Sunny skies and big smiles heralded the start of a very succesful day of golf, networking and just plain fun. Golfers were enthusiastically greeted by volunteers from Goodwill’s CARE program as they arrived for registration and lunch. 2010 Co-hosts Joe Walter and Stephanie Mitchell welcomed everyone to the 10th Anniversary Celebration and guests were entertained by a video snapshot of the past 10 years of Goodwill golf outings before hitting the links.
