Behind many a great event you will find a crew of people that are the glue that hold that event together. They are called VOLUNTEERS. They come ready to help and wearing a smile. Sometimes, that crew has to roll with the punches, improvise, create, and use super-human strength, mentally, physically, spiritually, and emotionally. TO ALL volunteers that helped at our golf tournament, both pictured and not, you are the reason we got from point A to point B at Monday's golf tournament, so THANK YOU a million times over for every fine detail you contributed! The same thanks goes to the committee that volunteered their time to plan the event. Wowsers! Great work all around! #volunteers #teamwork #community #service #nonprofit #fundraiser #golf #tournament #riverbendcc #htx #OCWH #sltx #westhouston
