BLUE SKIES, PERFECT TEMPERATURE, GOOD FRIENDS AND GOLF, WHAT COULD BE MORE PERFECT THAN THAT? WELL, IF IT IS FOR A GOOD CAUSE AND THAT IS WHAT WE HAD ON THE FIRST SUNDAY OF MAY. THIRTEEN TEAMS SET OFF FOR A CHANCE TO WIN A NEW MUSTANG AND HELP BUILD A NEW HOUSE IN SHONGWENI. THE SETTING WAS AGAIN AT LEISURE WORLD ON THE COYOTE COURSE AND THE SHOTGUN START BEGAN AT ONE O'CLOCK SHARP. THE VOLUNTEERS FROM CHRIST CHURCH AND LOVE OF CHRIST HAD THE CARTS IN THEIR PLACES AND REGISTRATION WAS HANDLED SMOOTHLY. WITH ALL THE GOLFERS ON THE COURSE, IT WAS A TIME TO RELAX AND PREPARE OURSELVES FOR THE DINNER TO BE SERVED AT 5:30. WORK SOON BEGAN IN THE KITCHEN AND ON THE GRILL WHERE DEL AND LOREN AGAIN WERE ASKED TO PREPARE THE CHICKEN. LAURELL AND PAT ALONG WITH RUTH AND LYNNE HANDLED THE CHORES IN THE KITCHEN AND THE SERVING LINE LATER IN THE DAY. THE GOLFERS BEGAN ARRIVING BEFORE 5 AND SOME OF THE TEAMS, BECAUSE OF THE GOOD FELLOWSHIP, DID NOT COME IN UNTIL RIGHT AT DINNER. OVER 125 GOLFERS AND GUESTS ENJOYED A GREAT DINNER AND THERE WAS PLENTY FOR SECONDS.
EVERYONE WAS BROUGHT UP TO DATE WITH THE PROGRESS IN SOUTH AFRICA BY BOTH A VIDEO AND SLIDES. AWARDS WERE HANDED OUT WITH PAUL SCHULDT'S TEAM TAKING THE TOP HONORS AGAIN. MANY RAFFLE PRIZES WERE GIVEN AND EVERYONE LEFT WITH A SENSE OF PARTICIPATION IN THE SHONGWENI MISSION. THANKS TO ALL PARTICIPANTS AND DONORS TO PROVIDE THE MATERIALS FOR A NEW HOUSE FOR THE DLUDLA FAMILY. DREW WEST AND THE TEAM HE IS LEADING IN JULY, WILL BEGIN THE WORK AND THE OCTOBER TEAM WILL COMPLETE AND DEDICATE THE HOUSE. BY THE WAY, NO ONE WON THE CAR THIS YEAR--MAYBE NEXT.
