After two successive years of inclement weather, Mother Nature finally gave MCTA a break—and what a triumph it was with 184 golfers participated in the MCTA Bill Mullen Memorial Golf Tournament.

This year’s tournament was held June 21 at Old Hickory Golf Course in St. Peters, Missouri. Judging from golfer comments, the course was a winner, so plans include holding next year’s tournament at the same location.

Our first place team consisted of Tom DeMuse, Mark Maloy and Ryan Dansby (Aurora) and Sean Gallagher (Charter Communications). Congratulations to all on a great round of golf!

With all of the items on display, the silent auction and raffle were a huge success. Attendees walked away with some great prizes: a set of golf clubs, bottles of superb wine, an NFL football autographed by current KC Chiefs starting quarterback Matt Cassel, and St. Louis Cardinals green seat baseball tickets, just to name a few.

Hockey Hall-of-Famer and former St. Louis Blues player Bernie Federko, served as honorary chairman. Leif Lisec, KC Metro Sports personality, was the master of ceremonies, while HBO’s Jennifer Mancuso assisted as the official auctioneer.

Participants enjoyed sumptuous food, great fellowship, and a good time was had by all. Proceeds from the event go to the MCTA PAC. Thanks to all who participated in any way!

Words cannot describe the feeling of gratitude that we have for any and all who donated, participated, attended and or gave of themselves at 1st Annual VJ Memorial Fund Trivia Night, in honor of our Son. Between the laughs, stories and folks getting together, it was memorable evening.

It was a truly a successful night. We all helped raise approximately $15,000. These monies will be put to The VJ Mancuso Memorial Fund, a non for profit organization founded in the memory of VJ Mancuso who courageously lost his battle of a severe congenital heart defect known as Hypo Plastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS). This fund is dedicated to supporting children with special needs, helping organizations, individuals and families that made VJ’s short time in this world a full and happy life.

Some of following beneficiaries include: Early Childhood Center of the Rockwood School District, the children, families and nurses at St. Louis Children’s Hospital, St. Ambrose Church & School and Temple Israel.

Thanks for your friendship, love and support!

Missouri Congressman William Lacy Clay (D-1st) visited Charter Commons on Monday, June 6, 2011, as part of the Charter Employee Grassroots Political Forum.

This forum is designed to encourage open dialogue between Charter employees and political representatives. Congressman Clay’s visit began with a 45 minute meeting with managers where he told about key issues that impact Missouri and took time to answer questions. He then took a tour of the facility and was eagerly greeted by employees that wanted to shake his hand and have a picture taken with him.

Congressman Clay has served his district since 2000 and is a member of both the Oversight and Reform Committee and Financial Services Committee.

Prior to serving in Congress, Mr. Clay was a member of the MO state legislature for some 17 years.

MCTA is pleased to announce that Bernie Federko, Hockey Hall of Famer and former St. Louis Blues centre, will be the Honorary Chairman for the 2011 Bill Mullen MCTA Annual Tournament.

Federko was drafted by the St. Louis Blues in 1976, and went to become the first player in NHL history to record at least 50 assists in 10 consecutive seasons. He had his number ’24′ retired by the Blues on March 16, 1991, and was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2002.

Federko is currently a television color commentator for the Blues.

St. Louis, MO – Charter is contributing $50,000 to the American Red Cross St. Louis Chapter to aid relief efforts following the damage caused by severe storms and tornados that hit the St. Louis area on Friday, April 22.

Crews restoring power and Charter’s technical teams worked tirelessly to restore services.

“The Red Cross is grateful for the support of corporate partners like Charter, who are critical to the ability of the Red Cross to help people in their time of need,” said Cindy Erickson, Regional Chief Executive Officer for the St. Louis Area Chapter. “We appreciate Charter’s confidence in the mission of the American Red Cross.”

The American Red Cross St. Louis Area Chapter continues to provide shelter, food, clothing, damage assessment and casework for families who have been displaced from their homes due to the storms. Trained damage assessment teams are currently in North St. Louis county and other neighborhoods meeting with families to assess needs, provide clean-up supplies and food, and continue to provide assistance as the recovery continues in the weeks and months ahead.

Every year on Comcast Cares Day, we bring together tens of thousands of Comcast employees, their families and friends to make a positive impact in neighborhoods across the country.

On April 30th, Comcast Cares Day projects, spanning 39 states and the District of Columbia, will include rehabilitating public parks, planting sustainable food gardens, cleaning up schools such as Raytown High School and more.

This year Comcast is celebrating the tenth anniversary of Comcast Cares Day, which has since grown to become one of the largest single-day corporate volunteer efforts in the country. With last year’s effort included, Comcast employees, families and friends have now volunteered at more than 2,900 projects and delivered more than 1.7 million hours of service.

Comcast will have a video camera and crew at our 2011 Comcast Cares Day project to allow our public officials to tape a public service announcement in support of community involvement and volunteering your time and talents to the community.

In order to raise citizen awareness, Missouri Governor Jay Nixon proclaimed April “Dig Safely Month” in the state of Missouri.

Kicking off the campaign, Chuck Simino and other business and telecommunications leaders invited to attend a ceremony in Governor Nixon’s office on March 15.   Praising the work already done by the Missouri One-Call System, Governor Nixon stressed the need to continue protecting  the state’s underground telecommunications and utility infrastructure.

Missouri law requires that a locate request be placed before beginning any excavation (homeowners, that means trees, shrubs, and flowers!).  Placing a locate request is free and easy! Call 1-800-DIG-RITE (800-344-7483) or 811 or start an internet ticket at online at www.mo1call.com.

The utilities should respond to your request within 3 working days by:

• Marking the approximate location of their facilities or
• Notifying you that they have no facilities in your dig site area.

After the utility companies respond, you can then proceed with your excavation…safely!
