Benefit Golf Tournament
(6/13/2008) Couldn't have asked for a better day for a golf tourney! This year's benefit for the Sunrise Rotary Scholarship Program went off without a hitch. Congratulations to Bill Buck, Tom Knott and the entire golf tourney committee on a tremedous event. Together, this year's 104 golfers and our generous hole sponsors raised over $15,000.

Committee Chairman Bill Buck's offered this event description and wrap-up for this year:
"On Friday June 13th we held the 2008 Rotary Club of Santa Cruz Sunrise Annual Golf Tournament. This tournament is the club's only source for our scholarship program and when these young people attend our morning meetings to pick up their first years check (of four year scholarships) it's easy and very rewarding to see the great aspirations and abilities of our communities youth. And what a fun way to raise these funds, we had 25 foursomes and in true Rotarian style we had four first place teams (Overall, Men's, Women's, & Coed) but basically everyone was a winner, including the last place team which after all did post the highest score (nice job Jim, at least you guys rule on the bike ride). In the end all that seemed to matter was another great Bar-B-Q by Vince and his crew. Thanks to all our golfers, volunteers, hole sponsors and everyone else who donated gifts and prizes, for making this year's event was the most successful ever!"
