A great turnout, a gorgeous day and some fabulous prizes created a successful Rotary Scholarship Benefit Golf Tournament on June 27, according to the event chairman. Golfers and sponsors included several visiting Rotarians, including Sojourner Frank Haines, pictured above.
“The 2015 tournament had the best turn out we have experienced in several years. We had 70 golfers, and everyone left happy,” said Bruce Carmichael, golf tournament chairman.
“We are still collecting sponsor pledges and paying our bills, so I can't give official fundraising results, but I believe we have exceeded our goal of 12,000,” he added.
