Meet tHorn

By DonnA newMAn

photo provided by the CNySpCA every rose has its thorn, but who ever heard of a dog named Thorn? Tipping the scales at 100 pounds, Thorn looks intimidating, but she’s a gentle giant who loves everyone. She came to the shelter when her family had too many pets. She’s a five year old shepherd/akita mix. She’s calm but has bursts of energy, affectionate but also independent. She’s great on the leash and a pleasure to take on walks. She’s been described as a great snuggler and a wonderful companion. we think she would do well in a home with respectful, older kids. if you have room in your heart and your home for a 100 pound dog, come and meet Thorn today. (And if you adopt her, feel free to change her name!) For more information about adoption, call 315-454-4479, email frontdesk1@cnyspca.org, or visit cnyspca.org.

The tournament, named for founder Ruth Colvin, will benefit the LiteracyCNY reading, math, and digital literacy services that are offered at no cost to community members.

“We are thrilled to be organizing this golf tournament and offer community members a fun and entertaining way to support our mission,” said executive director Joshua Stapf, “LiteracyCNY temporarily closed its doors in 2020 but came back stronger than ever and ready to support the literacy needs of Central New York residents. The tournament will directly support our instructional and digital programs and allow them to continue being held at no cost and accessible to all.”

In 1962, inspired by the 1960 Census stating 11,000 adults in Syracuse could not read, Ruth Colvin launched a literacy program from her basement with the support of Church Women United. Less than a decade later, that program grew to a national organization with affiliates across the country, including the original chapter in Syracuse. Today, that original affiliate still provides instruction on reading, the English language, and digital literacy skills to adults across the community as LiteracyCNY.

In her free time, Colvin has always been an avid golfer. Long before her efforts in the adult literacy movement, Colvin had a passion for advocacy and influencing change in her community.

In 1950, she founded the Dubbers Golf Group, sharing her passion and love for the sport with other women in her community. Now at 106 years young, Ruth still plays nine holes a week during the warmer months.

Potential tournament sponsors and participants are encouraged to register online at literacycny. org/ruth-colvin-invitational/ or fill out the form in the sponsor packet, available on our website, to be mailed to our office. Golfers and non-golfers alike are invited to support the event; there are a variety of options to be a part of the fun and cause. The registration deadline is Friday, May 26. LiteracyCNY is also proud to announce Vision Financial Group as the title sponsor for this event.

LiteracyCNY is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the cause of adult literacy. Staff and trained volunteers offer programs to help adult learners improve their reading, writing, math, and digital literacy skills. Services include: one on one tutoring, English conversation groups, and computer and internet skill development. For more information, visit literacycny.org

The Drumlins Country Club is a venue to host events, banquets, and special occasions while also an established club with outdoor activities. Since 1926, the club has been a staple in outdoor recreation and expanded upon activities such as golf, tennis, and swimming under Syracuse University ownership.
