Davis Lakers stopped by our Tree Trimming Party to say hi to old
friends and add an ornament or two to our tree. Thanks to all who
took the time to stop by and celebrate with us. For those who did
not get the chance to join us for our Tree Trimming Party, please
stop by the clubhouse and see our beautiful tree all decked out for
the holidays and check out these photos.
More pictures on page 8.
Clubhouse Makeover update… as you can see as you drive past
the clubhouse these days lots of work is underway. The roof has
been replaced and painting has begun. Windows will be installed
this week as well as finishing the siding. I am sure our Clubhouse
will look spectacular when it is done. See some photos of work in
progress.
Holiday Decoration Disposal… please remove all lights, garland,
and ornaments from your Christmas Trees, wreaths and roping and
place curbside. The City of Charlotte will pick up and dispose of
properly. Please DO NOT put these items in our common/wooded
areas or lakeside.
I would like to wish all my Davis Lake Friends and
Neighbors and wonderful, peaceful and joyous Holiday
Season. Julie

Davis Lake Networking Committee
The Networking group met on 11/11 we
welcomed a new member to the group. We
spent some time looking at a Personal
Marketing Plan. This is a document that
folks can use to keep them on track in their
job hunt as well as hand to a recruiter to
show them the companies they are target-
ing, highlight their skill sets and what not.
Good tool for sure!
We also ventured out to the www and
looked at 4 sites that you can use to get
actual names of potential hiring managers
for positions you are applying for. This is
a great follow up to hitting “submit” on
career builder. The suggestion is that, to
the best of your abilities, you try to find
the name of a person at the company you
are applying for and send them the same
cover letter and resume your used to apply
on line.
The sites we visited are:
www.linkedin.com
www.spoke.com
www.jigsaw.com
www.cogmap.com
For December the session is still work in
progress, but here’s a teaser…… we plan
to meet at 11:30 and celebrate the holiday
with a couple pots of chili, some fresh
bread and drinks. After the lunch we will
have a session and should end by 1:30. All
we need is …. YOU! We would love to
see some of our alumni!
If you are UN or UNDER employed De-
cember’s session would be a great way to
get to know some of the other members in
a low key way! Don’t be shy, join us to-
day, it’s FREE! Also look for our group on
LinkedIn, just search by groups for the DL
Networking/Support Group and request to
join. Lot’s of good stuff posted there!
Stay positive and continue to ……. NET-
WORK, NETWORK, NETWORK!

working and Support Group.

TBI…Traumatic Brain What???
Have you or your child ever had a concussion? If so, then you
have experienced a brain injury. Recently there has been lots of
publicity concerning brain injury among football players and the
ability or inability of their helmets to protect them. As reported
in the news, the majority of injured soldiers returning from Iraq
and Afghanistan have sustained traumatic brain injuries (TBI).
You may wonder why I am writing about this subject.
As some of you know, the topic of brain injury is a passion for
the Foil family. Marty Foil’s younger brother sustained a brain
injury in 1984 which prompted his family’s involvement in TBI
on the local, state and national levels. We are ecstatic that in
2011 our biggest fundraising and awareness event in the Char-
lotte area celebrates its 20th anniversary, January 29th. As we
approach this event, part of our goal is to increase public aware-
ness of the frequency and severity of brain injury and how Hinds’
Feet Farm, Inc. (HFF), a non-profit in Huntersville and Asheville,
is serving individuals living with traumatic and acquired brain
injuries. HFF is the culmination of the Foil family’s dream for a
unique day program that shifts from the traditional medical
model for people living with brain injury, to an independent,
community model that embraces a holistic health and wellness
orientation, empowering its members toward occupation and
meaning in life. Day programs at both sites run Monday through
Thursday. This winter we are starting construction of a six-bed
residence in Huntersville that will be for full-time care.
We invite you to make the short drive out to Black Farms Road
and see the facility and to witness the wonderful work that is be-
ing accomplished there. Our caregivers, community volunteers
and student interns are guides for the members in various oppor-
tunities for exploration and self-esteem in their new identity and
meaning in life post-injury. You can read more at
www.hindsfeetfarm.org and I encourage you to take a look
through the wonderful pictures and read “A Mother’s Story.”
As we approach the holiday season and the end of the year,
preparations are underway for our twentieth annual black-tie
gala, the Checkered Ball. We understand that the current econ-
omy brings many financial challenges. It affects everyone. But,
if you have the means and are interested in this cause, have been
touched by what you read on the website or have experienced
TBI in some way in your life, we invite you join us at the event
on January 29, 2011 at the Westin uptown. There is a fabulous
dinner, dancing, and wonderful silent and live auctions. The cost
is $150 per person, $300 per couple and $1500 for a table of ten.
You can find more information about the event and other ways to
contribute at www.thecheckeredball.org., or you can call the
Foils at 704.596.5810.
I wish all of you a happy and healthy holiday season.
