Habitat for Humanity of Monroe County framed three homes during their Fast Frame Weekend in Bloomington’s Cedar Chase neighborhood. Don and Lisa Weiler, along with their daughters Beth Anne and Emma, took advantage of the beautiful weather on Saturday, but put on their mud boots for a rainy Sunday.
Habitat for Humanity of Monroe County was founded in 1988. After more than 20 years and 100 homes built, Habitat for Humanity of Monroe County maintains a 0% foreclosure rate. Now the affiliate has more than 10 full-time staff, a ReStore discount home improvement store, and housed more than 360 people. Construction for the affiliate’s first neighborhood, Cedar Chase, began in 2008 on Bloomington’s southwest side and will be home to more than 30 families once complete.

August 26, 2011
The Boys & Girls Clubs of Bloomington hosted its inaugural Club Heroes Golf Marathon at the Bloomington Country Club. Each Club Hero was challenged to raise $1,500 or more by soliciting donations for an overall team goal of $27,000. Donations were either flat amounts, or per hole pledges, incentivizing Heroes to play as many holes as possible. Players exceeded the $27,000 goal by raising $28,013.
Club Heroes were Don & Joe Weiler, Adam Long, Bob Harter, Brad Holtz, David Killion, Jay Rensink, Jeff Baldwin, Jeremy Tempel, Josh Hogan, Kimber McElhinney, Kyle Robinson, Mike Glasscott, Mike Sutherland, Renee, Sam & Tanner Shapiro and Tony Kale. Each of these golfers endured a late start due to severe weather and played a grueling day of golf (soggy greens prevented cart usage) in the humid and often-times sun-baked conditions.
Special acknowledgements go to Don & Joe Weiler for raising the most money as a father-son pair ($3,825), Mike Glasscott for raising the most money as an individual ($2,450) and Mike Sutherland for playing the most holes of golf (144 holes).
The Boys & Girls Clubs of Bloomington would like to thank each Hero for their extraordinary efforts before, during and after the event.
The clubs would also like to thank John Grigsby and his staff at Bloomington Country Club as well as other businesses that donated to this event: Spaah, Yogi’s Grill, Bloomington Car Wash, Le Petit Cafe, TGI Fridays, Opie Taylors, Mira Salon, Butch’s, Target, Mary Kay representative Stacy Felton, People’s State Bank, Olive Garden, Osmon Chiropractic, Orscheln Farm and Home, Village Deli, Scholar’s Inn Bakehouse, Starbucks, Jimmy Johns, Mallor Grodner, Bunger and Robertson, Ellettsville True Value Hardware and the IU Golf Course.
Thanks to the efforts of these Heroes, local businesses and donors, children within the community will continue to have an opportunity to realize their dreams and full potential through Club programming.
Proceeds from the Golf Marathon directly fund the excellent programs and activities at the Boys & Girls Club of Bloomington.

The main lodge at Camp Emma Lou near Lake Monroe is close to completion as the camp prepares to host children and families challenged with illness, hardship or special needs. The lodge will serve as the common gathering space for meals, games, movies and rainy day camaraderie.
In support of the project, Bailey & Weiler Design/Build contributed the Lodge design and $20,000 in construction management services.
Camp Emma Lou is run by the Enis Furley Foundation, which was founded by professional baseball player Scott Rolen in 1999.
For over over three years Bailey & Weiler donated their time on the coordination of $1.7 million in capital projects for St. Charles Borromeo Church and School.
The projects will be completed this spring.
Bailey & Weiler, LLC donated the design and coordinated much of the construction for the treehouse at Camp Emma Lou that is a part of Scott Rolen’s Enis Furley Foundation in Bloomington, Indiana.
