There will be games such as closest to the pin, longest drive, and a putting contests. Our BBQ favorite chef Mark Fleming, with the support of DeeDee Vierra and Sheila Grizzell, will create a wonderful dinner. No-host beer and wine will be offered and, possibly, some music, which is still being finalized. YOU will be asked to help with selling tickets and work that day. Tickets are $25 each which includes the clinic and the BBQ dinner. The information is on the front page of our club website (www.pennvalleyrotary.com).
