Slots available for 5th annual Tim Ching Memorial Golf Tournament fundraiser for kids

The 5th annual Tim Ching Memorial Golf Tournament is approaching fast, and the surprise is that there are still a few foursome slots open for those wanting to raise funds for children's programs. Again this year, the tournament will be held at Catta Verdera Country Club, one of the most beautiful and challenging golf courses in the South Placer County area. The tournament will be Monday, June 15, with registration beginning at 8:30 a.m., followed by a shotgun start at 10. "Our goal every year is to raise funds for children in need," said Brian McLean, the Kiwanis tournament coordinator. "There are many groups that help children; our job is to raise the funds for them to do the helping work." The tournament, put on by the Kiwanis Clubs of Roseville and Citrus Heights, raises money for more than a dozen charities and activities for children from the area. Such activities include police athletic leagues, cancer treatment, adoption services, girls' and boys' clubs, clothing for kids, scouting, Feeding the Foothills and more. It is a fun day with such contests as longest drive, putting, closest to the pin and more. The course is located at 1111 Catta Verdera in Lincoln. If you are interested in forming a foursome or being a sponsor, contact McLean at bmclean@farmersagent.com or call 916-223-1042. The program includes lunch, awards and a raffle.
