2009 Golf Tournament a Success

June 16, 2009

The 8th Annual KidsTek Charity Golf Tournament was held on June 15th.  The weather cooperated and a great time was had by the 92 participants.  Through the support of key sponsors including Arrow Partnership, Ciber, IHS , and ViaWest the event was successful in raising money to fund KidsTek after-school programs. KidsTek is very of appreciative everyone’s support, particularly during these challenging economic times. Next year's tournament, the ninth, will again be held at Green Gables Country Club on Monday, June 14th.
