Monday, September 16, marked the 19th anniversary of the Bishop McDonald Catholic Charities Golf Tournament held at the Maumelle Country Club.  The tournament was underwritten in part by St. Vincent Health System and by Brad Baltz, M.D.  The golf tournament is the primary fund raiser for Catholic Charities.  Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic Church was a Champion Sponsor.  To become a Champion Sponsor, a business or organization must donate $5,000.

Eight teams from Sacred Heart of Jesus Church, including two teams from the Knights of Columbus, participated in the tournament.  The first morning flight had Deacon Bill Friedman, Deacon Larry Lipsmeyer, John Behling and Rob Bowers taking second place.  The first afternoon flight had Larry Stein, Rick Meyers, Don Levac and Don Glinka representing the Knights of Columbus taking third place.

There was only one all ladies team from Sacred Heart, pictured above.  The other five teams were made up of men and women parishioners from Sacred Heart Church.  They are Ed Miller, Danny Murphy, Bill Patterson, Scott Krantz;  Dennis VanLeeuwen, Fr. Bill Elser, Tom Ament, Phil Stephenson;  Milt Spaniel, Bill Roe, Mike Welsh, Gary Wolfer;  Ralph Melenson, Gene Widlowski, David Witchger, Ed Calhoun;  Jim and JoAnn Arnold, Richard and Marilyn Allen.
