Bill Middleton presents check to Bill Boike, Shiloh Youth Ranch<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Our guest speaker on May 22nd<\/sup> was Bill Boike from Shiloh Youth Ranch<\/strong>.  Shiloh Youth Ranch has been in operation for 54 years and is a faith-based, non-profit foster home for troubled boys who are uncontrollable at home but they do begin to conform when they realize the Shiloh leaders are there to help them. The operation is solely funded by donations and there is no charge to the parents of these boys.<\/p>\n

Shiloh Youth Ranch is a 56-acre multi-ministry facility including a church, the boys\u2019 school, and adult missionary outreach.  The home can house up to 14 boys ages 9-14.  Boys are taught to work with their hands and arrive with different levels of education, so are given personalized tutoring. Bill lived at Shiloh in his youth and has now been leading the boys for 38 years.<\/p>\n

Current needs are to remodel their dorms with new tile flooring, bunk beds and replacement of washers and dryers.  In closing, Bill thanked us for our support and invited our club to plan a luncheon meeting at the facility. <\/p>\n

On May 17 several of our members participated in the RADwomen Class<\/em><\/strong> taught by Sebastian Police Department and Indian River County Sheriff\u2019s Department.  We learned lots of helpful things, made some new friends and had a great time with these officers.  Taking this class when offered again is highly recommended! <\/p>\n

Many thanks to Jason Gillette and Donald Hart from Sebastian Police Department and Cliff Labbe from Indian River County Sherrif’s Department. <\/p>\n
