After a two-year break, we were very happy to have all of our golf family back together again to celebrate. Our golf tournament is a BIG golfing family reunion. The tournament was opened with a prayer by Pastor Aaron Kalbus. This year we had a total of fifty-six three-man teams. Twenty- eight teams began play at seven in the morning and twenty-eight teams began play in the afternoon. Many thanks go to all of the golfers that came out to help celebrate the 30th anniversary.
