It's time to get the clubs out and help the next four golf tournaments continue to assist so many in our community.
This golf tournament has a twist " you get to enjoy nine holes of evening golf, wine tasting and dine on a gourmet dinner at the Silver Oaks Club. This event is limited and features great prizes and a silent auction.
Here is the twist, if you are a non-golfer, you can enjoy the social hour with appetizers and bunco hosted by the BAWN Women's Council. You'll receive the same benefits of wine tasting and gourmet dinner without searching for that little white ball.
