Tomorrow's Child Golf Benefit Results

Thanks to everyone who supported Lakeside's two foursomes at this annual event, benefitting the Krause Children's Center in Katy. The Krause Center serves children and youth who have suffered various kinds of abuse, helping them to recover and to become productive members of society. It's truly the work of Jesus Christ.

This year's benefit tournament was held at Pine Forest County Club on Clay Road in west Houston.

First, the important statistics:
  • The two Lakeside foursomes raised in excess of $2400
  • The tournament as a whole raised in excess of $116,000

These are both record amounts, to my recollection. It was great to be part of supporting such a worthy cause.

The foursome of Pat Olfers, Mike Olfers, Gage Olfers, and Thanassi Varvoutis came in at 2 over par in the Florida Scramble. The foursome of Captain David Williams, Paul Miller, Zach Young, and I signed for seven over par, and won the "Most Fun Team" award. The folks at Lutheran Social Services were too kind to say that we had the worst score of all!

We had a great time, and the rain (mostly) stayed away.

Jim, thanks for your leadership in unfolding this blog...question? Do the blog commetns come to you? and then posted? Do you have "editing" power? I have a comment on our newlife4all blog site that seems like it doesn't belong there. Is there a way to delete?
