GOLFING FOR CHARITY - RALLY FOR THE CURE (of breast cancer)

Fred and Ann Stoneback did an amazing job making this tournament happen.

Their list of GENEROUS DONORS include Bob and JoAnne Slagle who not only provided the unhealthy donuts (ok it is traditional) but also provided some without pink icing and bananas and apples-- A real healthy favorite of mine anyway.

I have to give praise to the Wigwam Red's staff who not only set up coffee but actually hovered over the service table to ensure empty containers were filled, etc.

Justin Creighton was on hand, working hard to pass out RFTC lunch bags and pins, scorecards, determine winners of the raffle and results. We sure appreciate the great work the Pro Shop does to assist with these big tournaments--they are pros at it to be sure.

Every one of the 99 golfers who played received a pink sheet listing 40 of those generous donors. Wow, what a cast of thousands! Be sure to refer to your list when your needs lead you to restaurants, golf courses, golf instructors, exercise and massage service providers. 

Ann said the total donation being sent to the Rally For the Cure is $4,125.00. Not too shabby for getting out and having fun on our beautiful Patriot Golf Course in chamber of commerce weather.

On to the WINNERS.
