Phil Hansen Participated

 
Cecil Reid was back with us again this year, traveling all the way from Forest City, NC with his two daughters to participate in the tournament. He was the oldest male golfer and also the person traveling the furthest for the tournament. Thank you, Cecil, for your wonderful GiveBack to the Cando/Towner County area!
We were happy to welcome back a Team of Classmates - Class of 1966 - to our tournament again! Many thanks to Greg and Jan Westlind for sponsoring the team of Jeanette LaRock, Bill Steele, and Greg Westlind. Here they are visiting with another classmate, Tim Learned.
Special thanks to . . .
Impact Foundation and Dakota Medical Foundation for their support throughout the year and for our tournament. To all of the board, members, grounds crew, staff and volunteers at the Cando Golf Course - thank you for providing a beautiful course, lovely gathering space, many of the golf carts, and welcoming atmosphere. To R.J., Katie, and Kathy Miller from The Q Restaurant - thank you for your special efforts in serving up a wonderful dinner. A special thanks to Donna Huschle for her generous volunteer hours on the day before and the day of our tournament - we really appreciate your efforts! Our sincere thanks to Lavonne Haugen and Jill Eggl, Impact-Cando Connection Fund Advisory Board Member, who graciously shared their expert photography skills to capture the fun and excitement of our 11th Annual event in Cando. Our tournament was a success because of all of your GiveBack!
