ROTARY GOLF TOURNAMENT is soon coming up August 29. We currently earn 6-$8,000 each year. President Kevin CHALLENGED club members to increase sales of $100 sponsorships by at least twenty. These sponsorships are the easiest to procure, so each of us should be trying to engage businesses and others to help support our efforts by purchasing one. The information is listed on our website.
