Pat Becker’s 40 Years of Service Honored at Pineapple Gala
The Pineapple Committee and the Faulkner Family acknowledged Pat Becker
for her 40-years of active volunteer involvement with the Pineapple Gala. Since
turning the event into a dinner/auction 30+ years ago, Pat has taken charge of
coordinating the 500+ auction items donated each year. Once gala items are
obtained by many wonderful volunteers, Pat records them, labels them, describes
them for the evening’s program, and on and on. For many years, Pat’s #1 assistant
was Cathy Faulkner. Cathy passed away nearly five years ago, after an 11-year
battle with cancer. Cathy's passing was tough on everyone, particularly Pat, who
worked along side Cathy for decades.

Hogan-Hansen Awarded Trailblazer Award for 40 years of Dedication to Camp
Hogan-Hansen was honored at the 2019 Pineapple Gala with this year’s Trailblazer
Award. They truly have been trail blazers, from turning Camp’s finances around
in 1980 to taking Camp Courageous to the highest level of integrity and good
stewardship today. It speaks volumes when the outside agency that knows more
about Camp Courageous and its finances than anyone on the outside, and the
vast majority on the inside, are also individually, and as a company, some of Camp
Courageous’ largest donors.
In 1980 a 25-year-old high school teacher came to Camp Courageous to become
its director. With virtually no experience he walked into a camp that owed the
Monticello State Bank $35,000; money raised to build a new $100,000 indoor pool
was spent to make ends meet, it had been without a director for nearly 6-months,
and a vendor was in the process of suing the camp for non-payment of bills.
Fortunately teachers continue to be paid a salary through the summer.
There was an immediate need to professionally audit the camp’s finances, that
were composed of camp accounts and special accounts. Camp Board Member,
Merle Hennessy, recommended the services of John Botkin, a CPA the Hennessy
Construction firm had used for years. Thus was born a relationship that is now
into its 40th year.
In 1986, Kevin Ballard joined the Hogan - Hansen staff, which would begin the
