Golf for "Vigilant" Tournament June 16, 2011

Were you aware that our local Coast Guard Auxiliary unit based in Crescent Beeach is on call and available 24/7 to assist our community when an incident threatens life or property on the water? From boaters to swimmers, crabbers to wind-surfers and everything in between, we are there when help is needed.
Our main fund-raising initiative is the annual golf tournament being held this year on June 16th at Hazelmere Golf and Country Club.   Your involvement can make a huge difference and we would sincerely appreciate having you on board as a sponsor or a golfer.
Please email spmrs@telus.net for an information package as to how you can help.
