Summer Golf Scramble / Silent Auction Event – August 2010

The Annual Golf/Silent Auction/Dinner was held at Golden Valley Golf and Country Club on Monday, August 16th.  The setting was perfect, and the participants rejoiced in even more perfect weather.  Over 135 golfers enjoyed a most beautiful golf experience (foursomes both morning and afternoon), morning golfers enjoyed breakfast, lunch and dinner, and afternoon golfers joined them for lunch and dinner.  The Silent Auction (thanks to Mary Ann Tellers, Lois Wendt and committee) was a marvelous array of items that drew bidders from among the over 220 diners.  Local businesses donated items for the Silent Auction.  Many thanks to the Friends of PRISM and the golf committee for organizing the golf dinner and auction and to everyone who helped make it happen!
