Golf Tournament

This was sent out by Patrick Shores who organized the golf Tournament to raise money for the CarePoints I work with. THANK YOU!!! AND EVERYONED WHO HELPED!!!!I would like to give you an update on our 2nd annual Oasis Africa Golf Tournament that took place in July. It was a success!!
65 golfers enjoyed a beautiful day of golf, food, fun, and fellowship Monday at the Providence Club in Monroe. Chick-Fil-A got us all started with their usual great breakfast spread. Before the golfing even started we made exciting news with Bill Jones winning the Putting Contest. What makes this even more special was that Bill had never played golf before in his life! Beginners luck or just doing the right thing by being there?
Nobody won the Infiniti G35 provided by Infiniti of Gwinnett or the IRAQ experienced Humvee provided by Live, Laugh, Love. Maybe next year! There were some good golf shots all day long by many golfers. Steve Alsup made out very well by winning a closest-to-pin on hole number 7 and a long drive too. By being the closest on that hole he won a round trip ticket for two provided by Wings Air for their special chartered flights
(http://www.wingsair.com/). At least one person on each foursome won a trip on Wings Air too. All in all it was a good day for many golfers. When the day was over for golf, we all sat down to a treat of food from Beef-O-Brady’s and our very own EJ Lehman. EJ stepped it up a lot with special food to fill the bellies of everyone.
Here are the winners of the 2nd Annual Oasis Africa Golf Tournament. Please congratulate them when you see them and ask if they had a good time. Next year, if you did not play this year, you should put us on your calendar. It doesn’t matter if you are a great golfer or not. You will enjoy the day, golf, and feel proud of what you are supporting. The children of Africa and I thank you.

I also want to thank all of my volunteers. Without them this event would not work. Their time and effort is what makes the tournament go smoothly and enjoyable to everyone.
Bonnie Shores, Susan Owen, Scott Cabaniss, Tammy Cabaniss, Donna Hendrix, Tracy Keener, Tammy Tart, Kim Calhoun, Wanda McClure, Amy Wilke, Jordan Wilke, and Jackson Shores.
Our sponsors play such a crucial role in running such an event. Without them the tournament simply would not be held. Please think of them when you need or want the services they provide including Eagle Rock for supplying our Monster drinks on Hole # 7.
It has been my pleasure running this tournament. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of it.
