KCMPI's Annual Golf Tournament was held Sept. 11, 2008, at Tiffany Greens Golf Club. Although it was a cloudy rainy day, you would have never known it. The participants were not scared away with threats of rain. To the contrary, spirits were upbeat and a friendly, competitive mood was apparent. Many participants were in town for Monday's Meetings & Events show that was held at The Sheraton Hotel and they were finishing their week with a little fun and relaxation on the golf course. Even though the weather was not picnic weather, the day started with a "picnic" style lunch of hamburgers and hot dogs, allowing our stomachs to be fooled into thinking it was a beautiful sunny day. Janice McClain emceed the lunch event beginning with a moment of silence in honor of Patriot's Day. Next on the agenda, a raffle sparked excitement, and a silent auction raised additional money. After lunch, Kyle Hurst with Tiffany Springs Golf Club gave us an updated weather report and sent the golfers on their way. In their golf carts, golfers were greeted with a bag of goodies from sponsors. Golfers began play with a scramble - style tournament and the weather cooperated "most" of the day. Following the tournament, the evening was capped off with an award reception and dinner provided by On the Border Catering.
