ESWP Golf Outing

Rain Rain go away (it never did), come again another day! The ESWP Golf Outing was held on Monday, September 30 at Southpointe Golf Club inĀ  a steady drizzle. Ā While the course was in terrific shape and held up well, it was a soggy day for the golfers, who played thru the rain to play all 18 holes. Thanks to all of our Sponsors, and Gift Baskets donors for making it a special day! Congratulations to our winners in golf and raffle prizes! And thanks to all of our golfers for sticking with their round of golf!
