Maggie Grad a hit on the greens
Twin Lakes Golf Course hosted the annual Princess Margaret Dry Grad Golf By Donation Day on April 29. Over 140 people, golfers and supporters, showed up to help the 2012 Grads raise money for their Dry Grad. “It was a great day for golf and community spirit,” said Kate Swanson of Twin Lakes. “I understand that Maggie Dry Grad raised almost $4,000 on their Golf By Donation Day. It feels great to be able to give back to the community in such a big way.” Swanson said if other groups would like to reserve the course for a Golf By Donation Day, email her at Twinlakesgolfcourse@telus.net.
