Despite the threat of rainy weather hanging in the air, golf enthusiasts took to the course at BridgeMill Friday for the annual Golf Fore Charity tournament held by the BridgeMill Sixes Service League.
After the golfers had finished up their rounds and enjoyed a meal inside Featherstone’s, league officials paid a special tribute to the tournament’s honoree, Cherokee County Sheriff Frank Reynolds. The league also presented Reynolds with a check he was able to turn around and gift to a charity of his choice.
With his check, Reynolds presented $500 to the Bethany Place organization, a faith-based home in Canton providing shelter to women and children who have been abused.

By Rebecca Johnston:
It started life as a chicken house, but today the transformed building is truly a haven for women and children in need of not only shelter from the battering storms of their lives, but also love, hope and kindness.
Bethany Place is a Christian-based ministry which offers a safe haven where women can break the bonds of their past and find hope for a better future. Whether they have suffered from abuse, poverty or drugs, the shelter helps them to transform their lives.
The building itself is a sort of metaphor, because like the women who come there from all walks of life to transform their lives, that old chicken house is now transformed into a lovely, welcoming refuge.

To accommodate a new vision, the store was closed on July 1 so renovations could take place.
Bethany Boutique was first opened seven years ago as a thrift shop run by the residents of Bethany Place and will hold its re-opening at 10 a.m.
