"Wyndham Worldwide donated $100,000 to [Mike Barber's] First Tee [of the Triad, whose Board Member is Mark Brazil]"

Aug. 31, 2011

"The votes are in, and the winner of the inaugural Charity of Choice program at the recent Wyndham Championship is [Mike Barber's] The First Tee of the Triad. The program was created by tournament title sponsor Wyndham Worldwide, one of the world's largest hospitality companies.

Throughout the tournament, spectators voted at computer kiosks in the "Key to Wyn" tent for their "charity of choice" from almost 50 local and national not-for-profit children's organizations. The donation came through Wishes by Wyndham, the philanthropic foundation of Wyndham Worldwide and official charity of the Wyndham Championship.

TOURNAMENT DIRECTOR, Mark Brazil,

who serves on First Tee of the Triad's Board.

After Wyndham winner Webb Simpson [Sam Simpson's brother] received the Sam Snead Cup for winning the 72nd annual Wyndham Championship, he presented a $100,000 check to The First Tee of the Triad on behalf of Wishes by Wyndham.

Mark Brazil gives $100,000 of Wyndham's money

to Mike Barber's First Tee of the Triad

while serving on Barber's Board.

What are the odds?

"We were so grateful to the Wyndham for giving us this opportunity and thankful to all the fans who believed in us enough to vote for us," The First Tee of the Triad president Jeff Howard said.

Jeff Howard is Mike Barber's boss

and a personal buddy of First Tee board member Mark Brazil.

"We're in our fourth year, and we've touched over 16,000 kids already...

Thanks again to Wishes by Wyndham for this generous donation."

Following the Charity of Choice donation, The First Tee of the Triad donated $5,000 to each of the other top-five finishers in the Charity of Choice listed alphabetically: Autism Society of North Carolina, Greensboro Children's Museum, United Way and Victory Junction.

Did the other charities get paid off

after they objected to Brazil, Barber and Howard's

blatant nepotism via a rigged vote? 

Were the extra donations included in the original prize list?

Mike Barber is very close with Mark Brazil.

The board was made up 

of many of Mike and Mark's friends and business associates.  

Mark Brazil is BFFs with Joe Louis Barrow Jr.,

CEO of The First Tee.

http://www.thefirsttee.org/club/scripts/clubpers/view_clubpers.asp?SRC=L&PID=36616&GRP=17356&NS=CU

Joe Louis Barrow Jr. is close with Carole W. Bruce, whose name along with fellow First Tee of the Triad's George Clopton were knee deep with the Civil Rights Museum. 

Robert E. Long, Jr., Owner of Greensboro's Granville Capital, Inc., is on the national First Tee Board of Directors and, along with Mark Brazil, is angling to get $22.5 million from the City of Greensboro for water and sewer down 421, which Mike Barber already voted for an RFP for;

Yes Weekly's Jeff Sykes on Mike Barber's taxpayer and Jim Melvin paid for First Tee of the Triad golf racket

Mike Barber is owned by Jim Melvin funding First Tee, 

and is obviously Roy's boy per John Hammer's early endorsements.

"Greensboro City Council member Mike Barber, himself the head of a non-profit that receives money from the City of Greensboro and the Bryan Foundation...

Most of City Council, including Barber who skimms taxpayer money via First Tee

is relatively broke, 

which is why most are so inexpensive to purchase with nice dinners 

and campaign cash.

...Barber himself has taken in some $286,250 in salary from his non-profit between 2012-2014, according to available federal tax records.

Barber is also Jim Melvin's boy (See First Tee of the Triad),

who is stuck with relying on Melvin and the City for his income

by skimming about 25 cents on the dollar from every penny "given" to First Tee.

Barber also continues to vote on matters before council that benefit the Bryan Foundation and its subordinate initiatives such as the megasite project in Randolph County. Records show that the Bryan Foundation gave some $250,000 to the City of Greensboro to benefit Gillespie Park, where Barber’s non-profit First Tee of the Triad operates its youth golf initiative."

Mike Barber admitting he misled Greensboro's taxpayers and electorate on the Aquatic Center

http://greensboroperformingarts.blogspot.com/2015/01/mike-barber-admitting-he-misled.html

Barber is the perfect stooge, as he is reliant of Melvin and friends

of whom Mike has voted taxpayer monies for the Megasite

without any news outlet until now reporting

This looks like why Mike Barber freaked out about naming salaries of non profits doing business with Greensboro.

http://hartzman.blogspot.com/2014/05/this-looks-like-why-mike-barber-freaked.html

Arthur Winstead Jr., Treasurer for Mike Barber's City Council Campaign, appears to have given $250 and didn't get paid, but charged First Tee a relatively higher $15,000

http://hartzman.blogspot.com/2014/04/arthur-winstead-jr-treasurer-for-mike.html

As Mike Barber is a direct beneficiary of Bryan Foundation money

via First Tee of the Triad,

through which he pads his income along with Greensboro taxpayer support 

it appears Mike Barber has a conflict of interest

and should not vote on any item associated with the Bryan Foundation

or the Randolph County Megasite project

Who would be stupid enough to spend $22.5 million to get water and sewer to a Megasite, about 10 miles away from another that already has it?

http://greensboroperformingarts.blogspot.com/2015/02/180-existing-mega-sites-and-now-181-and.html

Two different stories, two different demographics, two different outcomes, two different worlds, two sets of rules

http://greensboroperformingarts.blogspot.com/2015/02/two-different-stories-two-different.html

How many times does it take to get scammed by some of our elected leadership
who are lining the pockets of their friends and campaign contributors?

Remember when Robbie Perkins personally profited 
from getting taxpayer funded water and sewer to the old Pilot Life building?

Remember when Robbie, Zack and Nancy Vaughan voted to give Roy Carroll 
a sewer line under the highway for Roy's AMEX property, 
which guranteed water and sewer to Roy's other property next to it?

Remember when then Greensboro mayor Robbie Perkins
negotiated a $19 million deal with the county 
to bring water and sewer lines to eastern Guilford County
and open up 9,000 acres to development?

Remember when Mike Solomon with The Timmons Group 
said the Project Haystack team had been in conversations with Burlington and Greensboro 
regarding an estimated $15 million water supply line extension from Burlington 
and a $20.1 million sewer line extension from Greensboro? 

Remember the economic feasibility study that said if Project Haystack was fully built out, 
it could generate $39.1 million in state and local tax revenue?

Remember when Solomon said the Project Haystack team started conversations with landowners, 
and worked to form a nonprofit entity and an interlocal agreement,

just like the Randolph deal?
