana’s House (http://nanaschildrenshome.com) is a group children’s home for neglected, abused, needy, or abandoned children ages 0 – 18. These children will be provided for in every manner. Their mission is to provide a safe, secure, loving home where these children can come and experience God’s love and healing.  

            SOS Cookies sends troops ‘taste of home’ from Roseland and Sebastian. SOS Cookies remembers American troops by sending care packages of homemade cookies to as many soldiers overseas as possible.

On August 25th there was a hunt with the Daytona Beach Club (a flyer was sent to everyone). Cost was $15.00 and it was held after sunset and NO lights were allowed. Look for more of these in the future.  

Mitch King, TCAS Vice President talked about the upcoming TCAS Appreciation Hunt on November 3rd. This hunt will be only for members of TCAS, Gold Coast and the Central Florida Metal Detecting clubs. The grand prize will be a Garrett AT Pro detector!  

Mitch also talked about our Multi Park Hunt which will be on October 6th at Wickham Park in Melbourne. Show time 9:00 AM, eating about 1:00 PM with prizes after everyone is full. Parks will be announced at Wickham Park. You can hunt all parks or just one, whatever you want to do. Top three prizes are: 1st place a Garrett ACE 250; 2nd place a Scoop; 3rd place will be a TCAS one year membership.  

TCAS Christmas Party will be held on December 9th with a start time of 4:30 - 5:00 PM at Marsh Landings in Fellsmere.
