Celebrating Rick Teets: A Loyal Volunteer and Dedicated Mentor
At FACCES, we’re grateful to have incredible volunteers who give their time and talents to help support the FACCES mission. Rick Teets loyalty and dedication have made a significant impact on our community. Rick has been a committed volunteer at the FACCES Fresh Market, and he doesn’t hesitate to show up and give back, even when it means stepping away from his passion for golf.
“I love to teach and play golf, and I realized that not everyone can teach young kids. I can’t talk to a 6-year-old how I do a 12-year-old. I wanted to come up with specialized lessons specifically for the kids. The kids learned the fundamentals of the sport, but outside of that we talked about how to introduce yourself, sportsmanship and more.”
But Rick’s contributions go beyond the Fresh Market. During the FACCES Summer Program, Rick took on the role of mentor, teaching students the fundamentals of golf. Through the sport he loves, he not only helped them develop their golfing skills but also imparted valuable life lessons that will stay with them for years to come.
“Of course when you’re retiring you have to find something to do, it seemed like a worthwhile endeavor to participate in. I saw Fresh Market had an immediate impact on people and the community. It also provided some benefits to me as well, it feels good to contribute just like any other volunteer.”
We thank Rick for his consistent volunteer efforts and for helping to shape the future of our youth. You are truly an invaluable part of the FACCES family.
