“This event was about a lot of people coming together to help make the holiday events happen,” he said.

Outing chairman Dick Shanahan was ably assisted by Debra Sanders, Barbara Dasti, and Betty McGilvary.

Tom Wagor conducted an auction for special gifts, while another 25 gifts were distributed through a raffle.

Majors sponsors included Collier Seawall & Dock, the Marco Eagle, Gem Remotes, Erin’s Isle Restaurant and Marco Island Sun Times. There were also 36 hole sponsors.

The women’s team, with a score of 76, included Betty Kuzmeski, Aggie Malloy, Carol Renaud and Nel Morsch.
