The Rotary Club of Blanco County sponsored the annual Joe Garcia Memorial Golf Tournament May 9th, at Blanco’s Vaaler Creek Golf Course.
Over 80 golfers enjoyed a day of sport, camaraderie, and fun as they supported the many worthy projects sponsored by the Rotary. The winning foursome (pictured), sponsored by Frost Bank, were Fair Oaks Rotarians David Murrah, Ron Hubbard, John Rogers and Dave Driskell. Prizes were also awarded in contests for closest to the pin, longest drive, etc. Several Blanco High School cheerleaders assisted by passing out raffle tickets and are pictured with golfers from Canyon Lake Rotary Club.
The tournament is the major fund raiser for the Rotary Club of Blanco County. Thanks to the players, many sponsors, and donations to the silent auction, the Rotary Club raised over $25,000. This money is used throughout the year for such projects as scholarships for high school seniors, human trafficking awareness, art supplies for elementary students, drug and alcohol prevention, Project Graduation support, hygiene and save-a-life kits, and many others.
