David Bourassa Memorial Golf Tournament donates $1,000 to New Generation Shelter

Wednesday, July 11, 2007 (Greenland, NH)— The David Bourassa Memorial Golf Tournament committee, made up of David’s closest friends from his hometown of Greenland, recently donated $1,000 to New Generation Shelter of Greenland. Bourassa and his company, Bayside Paving, had volunteered time doing projects at the shelter, sponsoring events and publications.

“Everyone on the committee agreed right away that New Gen was one place that David supported,” said a friend. “He cared about the shelter and the people who came through here.”

Toni Trotzer, Executive Director, was thrilled with the investment. “David’s friends are actively giving back to the community as a tribute to him. We are touched by all that he and his company did for us, and are grateful for the committee’s support.” Over 330 women and 230 children have lived in the shelter since it opened in 1987.

New Generation, Inc. is a shelter program for homeless pregnant women and mothers with young children teaching self-sufficiency to its residents. The shelter houses up to seven women and their children at a time, while teaching parenting education, job skills and life skills. Residents are driven to housing, health and social service appointments in the Continuum of Care, as well as work, job interviews and education classes.
