How Birdies for Charity works…
We are asking you to make a minimum pledge
of one penny per birdie made during the 2006
Valero Texas Open. Of course, you can always
pledge more if you like, or make a flat contribution of at least $20.
It’s easy!
Register on-line, go to www.golfsanantonio.org.
Boysville’s number is 61!
How we will benefit…
Boysville will receive 100% of every penny
we raise through Birdies for Charity. Boysville
cares for children who have been physically,
emotionally and/or sexually abused. By participating in Birdies for Charity you support these
children in need. Funds raised from this program
go to our Infant and Toddler Program in the
Thompson Emergency Shelter.
How you can get a chance to get
a brand new car…
If you correctly guess the number of birdies
made from Wednesday- Sunday
of the tournament, you
could win a 2006
Buick vehicle or
become eligible
for a random
drawing of more
than 100 prizes
Believe it or not, Boysville’s Wildest Auction in the West is in its fortieth year of
raising money to care for the children who live on our campus every day. From
its most humble beginnings in the barn down at the stockyards… to the free
breakfast on campus… to last year’s record breaking turnout and most money
raised, the Auction is a great place to eat, drink and mingle with friends.
The Wildest Auction in the West started as a barn sale in Freeman Coliseum.
Animals raised in the Boysville barn were sold to local farmers and ranchers.
The auction moved onto the Boysville campus in 1966. The staff started at 4:30
in the morning making their own cowboy breakfast, and invited the public to visit
Boysville, eat and bid on animals, plants and a few selected silent auction items
from the Boysville Thrift Store.
As times changed, the Auction moved off-site and has raised more money each
year for our children. Last year, the Wildest Auction in the West raised an astounding $225,000! Big auction favorites included lunches with David Robinson
and honorary chair Red McCombs, as well as a Montana Fly Fishing trip and a
trip to the U.S. Open Golf Tournament.
The 2006 Wildest Auction in the West
is shaping up to be even bigger! Our
featured live auction item is a 1968
Blue Shelby GT, fully restored and
valued at over $125,000. Other items
include a custom playhouse designed
by Fisher-Heck Architects and
built by Character House Custom
Homes, a Disney World family
vacation, Joshua Creek Bird
Hunt, 12 ga. Shotgun and AKC
registered Brittany Spaniel Puppy
and so much more!
Judge Nelson and Tracy Wolff are serving as this year’s honorary chairs with our
favorite KENS-5 meteorologist, Bill Taylor. Dan Kruse is serving as this year’s
auctioneer. Live entertainment is Two Tons of Steel. Guests also might try their
hand at Texas Hold ‘Em or Blackjack table and try to win $25 and $50 prizes.
Sponsorships levels are available and can be seen on www.wildestauction.org.
Make your reservations now and attend this year’s Wildest Auction in the West.
Have fun and make a difference in the life of a child!

Spring has sprung and then Summer snuck up on us!
What a busy time this has been. CWS Capital Partners
brought 200 volunteers to our campus and in one
afternoon painted the interior of six cottages; landscaped
the courtyard; and updated our recreation room.
April was our busiest month as Steve Vandervorste and Patrick
Sheridan brought six large carnival rides and set up a carnival
just for the Boysville children. We rode a giant pirate ship, climbed
through a fun house and went round and round on a Mega
Bounce. Many volunteers helped set-up and run game booths
and each child went home with lots of carnival prizes. El Pollo
Loco generously donated lunch for the children and volunteers.
It was a beautiful day and the children did not want it to end. Our
“Thrift Store Chic” Fashion Show showcased the beautiful young
ladies of Boysville. Special thanks to Leslie Mouton for being our
master of ceremony, and to Diana Barrios-Trevino for the keynote
address. Volunteers from the University of Incarnate Word staged
this entire show dressed our girls in fabulous fashions from our
own Boysville Thrift Store.

The Boysville Residential program participated in a Spring
Semester Grade War. The winning cottage would receive season
passes to Fiesta Texas. Sien and Ridgeway Cottages tied for
first place with an 83 overall average. The residential program
plans to repeat the grade war once again in the fall and hopes to
see even higher overall GPA’s.
Several of our young adults graduated. Kerry, a former resident,
graduated from Texas A&M University with a Sports Management
degree. Rosie graduated from Judson High School and gathered
over $15,000 in scholarships and financial aid to attend the Texas
Culinary Academy. Cordera graduated from Judson High School
and after receiving good news on his high SAT scores, hopes to
study Law Enforcement. We wish all of our graduates well.
The 40th Annual Wildest Auction in the West is scheduled for
August 25th and preparations are well underway. This is our
largest and most exciting fundraiser for the programs at Boysville.
With Bill Taylor as the master of ceremonies and Dan Kruse as
auctioneer, and Two Tons of Steel as our entertainment, there are
sure to be some surprises.
Seeing our young adults excel assures me that Boysville is staying
true to its mission, providing a safe family environment to children
in need so that they may become responsible adults. Thanks to
our hard working staff, our loyal volunteers, our dedicated board
members and our generous donors, these young adults truly
exemplify this mission.

needs you!
Shortly after the doors of Boysville opened in
1943, a small group of women led by Vicki
Moffett offered their services to help care for
the thirty-three boys living at the Avenue A
location. These women cooked, cleaned,
washed clothing and helped rear the boys.
They provided love and compassion for
these orphaned children.
In 1952, Mrs. R. Lee Moffett, Mrs. Kent Hunt,
Mrs. E.M. Stinson, Mrs. E.B. Jones and
Mrs. Gidney Talley formed the Boysville
Auxiliary as an independent non-profit
corporation to continue their mission of
helping the boys of Boysville.
In 1954, the Boysville Thrift Shop opened in
an effort to raise money for the children of
Boysville, and to provide new and used
clothing for the boys. The auxiliary provided
special tutoring and PTA representation at
the boys’ schools. They clothed the teenagers
going to college and in some cases, helped
pay the tuition.
Today, the Boysville Thrift Store, located at
307 W. Olmos Drive, continues it mission of
providing clothes and college scholarships
provided through the Hunter Fund, established
by Mrs. J.R. Hunter.
The Thrift Store is still run by the Boysville
Auxiliary. Donations are taken or picked-up
daily. The Auxiliary is an organization whose
strength and foundation rely on love and
generosity.
The auxiliary numbers are dwindling and
volunteers are needed to continue to run the
shop by sorting through the many generous
donations given by the community, helping to
hang clothes and run the register.
Groups or individuals wanting to volunteer
their time should contact Vangie at the Thrift
Store, 826-2195. Donations may be dropped
off at the Thrift Store or pick-ups can be
arranged by calling 659-1901.
heatwave golf tournament
Hot time in the city! The 7th Heatwave Golf Tournament will be hotter than ever
on August 19, 2006 at the Canyon Springs Golf Club. The tournament, created
by Edward DeWees III, is a great way to have fun and benefit the children of
Boysville. DeWees strives to carry on his grandparents’ philanthropic legacy to
provide funds for programs helping children in need. What started as 20
friends playing golf and donating $500 has evolved into a tournament
that last year raised over $45,000 for the children of Boysville.
The Heatwave Committee will host a Pre-Tournament Dinner on
August 18, 2006 at the beautiful Valero Energy Corporation Headquarters.
The evening will include a delicious BBQ dinner, and silent and live
auctions. The Robert Henry Band will provide live entertainment.
Cost of the dinner is included in the registration fees, but dinner
tickets also can be purchased separately.
The committee is comprised of Edward DeWees III, Mark Meador,
Judy Jackson, Seth Bell, Robert Renner, Brooks Holzhausen,
Aaron Bengoechea, Teresa Hackebeil, Johnny Canavan, Beth Reinhardt,
Judy Jackson, William Galvan, Collie Owens and Lance Surovik.
The Heatwave Charity Golf Tournament will tee off on August 19th
at 8:30 a.m. at Canyon Springs Golf Club. Sponsorship levels
are still available and participants can register on-line at
www.heatwavegolf.com. For more information, please contact
Edward DeWees III at 210-863-1411 or Mark Meador at 210-473-5547.

ruff-n-ready jr. rodeo

Our younger children had an opportunity to
participate in America’s real sport: Rodeo. The
word conjures up images of broncs, bulls, chaps,
spurs and cowboy hats. The sport evolved as
cowhands gathered at spring brandings and
showed their prowess with horses, cattle and
ropes. Rodeo has welcomed champions of many
diverse ethnicities, including Bill Pickett, Leon
Coffe, Fred Ward, Lee Akins, Leo Camarrillo, Adam
and Gilbert Carrillo and two-time world champion
and current PRB leader Adriano Morias.
The sport of rodeo has become more sophisticated
and has grown to include many associations of all
ages, developed a sports medicine team, and been
progressive in keeping cowgirls and cowboys safe.
It also stresses family values, good morals and the
importance of faith.
Enjoy the pictures of our residents as they safely
ride, buck, race and compete against each other
atop stick horse ponies and our world famous
bull, Ojo de Oro or Eye of Gold. Thanks to our
announcer Tex Farnsworth; photographer Beth
Dikes; timer Kyle Dikes; flag men Syl Burkemper
and Justin Williams; and our rodeo clowns Frank
G. and Rene Mosqueda.

chicken little
Daniel H., a Boysville resident, had the
opportunity to care for and raise a small
group of baby chickens that were donated
to the Connell Center after Easter. Baby
chicks require lots of food, water and
warmth until they become fully feathered
and can regulate body temperature on their
own. Constant daily care is required and
it is important to keep them on a regular
schedule. It is just too bad they have to
grow up and stop being so cute.

Our annual goat show that allows us to participate against
Travis County CAPITAL 4-H was another great success.
Boysville residents walked away with the Grand Champion
of the show and the Goat Showmanship award. Thanks to
our sponsors, St. Hedwig Feed and Supply and CAPITAL
4-H for proving prizes and awards. Special thanks go to
Diana and Steve Garza for all their assistance.
campus news
cws cleans up
CWS Builds a Bridge between community
and business
On February 21, 2006, approximately 200 volunteers arrived at the
Boysville campus to do a massive two-hour spruce-up of the campus.

CWS Capital Partners LLC. manage various apartment homes
throughout Texas, Colorado, California and North Carolina. The
company, founded by Steven Sherwood, began B.R.I.D.G.E. as a
way for his company to give back to the community. According to
Leslie Gonzalez, area B.R.I.D.G.E. captain, Sherwood wanted to let
the community know they care.
B.R.I.D.G.E. stands for Breaking down barriers, Respect for others,
Investing our resources, Dedication to the community, Giving ourselves, and Everyone makes a difference. Each year, CWS holds
annual meetings for its managers and property directors. During the
three-day meeting, a two-hour time-out is scheduled and these volunteers perform a community service in the host city of the meeting.
This year, Boysville was selected to receive a much needed makeover by CWS. Led by area coaches Leslie Gonzalez, Theresa
Shields and Becky Johnson, the volunteers painted bedrooms in five
cottages, sanded and stained bathroom counters, planted trees and
jasmine, re-mulched the playground, painted the recreation room
and cleaned the carpet in the library and chapel. All of this within a
two-hour timeframe! Afterwards, the volunteers enjoyed
an ice cream party with the children of Boysville.
“The event was very rewarding,” said Gonzalez. “Often, we do not get
to meet the people who benefit from our projects. It was nice to meet
the children and have ice cream with them.”
Many of the volunteers came away from Boysville amazed at the
children’s home and the services it provides to children, she said.
“Even our out-of-town associates were amazed. This is a home
with a heart.”
houseparents
By Leequaysha
Here where I’m at, the houseparents
are cool but I don’t know what to do.
It seems funny not to have my real parents,
And strange, but I know I’ll get through.
Some of the people or houseparents
are nice and some are so mean
But I can try my best to ignore it
But I can’t so I just get an attitude
With the houseparents.
But now it seems to me that I’m getting
better at it because I stand proud and say,
Hey, I live in Boysville.

carnival fun!
river parade
Texas Cavaliers River Parade
Special thanks to El Pollo Loco who provided lunch for our
children, staff and volunteers! Even the mascot had a great
time at the carnival!
Several Boysville residents participated in the
Texas Cavaliers River Parade. This year, each
boat had a theme and the Boysville Theme was
Saturday Morning Cartoons. Tiffany, (Scooby
Doo), Cindy (Penny, Inspector Gadget’s
sidekick), Vincent, (Shaggy) and Jake,
(Captain Planet) along with case manager,
Shelly Miller (Gaia, Spirit of the Earth) and
Director of Community Relations, Beth
Reinhardt (Daphne) performed songs from
Captain Planet, Inspector Gadget and Scooby
Doo cartoons while cruising down the river.
Boysville would like to thank the many generous individuals
and companies who sponsored this event and gave their
time to create a day of fun for the children of Boysville.
Manny Ruiz and the Autobahns compiled
the music and performed with the Boysville
residents on the barge.
On April 1, Boysville children enjoyed a day of carnival
rides and games on the Boysville Campus! Volunteers from
Reagan High School, The Optimist Clubs of San Antonio
and Valero Energy Corporation, as well as many individuals from San Antonio, spent the afternoon painting faces,
scooping out endless snow cones and running game
booths such as the balloon pop, ring toss and more.

rosie graduates
Rosie,18, knows how unpredictable life can be. At the age of twelve, Rosie came to live
at Boysville, along with her brother. In an uncertain time of her life, she set her goals and
made sure she was going to achieve them. In high school, Rosie’s career choice became
clear: She wanted to be a chef. She participated in the culinary arts program at Judson
High School as well as the competition culinary arts team. Her goal is to attend a Cordon
Bleu culinary arts program and she was accepted into the Texas Culinary Arts Academy
in Austin. The cost for tuition is $42,000 for a two-year program. Determined to make
this happen, Rosie has applied for and received many scholarships… and she’s on her
way to becoming a chef and achieving her dreams. What a great role model!
