DAVENPORT, IA– Vera French Community Mental

Health Center is pleased to announce that the Board

of Directors has appointed Richard Whitaker as the

organiza<on’s new Chief Execu<ve Officer.

Dr. Whitaker joined the Vera French team on January

23, 2017. His major responsibili<es include planning,

execu<on, and oversight of the three Vera French non

-profit corpora<ons – Vera French Community Mental

Health Center, Vera French Housing, and the Vera

French Founda<on.

With over 20 years in clinical and administra<ve lead-

ership posi<ons in healthcare organiza<ons in Nebraska and then Indiana, Dr. Whitaker

brings a wealth of experience to the CEO posi<on and looks forward to becoming ac<vely

involved in the community.

“Vera French Community Mental Health Center has been a mainstay in the community

since its early beginnings in 1949, and its future is brighter than ever,” Rich stated. “I’m

thrilled to be working with such a dedicated, experienced Board of Directors, and I’m in

awe at the amazing achievements of our qualified, professional staff. Every day, their con-

sistent contribu<ons to the work of behavioral health treatment and support make a meas-

urable difference in the lives of people who count on their exper<se. Sco) County is a won-

derful place to live, and my family and I are excited to come back to the Quad Ci<es, where

I served as a doctoral intern at the Marriage & Family Counseling Service in Rock Island

over 20 years ago. It’s great to again be a part of such a wonderful community.”

LAST WEEK - September 15, 2017 – Golf Outing

It was a perfect day for playing Golf…..much unlike the past two years. Seventy five members and guests gathered at the shelter area near Glynns Creek Golf Course at Scott County Park, for lunch catered by Smokin’ Butt Barbeque from Davenport. Many thanks to Tyler Bindrum for arranging lunch.

Forty four members and guests played Golf, organized by Tom Messer and Jeff Helms. The format was a little different this year, since we were playing at a different course. Many thanks to the 13 Hole spon-sors: First Central State Bank, Burt Chiropractic Clinic, Mid State Transmission, Northwest Bank Investment Department, Carpet Land USA, Strieters Body Shop, Powell Financial, Fahrenkrog Accounting, Brand T Screen Printing, Runge Mortuary, Wells Fargo Advisors, White Roofing and Central Scott Telephone.

Rick Willows, the caterer, donated 2 bottles of BBQ sauce. Leroy Paustian won one, as he was the oldest person attending and Brad Scott, guest of Steve Fahrenkrog, won the other one for coming the farthest distance. Thanks to all who helped make this a successful event!
