Monday was a great day of golf with about $30,000 raised for
Opportunity International, the 2015 National Club charity of choice. The weather was ideal - not too hot and the rain stayed away except for a few, short refreshing sprinkles.
The golf tournament has become part of our annual "Giving Back" initiative, which has seen more than $300,000 raised from Club members and donated to charities. Our gala dinner, also in support of Opportunity International, will be held September 23rd.
