13th Annual William G. Rose Golf Tournament

On Friday, July 19, 2019 – 124 golfers hit the links for the Annual William G. Rose Golf tournament.  The weather was cool but made it comfortable for all in attendance.

Prior to our prize presentations, a moment of silence was held to pay respect to the Hawk Air family who lost two of their crew just days before the tournament.  Hawk Air has been a supporter of our golf tournament from the beginning.
