LSG Golf Outing
|
|
 Lutheran
Services of Georgia planned to celebrate 15 years of bringing hope, healing and
strength to people in need by "Playing for Hope" at the Atlanta Golf
Classic on Monday, October 12. However, due to inclement weather
we had to reschedule our golf outing for Monday, November 23, at the Golf Club
at Bradshaw Farm in Woodstock, Georgia.
This presents an opportunity to support the vital services of Lutheran
Services of Georgia. For the past 15
years this event has strengthened and reinvigorated Lutheran Services of Georgia's
mission to bring hope, healing and strength to vulnerable children and families
in need. Join us as "We're Hoping to
Play" Monday, November 23.
Registration begins at 8:30AM, with
a new shotgun start at 9:30AM. For a fee of $100, you'll still get breakfast, lunch, golf cart,
green fees and a hamburger and hot dog cookout at the 19th Hole
Party. We have reopened registration so spots are still available. You can also visit our website at www.lsga.org/Golf.htm to register or for more information.
