Here We Grow For 2010!

We're thrilled to announce Hollywood Markets is returning as the presenting sponsor for 2010!
Thanks to Thom Welch and the entire team at Hollywood Markets for their support and commitment as we continue to grow our event.
The partnership with the family-owned grocery chain allowed us to make a giant leap forward with our fundraising in 2009. We look forward on even better 2010!
We invite you to join us for a great day and a wonderful cause as we continue to help in the fight against chronic Kidney Disease.

Focus on 2010!

Oakhurst's Great Hall was packed for the dinner and awards program following a great day of golf.
The good feelings remain after a successful 2009 event, but the golf committee is now turning its focus to 2010.
We met for the first time on October 22 at WXYZ-TV.
During the meeting we welcomed new committee members Nicole Longhini-McElroy and Terry Sullivan. We look forward to their participation and support in joining a great group of people dedicated our event and the cause!

Golf Day!

Thanks to all for making our 2009 NKFM Golf Classic a success!
A special thank you to Thom Welch and Hollywood Markets for their support as our presenting sponsor for this year's event.
The weather cleared, allowing for a great day for our golfers!
I will be posting photographs soon of the event, so check back here often. In the meantime, I have just come across a new software program that allows for the creation of cool digital media collages. This is my first attempt, utilizing pictures and images from 2008 along with some additional items used to promote this year's event. Hopefully future presentations will be more sophisticated.
