2010 Golf Tournament


 

Check out more photos on facebook.

The 13th Annual Opportunity House Golf Tournament took place on Monday, June 7th at the Berkshire Country Club. Once again, the Weather Gods were smiling on us, for the sun shone brightly and there was a nice breeze all day! For the past several years, our tournament has been special, in that many sports celebrities have joined in the days events. This year was no exception with Pro Football players Fred Baxter, Jim Nelson, Omar Easy, & Brad Scioli joining us, along with Olympic Medalist Diann Roffe and Allison Baver.

We were sold out this year, with 30 foursomes playing in a four man scramble format.

Marcia Graff, local Berks County artist designed and painted a beautiful mural in the women's dorm.  The mural, a labor of love and perfection was completed in January 2010.  It depicts the serene and peaceful scene that has a calming effect in stressful times.  The women and children enjoyed the process and especially enjoy the final results.
