June 16, 2018 is the date for our annual golf tourna-

ment this year. We are extremely excited for our 5th

year, time goes by so fast. It seems like yesterday

when we were all brand new doing this. We usually

have a great turn out on Father’s Day weekend.

Great weather, great golfers and some amazing grill-

ers for our freshly prepared BBQ lunch. Our staff and

various council members will be on site all day at

Oak Hills County Club in Dixon for this county wide

event! We’ll have the 25,000.00 Hole in one Prize

and many other prizes donated by our area ‘s local

businesses. We are currently seeking hole sponsors

and silent auction items as well as door prize gifts for

our golfers. We have some great donations so far

and we add to the list daily. See our Sponsor’s on our
