Our first annual golf tournament was a huge success! Thank you for everyone who came out to play, donated or volunteered their time! We couldn’t have asked for better weather and hope you all enjoyed yourselves! Proceeds from this event will go towards the Warren Opera House Restoration Project, be sure to keep an eye out for those improvements as they happen!
