On Tuesday, October 20th, Council No. 2279 hosted a charity golf tournament to benefit the Maintenance and Facilities fund at Archbishop Neale School.

After a crisp start, the weather turned comfortable and led to a beautiful day. 89 golfers participated and enjoyed a great day of golf that included a putting contest, long drive and closest to the pin competition.

An exciting awards banquet concluded the day with a great meal consisting of BBQ chicken breast, pulled pork, baked beans, coleslaw, rolls and dessert.

A live auction was held with PGK Danny Mayer as the auctioneer which raised nearly $500.

The golf committee of GK Ryan Mudd, DGK George Grooms, Butch Birley, PGK Pete Czupryna, Tony Holson, Marcy Santos, Jim O'Neill, Brad Howard and Joe Bowling would like to thank everyone for their support.
