Garrett Mitman was honored as our most recent Student of the Month on Tuesday, April 25th. Garrett is the son of Terry & Doug Mitman of Mequon.

Garrett is a senior at Homestead High School and was able to graduate early, after the 2^nd trimester of his senior year, so that he could continue to pursue his passion of basketball and give back to a community in need on the small island of Turks & Caicos in the Caribbean. Garrett is the president and founder of a non-profit organization, Island Hoops Project, where he has raised $76,000 (and counting) to renovate a basketball court for the Turks & Caicos community of Providenciales. Garrett hopes to raise an additional $8,000 this spring to complete the project and finish the court with a set of bleachers and lighting. You can learn more about Garrett’s project at islandhoopsproject.org.

Garrett has played basketball for the Homestead Highlanders for the past 4 years and was named Team Captain his senior year. He has also served as the Summer Camp Commissioner for Homestead’s Hoop Camp for grades 5-9 and has served as a referee for Slammers Basketball, a program for pre-K to grade 5.

Garrett will be attending Colgate University in upstate New York this fall. He plans to study pre-med and will be playing basketball for the Colgate Raiders.

Garrett, we thank you for your “Service Above Self!”

President Reviews Goals for 2016-17

President MacFarlane reviewed goals set by the club a year ago and compared where we are to previous years' results. The club exceeded the goal for Polio Plus, and the membership strategic plan is in place, which is a plus. Donations to the community increased for the fourth year in a row. Community service projects continue to generate opportunities for service above self--over 325 volunteer hours so far this year.

What will you do to help the club meet or exceed the remaining goals?
