We are still swooning over the success of our October 6 golf tournament. From the amazing summerlike weather to the heartfelt speech by our Ambassador Matthew Carmack and his son Colton - it was an amazing day. And we couldn't do it without our committee members Victor Ebersole, Mark Lathrop, Harry Colonis, Jeff Mazzella, Diane Deedy, Shannon Taber, Chap Hanley, Greg Massad and a supportive board of Directors.

Thank you again to everyone who sponsored, played, donated raffle and auction items, purchased tickets and tee signs - all to support people with disabilities in our community.
