2024 WECSSO Golf Tournament

Posted on by
A Message From The President,
On behalf of our WECSSO Board I would like to thank Mike Palenchar and Don Balkwill for arranging another very successful WECSSO golf tournament on Friday.   Ninety six golfers teed off at 9am  under ideal weather conditions.  One could not ask for better weather to play golf with friends and fellow WECSSO members.
 
Thanks, also, to our volunteers  who gave up their day to assist where needed “behind the scenes”.  
 
Thanks Patti, Aldo, Barbara, Cathy – your efforts on behalf of WECSSO were much appreciated and welcomed. 
 
Finally, a big thank you to the golfers who participated in our tournament. Hopefully you had a good time and plan to return next year for our third annual tournament.
