The 2nd Annual Salmon Creek Business Group’s Golf Tournament was held at Tri-Mountain on Tuesday, August 23, 2011. Nearly 30 community members came together to raise money for the five elementary schools that lie within the boundaries of the Salmon Creek Business Group. This includes, Felida, Sarah J Anderson, Chinook, Salmon Creek, and Pleasant Valley Primary. Over $1,200 was raised for the schools to be used toward school supplies for kids who can’t provide their own. The tournament kicked-off at 3:00 p.m. with a nine-hole scramble, music featuring the Matt Brown Trio, which one player commented this was the first golf tournament he had participated in with live music and it was much appreciated, there was also raffle prizes, and a Hawaiian themed buffet. Almost all the principals, of the benefitting schools, were able to come by, meet the players, and offer their thanks for the donation. Said one principal, “This is a wonderful gift and we truly appreciate the generous donation. I guarantee it will be used–our backpacks and school supplies for children who need them are already flying out of here. Thank you again…and please thank the whole group for us!”
